In partnership with Athleta. Active. Healthy. Confident.

Today is National Girls & Women in Sports Day, and to celebrate Lilly and I are partnering with our favorite activewear brand, Athleta, to share some of our favorite ways we stay active together! As a mother, it’s important to me to set a healthy, active example for my kids. I want to encourage them to be strong, both inside and out.

Lilly is using these pink toning weight balls

My kids love to try out a lot of different sports and activities, which I encourage! There are so many more options today than there were when I was growing up. Staying active not only builds a healthy lifestyle, it builds confidence, too! 

Having a small gym space in our home has definitely boosted our activity level. It’s fun to turn on some music and exercise together. Lilly loves practicing yoga, doing pilates, dancing, tumbling, cycling, lifting (light) weights, jumping rope… a wide variety of exercise keeps it interesting! And you don’t need a room dedicated solely as a gym, a small open space anywhere in your home will work.

Our pilates reformer is pretty popular in my house (we have the Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformer). It’s my favorite way to exercise! It’s great for strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, and is really fun to use.

Taking a cool break, which rather nicely shows off Lilly’s Athleta sweatband! I love how it coordinates with her leggings.

Speaking of, Athleta’s leggings and tops are soft and stretchy – important features for kids! They’re great for all activities – both indoors and outdoors!

And I love my white crisscross hoodie! It’s thin and lightweight, but still keeps me warm.

Today, February 6th, marks the 33rd Annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day! This celebration has empowered women and girls to get moving, reap the benefits of physical activity, and push past their limits both in sports and in life. Lilly & I hope you’ll join us in celebrating!

It’s an unordinary day on the blog today as Lilly leads me in yoga. Some things to keep in mind are 1) I don’t do yoga and 2) I don’t do yoga.

 

 

But, like most moms, I’m down for anything when it comes to spending time with my girl. And thanks to Athleta we both get to dress the part! Lilly practices yoga at school so she was able to show me a few of her favorite moves. Some I totally nailed (in my mind)…

 

 

And some I’m going to have to work on…

 

 

Everyone knows that exercising is more fun with a prop (especially when they’re pink).

 

 

At this point we’re professionals…

 

 

It makes my heart happy to see Lilly enjoy exercise. I want her to know that her potential is limitless, to be inspired to try everything she dreams of. Athleta Girl offers high quality, comfortable apparel with product features like hidden pockets, NEVEREND drawstrings, and chafe-free seamless fabric. They’re collection is versatile and well designed that Lilly can grow with. Plus, they’re leggings feel like pure butter. We are BIG Athleta fans here at our house and I highly recommend you check them out, too!

One of my favorite every day of the week brands, Lilla P, just launched a kids capsule collection called LP Generation! I am SO excited about this. Pauline, the designer of the brand, wanted the perfect little tee for her boys – so she created a unisex line in lightweight slub cotton just for kids!

 

 

No surprise, we love all the pieces! The colors are all really pretty and you all know how kids just want to be in easy comfortable clothes. Check out Lilla P and their new Generation line right here!

Lilly has a new favorite kids brand! I love when we find both cute and classic clothing for kids that isn’t mass produced! And Hadley Girl is all that, plus comfortable so Lilly loves wearing it!

 

 

Lilly Wearing:

 

linen pippa dress in pink, liberty of london headband

 

Hello Hadley started out as a bow company (I bet many of you have seen them before). Lilly has some of their striped and floral scrunchies and even I love borrowing them! They’re based in Colorado and the line was started by a mom who wanted cute accessories for her kids to play in. This year they extended their collection to clothing and it’s just sooo cute! Lilly’s favorite dress of all is this stripe peony everyday dress. It’s so cute on! Here are more of our favorites from the collection!

Today I’m so excited to introduce you all to my amazingly talented friends’ new project – Lil Bit Lit! It’s a new type of children’s publishing house founded by these three beauties – Jenny DiBenedetto, Molly Fienning, and Raven Roxanne.

Their mission is to create beautiful, art-forward story books – written and illustrated by awesome Southern artists. They’re first story book, A Raven’s Nest, is a tale of a young girl named Raven and her mischievous dog Willie. Expect to see whimsical, abstract nests and a lot of color by Charleston artist, Raven Roxanne.

 

 

But A Raven’s Nest needs our support! I just purchased my advance copy through their Lil Bit Lit Kickstarter! I hope you’ll purchase your copy, too! And you HAVE to watch the video the girls made – it’s beautiful. Check it out right here!
