Green Power Smoothie
Ever since January, we have been drinking green smoothies at our house on the regular in my husbands attempt at trying to get in as many greens as he can. I love it because he has perfected his recipe to be super delicious and it tastes so refreshing that you start to crave them rather than feeling like you have to choke them down. Our little girl will even try to steal all of mine so that tells you it must be pretty tasty. I wanted to share the recipe with you guys since we've been loving them.
I also have a fun little giveaway for you today! Since I've been pregnant, I've seriously been living in my Henry Mack house dress all the time. It feels so comfy and I love how I can just throw it on and not worry about looking like I'm still in my pajamas if someone comes over. I love that they have brought back the house dress for the modern mom and made something super cute and stylish that is comfy for those early mornings with kids, running errands, driving carpool, cooking, or cleaning your house and being present with your kids without having to worry about what you have on. And another thing I love about them - they have pockets!! Such a great design feature. I love a dress with pockets. So head on over to my instagram @chelseyhale to enter to win a $35 gift card to their shop so that you can get one of these fab house dresses for yourself.
