Mommy Friendly Work Out Gear

I recently got a new Iphone 5 and of course my armband that I use to run did not accommodate it. That would have been too easy! So after getting on Amazon and looking for the cheapest armband with the best reviews,  I ended up buying this ionic one in purple. It works great for the price and at first I wasn't happy about the plastic covering that covers the face of your phone, because it can make it hard to switch songs in the middle of a run or answer a call. Until I was running with Bailey (my golden retriever) the other day and a lady turned on her sprinklers right as I went by soaking me and my armband with my few days old Iphone 5 in it! Luckily because of the plastic screen shield my phone was safe and sound. So I defiantly recommend it especially if you run in the rain during winter.  

Cute sparkly Hello Kitty ear buds!

As I progressed in my pregnancy my back started to hurt durring runs and after. The heavier I get in the front the more it hurt. So again I turned to Amazon and found this! The Mini Cradle had great reviews and so I bought it to help with the pain. Now I cannot go on a run with out it I ordered a Small and am now at 25 weeks 140 pounds and still on the last (tightest) hook. Its so discrete you can also wear it under your clothes and maxi dresses for extra support even when you are not exercising! I love it!

Some cute minty Nike Free Runs. Even if they dont match your gear they are still so adorable!

My favorite thing to put on my face if I work out. Its basically a tinted moisturizer. I wear light medium. It evens out skin tone and moisturizes at the same time! It's not expensive at all and gives a healthy glow to the skin. This way I dont scare small children even though I'm just working out. :)

All of my shirts were getting too short due to my growing belly, so I ordered these off Forever 21 and OMG! They are the best for working out and also for just every day! They are long enough and still cute and flowy. I will be wearing these even after I'm not pregnant anymore!

A really cute lime color!

A cute team tank. I'm not even a Angels fan but I still bought this one and wear it with black workout capris and grey nikes. 

I've also continued my yoga practice through out my pregnancy. This mat is off amazon but TJ Max has really cute ones for only 7-10 bucks! I love the ones with designs on them (it gives me something to focus on while planking besides my basketball tummy) :) 

These cute yogi head bands are awesome! They are thick and hold back all the little stray hairs, while also looking cute!

Who says you can't TRY to look cute while exercising?

Baby B's Nursery

My little one sucking her thumb.

The crib I bought off Amazon as well as the baby bedding set. The night stand came from the thrift store and was $5. The lamp I was going to buy matched her set, but it was so expensive and not that cute. So I bought the white shade at WalMart. Then I got 3 yards of pink roses from the fabric section that matched the pink in her room and hot glued it around the top and base of the lamp shade. The base of the lamp was an old one I had from my last room that I got from Home Goods. When it was all done I liked it better than the one that matched the set and it was cheaper! The photo frame on the night stand with her sonogram picture in it is also from Hobby Lobby. 

Found this at Babies R Us.

I was going to pass on the hanging hearts, but then I had this odd empty space and didn't have anything to fill it. So I ordered them and they fill the hole perfectly!

Found the picture above her book case at Hobby Lobby on clearance for 10 bucks!

My grandmothers old antique dresser and mirror received a fresh coat of paint to match the other furniture, and it now lives in Brooklyn's room. (this is before I put the knobs on)  Flowers and bowl from Hobby Lobby.

Her chandelier is waiting on my brother in law to put up.

Her chandelier medallion came from Amazon. I painted it to match her walls and hot glued rhinestones to it for added sparkle!

This dresser came from the thrift store and was 15 bucks! Its was just natural wood so I painted it white to match the other furniture, and then went to Hobby Lobby and picked out these new knobs. They were around 3 dollars a piece. 

The 3D wall butterflies are from Target. They are $20 dollars for a pack.

I found this custom monogram print on etsy. It was $15. I then took a plain white frame and hot glued rhinestones all over it.  

The letters are from Michael's. I painted them white and hot glued the ribbion to them to hang them.

The dresser came from the thrift store too. It was natural wood so I painted it white and then painted the hardware antique silver. The rug is from ebay and was $70.

This is Brooklyn's pin board. I bought this at Hobby Lobby for around $35. It came just like this. (thank god one thing I didn't have to paint!)

I hope you like it and maybe this can give you some ideas for your own nursery! My advice is to go to the thrift store and buy all of your furniture because it's cheap and you can always paint them to match your rooms theme no matter what color they are! You can at least save some money that way because Im not gonna lie her room was expensive! I wasn't expecting it to cost as much as it did. But I love the way it turned out and am very happy with it!
