  • I have a lot of really important things to say about this photo👇🏻 . 1. Frozen blueberries > blueberries. You might remember a few weeks ago I asked for blueberry recipes because my freezer was full of them? Yea well, I’ve cooked none of them because I’m currently addicted to eating frozen blueberries by the cupful. . . 2. This Whitney English Day Planner is legit the best planner I’ve ever used. OBSESSED . . 3. One of my most FAQs is “where’d you get that Fitbit band?” The answer is Amazon and it’s pretty cheap. I’ll share the link to it in my stories . . 4. I’m mostly just posting this picture because I’m v self conscious about the fact that my last 9 Instagram pics are all of myself. Like, conceited much, Kallie? Post a flat lay already . . 5. Taking said flat lays is a lot harder pregnant. I mean, trying to take a flat lay while getting your hand/leg in the frame was basically yoga before but with a belly I was out of breath when I finished 😓 This belly is officially large enough that it has made it to “in the way” status. I can’t fit into non maternity things, yoga/stretching is increasingly confined, and don’t even bother asking me about getting in and out of small restaurant chairs. 🤰🏻But as inconveniently in the way as it is... truthfully, I love every second of it. . . There you have it. Bet you didn’t think I could have so much to say about a staged flat lay but here we are 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • AMAZON PRIME DAY IS HERE! Sharing all the best best best deals on my stories and on the blog (link in my bio)! Tons of stuff on major clearance in pretty much every department. Are you planning to get anything during #amazonprimeday ?
  • A little late but here’s a #25weeks #bumpdate - Everyone says that each pregnancy is very different. In that case, this one will definitely be marked by insomnia (I’m lucky if I get more than 2 hours most night 😴) What were/are some of you hardest pregnancy symptoms? #brancifortebaby . . . #inspiredpregnancy #pregnantbelly #pregnantandperfect #25weekspregnant #motherhoodmaternity
  • I'm celebrating #NationalFryDay the most pregnant way I know how....with @DunkinDonuts NEW #DonutFries! YEA, you heard me right. DONUT FRIES. Sugary-cinnamon sprinkled, warm, crispy, doughy, fries 😋😉 And I mean if that's not enough to convince you, how can you turn down a hot pink fry box? 😍🍩🍟 I might have bought 3 servings, just sayin' #DunkinSummer #ad
  • Ya’ll I love this little bump and the tiny little baby kicks I feel throughout the day. It’s honestly the most amazing, special experience I’ve ever gone through. That being said, pregnancy is definitely NOT all rainbows and butterflies. I’m breaking down some of these barriers in today’s blog post (link in my bio!) . . For those asking, this dress is c/o @shoppinkblush and the fabric and quality is amazing. Perfect for growing belly bumps. I’ll put a link to it in my stories (and save to my highlights under “shop.” #. #brancifortebaby . #shoppinkblush #prettyinpinkblush #bumpdate #pregnancystyle #inspiredpregnancy #pregnantandperfect #maternityfashion #25weeks #ctblogger
  • Do you love the summer heat or are you SO over it? Honestly this weather has me like 💁🏻‍♀️💃🏻❤️ I can’t get enough!! I’ll probably eat my words in a month or two when this baby belly is bigger and I’m sweating my booty off but for now I say bring on the sun. . . ALSO I’m loving this maternity dress c/o of @shoppinkblush - the material is super soft and nice and thick (I have such a pet peeve about thin fabrics ESPECIALLY now that I’m pregnant! A girl needs coverage.) #shoppinkblush #prettyinpinkblush . #25weekspregnant #25weeks #inspiredpregnancy #pregnantandperfect #maternityfashion #bumpdate #pregnancystyle
  • What are your favorite things to cook with blueberries because after berry picking with the family I have enough blueberries for a year.
  • Heat wave = copious amounts of ice cream and messy buns 💁🏻‍♀️ I’m sharing a super quick and easy tutorial on IGTV for how I wear a bandana in my hair, which (if not evident from my last three instas) is kinda my jam right now. If you haven’t used IGTV before you can just go to my Instagram profile and click the “IGTV” button on the left under my profile ❤️
