I’m looking for a new green juice powder that doesn’t taste gross. How does the Organifi green juice taste?
Honestly, the green juice tastes very mild to me and not like a disgusting typical green juice. It doesn’t have an over the top flavor and really just tastes like water to me. Very easy to get 8 oz down first thing in the morning before heading straight for coffee 🙂 Use code: CHAMPAGNE to get 15% off your Organifi order.
Heather- what camera system do you use in the kid’s bedrooms?
We use the Arlo system and we love it. After our first son was born, we had your typical baby monitor.. but it eventually crapped out and we also just didn’t feel the need to have a monitor on all night. Our boys are all really good sleepers and if they were to wake up and cry and need us, I’d hear them (my husband on the other hand….). But we still like to have cameras in each of their rooms and their play room so we can see them if we want to. Arlo is truly meant as a home security system so it’s multi-purpose. There is an app on my phone and I am able to log in at any point (whether I’m home or not) and see their rooms real time. So even if I’m not home and let’s say a sitter is with the boys, I can check in while I’m at dinner and see if they’re asleep, etc. And then in the middle of the night if one of them is crying, I can check it and see if I really need to go in or not. If you want to use it as a true baby monitor, you set up motion detection on it to get an alert on your phone (we turned this off because our boys move a lot in their sleep). But it does have that capability for peace of mind.
What high chair do you recommend? Any other baby must haves right now?
Alix passed down her Skip Hop high chair to me and while I love it, I think it was recalled lol.. so it’s a death trap and luckily we’re all still alive 😉 Honestly, I think splurging on an expensive high chair is really freaking stupid. Kids destroy those things with spaghetti and sticky shit. Like, why would you spend over $200 on something like this?!?! Never. Stick to something simple and chic and under $100. Love this one too! As for other must haves, we’re really out of the baby stage and into that insane toddler phase where he just wants to chuck cars, trains and planes across the room 😉
Alix- what are your thoughts on Daily Harvest oat or chia bowls?
I have never tried them personally, so cannot speak to take. We are ZERO freezer space, so I’ve had to stop ordering DH. Anyways, I reviewed the nutrition facts on the chia bowls and I’m impressed TBH. They have a great amount of fat (20-25) I know that seems like a lot, but honestly it’s not and will keep you full and satisfied throughout your morning. They also have a good amount of fiber, no added sugar, and moderate carbs, decent protein. Definitely a good option for a quick breakfast. If you don’t feel full after I would suggest adding more protein…you could mix in a scoop of Vital Proteins or other protein powder. The oat bowls appear to have higher carbs (makes sense), but most have added sugars and lower protein, lower fat, and lower fiber- boo! They are still a fine breakfast choice, but you might find that you need to add in some protein, fat, and fiber to feel full. The worst is being hungry like 30 minutes after eating a meal. So add some protein powder, nuts/seeds, ground flax or chia, coconut oil/butter and hearty it up a bit so your full throughout the morning 😉
Can you link the budget friendly boots you shared on stories earlier this week?! Really looking for all price ranges when it comes to boots and fashion!
Can you link your favorite layering tops/henleys?
Hands down my favorites are from Aerie! Their long sleeve and tank versions are the best in my opinion. Also, sharing this half zip sherpa just as an extra because it’s really cute and on sale!
Can you link some cute holiday jammies for kids? I feel like I should buy some now before they sell out!
I got Quinn this pair (come in a bunch of different patterns, but I got her the pink candy canes) and this pair. I also love these, these and these. I also just got Quinn these star jammies, which aren’t holiday, but so cute, cozy, and cheap!
Can you link the lunch box and the colorful cups you use in Quinn’s lunch?
This is the bento box I use (comes in different designs) and I add in these silicone cups to help organize the food in the container better and also can add extra things in the bigger section.
I’m looking to buy a few new kitchen gadgets and curious if either of you have an instapot or magic bullet? Worth it?
Neither of us have an instapot, mostly because we both love and use our crock pots. We’ve heard amazing things about the instapot and especially for working moms short on time to make dinner. Alix had the magic bullet and loved, but got the Vitamix and stopped using it so gave it to Heather. She loves it for making smoothies!
xx, H&A
