Mother’s Day is this weekend!

Have you been asking yourself what you really want for Mother’s Day this year? Or what your mom really wants? If you asked, I bet you 99% of moms would say:

• to be with family
• no whining for a day
• and maybe not having to pick up after their young kids all. day. long.

What do I want?

To Get Out and Active with Athleta Girl!

I want to get outside and spend quality time with my girls. One of our favorite things to do together is go hiking to a beautiful spot and picnicking once we find it. We’re planning on doing just that! Hiking is the perfect way to spend time together. There is plenty of time to talk and enjoy the world around you together. As a role model to my girls getting outside and being active is an important factor. When I want to get out and be active, they always want to join. There is no better way to advocate a healthy lifestyle than leading by example.

Athleta Girl is making it possible this year, with their coordinating activewear for girls and women. Twinning with your mini is always a good idea! Their latest collection is full of great pieces that are wearable and versatile for a number of activities.

Piper is wearing the Athleta Girl Printed Record Breaker 3″ Short and Athleta Girl Power Up Tee. I’m wearing the Contender Opal Capri in Powerlift, Contender Printed Bra, and Speedlight Tank. These styles are comfortable and perfect for our active lifestyle! Shop our looks HERE.

As a mom, of girls I’m in love with Athleta Girls’ motto:

“Before anything else, we’re girls.

Girls who jump high and shine bright.

Girls who dream crazy big.

Girls who learn that we can do everything we put our minds to.

Girls who would do anything for our friends, our squad, our tribe.

We’re bold, brilliant and a thousand times awesome.

We’ll grow up, but we’ll never grow out of it.”

 

We’re all for girl power. Raising girls is a big job, I want them to grow up confident and strong, and I know they will! Last night we were watching a show and Piper asked, “Mom, why are boys supposed to be stronger than girls? I don’t get it. Girls can do whatever they put their minds to. Right?” “Of course, they can! Always dream big. Always!”

Athleta and Athleta Girl inspire you to be the best version of yourself through their quality apparel. Head over to Athleta Girl to check out their newest collection of athletic wear.

 

Celebrate Mother’s Day on May 12 by getting outside with your family and doing something active! I bet you’ll enjoy it so much more than flowers and chocolates. Memories always make the best gifts!
