A Day in the Life: My Stay-At-Home-Mom Schedule

A Day in the Life: My Stay-At-Home-Mom Schedule

 What seems like a lifetime ago, I shared a blog post of what my day looked like as a working mom with a one-year-old (Post HERE).  It seems like so long ago now and so much has changed in my life that I wanted to share another day in the life post.  This time sharing my daily schedule as a stay-at-home-mom with a baby and a PreK kid.

Instagram Made Me Buy It! Are They Worth The Hype??

January 28, 2021 by Katie Haller

*This post contains affiliate links.

Have you ever been influenced to buy something because of Instagram?  I have!  Instagram has a big influence on me and what products I choose to buy.  I’ll admit, I’m a hard sell.  I don’t just go out and buy everything I see, but some things get hard to ignore.  That’s when I just need to try them out for myself.

Walmart Shoe Dupes

Affordable Walmart Shoe Dupes
*This post contains affiliate links.
 
 Let’s just start by saying, I’ve never met a Walmart shoe that I didn’t love.  It wasn’t until a few years ago when I was still teaching that I discovered my love for Walmart shoes.  I bought a couple pairs of flats to wear in my classroom.  They were under $10 and very cute, so I figured they would be perfect for work because I wouldn’t have to worry about ruining them.  Well, they ended up being much better than I had expected and now I’m completely hooked.  Walmart has become my go-to store when I want a cute popular style of shoe, but I don’t want to spend a lot of money. Read more

How to Wear Joggers And Still Feel Put Together

January 20, 2021 by Katie Haller

 Comfortable jogger outfits that still feel put together
Let’s be honest…How many days per week do you spend wearing sweat pants?  I wear them more than I would like to admit, but they are so comfortable.  Even when I was working full-time every day, the first thing I did when I came in the door from work was take off my pants and slide into a comfy pair of sweat pants.  I can not get enough of jogger sweat pants.  I like how they tapered at the ankle and I love a good high waist. I have several pairs of joggers because I just love them!Read more

7 Month Baby Update

January 17, 2021 by Katie Haller

7-month baby picture
*This post contains affiliate links
I was going to skip a 7-month update blog post and wait until 9 months, but I feel like Anna has met so many big milestones this month that I just can’t skip it.  We celebrated Anna’s first Christmas and her first New Year.  Now we are moving into 2021 and I’m so excited that I get to start a new year with her in it.
 Anna is officially on the move.  I knew it was going to happen soon enough.  She is army crawling everywhere!  If she sees something she wants, she will do whatever she needs to get to it and put it in her mouth.  She especially goes out of her way to crawl to our iPhones, the remote, and her brother’s toys.  She’s also popping out teeth like crazy.  She now has 4 teeth and 2 on the way!  I am a little caught off guard by all these teeth showing up.  I wasn’t expecting them so soon.  Luckily the first teeth didn’t seem to bother her too much, but this next set of teeth that are coming through have made her extra clingy.  Hopefully, she will get a break soon.

Maternity Outfits You Can Wear Before, During, and After Pregnancy

January 11, 2021 by Katie Haller

Maternity outfits that you can wear before, during and after your pregnancy

*This post contains affiliate links

I don’t know why, but maternity fashion is always overwhelming for most pregnant women.  I think that we tell ourselves that we are supposed to dress in a different way because we are pregnant and our bodies are growing.  We tell ourselves that we need to buy “maternity clothes”.  The truth is, when it comes to your maternity fashion, nothing needs to change.  You can wear the same outfits that you always wore before you were pregnant, and you can continue to wear those outfits long after your pregnancy.  All you need to do is invest in a few maternity pieces here and there (read more on what maternity clothes to buy HERE) to help fit over your growing belly, but overall, you should be able to get by with buying the bare minimum amount of maternity clothes.
