My Last Baby + Anna’s Newborn Photos

October 7, 2020 by Katie Haller

I knew going into my pregnancy with Anna that it would be my last. I always knew I only wanted 2 children. I had ideally wanted a boy and a girl, but I always said that I would be happy with whatever God gave me. Before we were married, Kevin and I talked about children. He wanted no less than 1, no more than 2. It was nice to know that we were both on the same page when it came to having a family. When we found out at our ultrasound with Anna that we were having a girl we were thrilled. A boy and a girl, it was what I had always wanted. We were told we had the million-dollar family. Read more

It’s been a while since I’ve rounded up my outfits and shared them in a blog post. The truth is, it’s been a while since I’ve loved all the outfits that I wore. It’s going on 4 months since I gave birth and I’m so happy that I am starting to feel like my old self again. My clothes are fitting and even though things aren’t exactly where I’d like them to be, I feel good in my clothes again and that’s what matters. I could probably go on and on about postpartum weight loss and fall clothes and how wearing a cute outfit makes my day, but today I’m going to try to make this post short and I’ll just get to the outfits for now.

4 Fall Trends to Try to Make You Feel More Stylish

September 30, 2020 by Katie Haller

Do you ever find a cute outfit you like on Pinterest or Instagram and think, I really love this look, but I could never pull it off? I know I do that all the time. I sometimes worry that I might be too old to wear something or it might look dumb on me. I think we all do that though. Lately, I’ve been trying to take more risks with my outfits. I’m not doing anything too crazy, just trying a few new styles to see how I like them. If it’s not for me, I don’t keep them, but what I’ve been finding out is that I am really loving the new fashion risks I’m trying out.

Babysense Video Monitor Review

September 28, 2020 by Katie Haller

As a parent, we are always concerned about the safety of our children, especially when they are babies. From the moment they are born we start to worry. When I brought my children home from the hospital, I didn’t want them to be far from me, especially at night. It was important for my babies to sleep close to me in those first few months so that I could be sure they were safe. I’d often find myself waking up in the middle of the night just to make sure that they were still breathing. With Jack, I kept him in our room until he was 3 months old, then moved him into his own room to his crib. His room was right next to our bedroom and I could hear him easily with the door opened. I never registered for a baby monitor, because at the time we had a little one-story condo and I didn’t have a need for it. The second-time-around with Anna, things are a little different.

I have never been a believer in the silly fashion rule that white can’t be worn after Labor Day. Why not? I believe that white is a year-round color, especially when it comes to a good pair of white jeans. I’ve styled white jeans in a couple previous posts (HERE and HERE), but I wanted to do an updated post of how I’m wearing my white jeans this fall.

After sharing your body with another human for 9 months, it’s only natural to want to get your body back after you have a baby. For me, I didn’t enjoy my pregnant body. I felt uncomfortable with it. There were definitely times when I looked at myself in awe of what my body could do, but most of the time I just wanted to get back to my old self. I’m much more comfortable with my postpartum body than I was with my pregnant body. It’s not perfect, but I feel like I’m headed in the right direction.
