Affordable Mom-Friendly Bathing Suits on Amazon

 I’m not going to lie, I don’t love the idea of having pictures of myself in bathing suits floating around the internet, but I do love helping other women find affordable bathing suits that they will feel great in. This June my baby will be a year old which means my body will hit a year of being postpartum just in time for bathing suit season.  Although I don’t mind the mom body I have been left with after having 2 kids, there are still certain areas I’d feel more comfortable keeping covered up.  Read more

Affordable Mom-Friendly Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are an important wardrobe staple that I don’t think should be ignored.  I love denim shorts, but I’ve always struggled finding the right pair.  So many denim shorts in stores are made for teenagers and I’m defiantly not looking for the same fit of denim shorts I wore when I was younger.  I want something high waisted, not too short or too tight.  Something with distressing, but not too distressed.  I want one pair of denim shorts that I can wear with anything in my wardrobe.  I was thrilled that I was finally able to find that perfect pair of denim shorts.

How to Style a Spring Moto Jacket

by Katie Haller

Hi Friends!  I am pretty excited about todays outfit post.  With the weather finally warming up I’ve been trying to get more outfit photos done outside.  I take all my photos myself and it’s not always easy to find a spot I feel comfortable setting up my tripod and taking pictures in an outfit, but I’ve been scoping out a few places and testing them out.  It helps having Anna as my little assistant in her stroller.  She makes me feel a little more comfortable in front of the camera and always makes me smile.

Mom-Friendly Outfits Wearing White Jeans
Are you afraid to wear white?  As a mom, I totally get it!  I’m terrified of white.  I always spill something on myself whenever I wear white.  But I love white! Especially white jeans!  They just brighten up your whole outfit.  Even though I believe that white jeans are appropriate to wear year round, I really love to wear them in the spring. Read more

Hi Friends! Last week I felt like I needed a little break from blogging.  I don’t know why, but I was feeling a little overwhelmed.  Normally I get excited to start a new month and plan out all my blog content, but this month I just wasn’t feeling it.  I’ve had a lot on my mind and my blog just needed to not be one of the things I was focusing on.  Sometimes that’s just what I need.  A short break to reset.  This week I’m refocusing and planning out some new posts for the month, so I hope you enjoy what I have coming up in the next few weeks.  I’m just trying to take it one post at a time and not overwhelm myself.  Read more

March Instagram Round Up

March Instagram Round Up

Happy April!  I can’t believe that March has come and gone.  March in the Midwest is always a curve ball.  You never know if it will start warming up or if you will get a spring snow storm.  Luckily this March was a pleasant surprise weather wise.  I’m loving the warmer days and the sunshine!  We’ve been able to get out to the park more often which has been so nice with the kids.
