Affordable Green Dress for the Holidays

December 15, 2021 by Katie Haller

I wasn’t planning on sharing this dress in a blog post, but then I decided that it was just too good not to share as many times as I could. Just when I thought that I was done shopping for the year, I saw this dress at Old Navy and because I am loaded up with super cash I decided to grab it. (Super cash gets me every time! 😂) I love the dress because it’s very basic. On its own, it’s just a plain dress, but once you play around with it and add some layers and accessories it becomes this very cute fun little dress.

5 Holiday Wardrobe Staples

December 13, 2021 by Katie H.

This year as I sat down to write about my favorite holiday wardrobe essentials, I realized that I have already written the same exact post. I went back through my archives and realized that everything I wanted to share this year was the same thing I posted 2 years ago. So instead of writing the same exact post, I decided to update it and repost.

Small Shops Holiday Gift Guide

November 19, 2021 by Katie Haller

We all know that Black Friday is the big shopping day that falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, but the Saturday after Thanksgiving is Small Business Saturday. I always look forward to that day because it’s the best day to find deals at your favorite small shops in your community and online. I love to shop at small businesses because they offer unique gift ideas that other stores don’t have. Your purchases at small shops help keep these businesses thriving and giving back to the community.

Affordable Easter Basket Gift Ideas For Young Children

March 22, 2021 by Katie Haller

When I was a kid growing up in the ’80s and ’90s, my Easter basket was always filled with lots and lots of candy. We had jelly beans, chocolate eggs, Reese’s peanut butter eggs, Cadbury eggs, and of course a big chocolate bunny that usually took us about a month to eat. Occasionally we would get a little gift in the basket that wasn’t candy, but most years it was all about the sugar. I don’t have a problem with my kids having candy (except for the baby of course), but I do try to limit it when I can. That’s why when I put together my kid’s Easter baskets I try to do more non-candy gifts than candy.

Christmas Party Outfit Ideas

December 10, 2020 by Katie Haller

I have such mixed emotions about Christmas this year. Part of me is so excited to celebrate with my little family. It’s Anna’s first Christmas and Jack is super excited for Santa this year. I’m trying to create new memories and traditions for our family and I’m really excited about it, but then there is also a part of me that is very sad about Christmas this year. We usually spend the entire week of Christmas with our families and this year, because of the pandemic, we will be staying home. I know we will FaceTime with everyone and make the best of the holiday the same way we have all year long, but it’s just not the same. There are no parties, no family get-togethers, no meetups with friends, and no events worth dressing up for this Christmas. But that does not mean that I can’t put together a Christmas party outfit idea post, right? I still have a closet full of clothes just waiting to be worn. Besides, you can always pin these outfit ideas to your Pinterest boards for next year.Read more
