Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Baby Girl is One!!!

June 18, 2021 by Katie Haller

My baby girl has turned one and I can’t believe how fast the year has gone.  I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this big milestone, but I am actually feeling really excited about having a one-year-old.  Knowing that Anna is my last baby has given me a sense of peace and contentment that I didn’t feel the first time around.  It has allowed me to really enjoy and take in every stage of this first year.  I’ve just loved watching her grow and become her own little person.

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.

Anna 9 Month Baby Update

March 15, 2021 by Katie Haller

Anna 9 Month Baby Update

Anna is 9 months!  It’s hard to believe how fast it’s going by.  I thought my first baby grew up way too fast, but I was wrong.  I feel like everything is going by so much faster the second time around.  It’s crazy to me how quickly things change from month to month when you have a baby.  She’s always doing something new.  Read more

My Must Have Breastfeeding Clothes

March 8, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

My Must Have Breastfeeding Clothes

I can’t believe I have an almost 9-month-old baby and I haven’t done a post yet on breastfeeding clothes.  Each day I remind myself that this breastfeeding experience is nearing the end.  With this being my last baby, I have some mixed emotions on letting go of breastfeeding.  I can tell I’m getting ready to be done.  I never planned on going past 12 months, so as she gets older I’m starting to do more bottles.  Even though I’m looking forward to getting my body completely back to myself, I’m sad to let it go.  It just reminds me that the baby stage goes by so fast and you really need to take it all in while you can.

7 Month Baby Update

January 17, 2021 by Katie Haller

*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.

Tomorrow is the first day of spring and according Tomorrow is the first day of spring and according to my 7-year-old we won’t need to wear boots or snow pants to school anymore. 🤣 I really hope he’s right because I am getting really sick of my winter clothes!

It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. wh It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. what I wore then” post. This week I am updating this pencil skirt outfit that I wore to work in 2014. There is nothing wrong with a classic black pencil skirt, but I am switching my pints from the top to the bottom with this printed pencil skirt. 

Can we also have a moment of silence for the big bubble necklaces. I loved my green bubble necklace. It always put a pop of color into any outfit, but I am kind of glad that we moved away from big statement necklace. They aren’t very easy to wear around little kids. 🤣 Instead of a statement necklace I added some color in with some statement bracelets.
