Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Simple Sunday- Michigan Trip

July 10, 2016 by Katie Haller

It’s been a long fun, but also an exhausting week for me.  I just came back from a visit to Michigan to see our family and introduce Jack to everyone.  Jack did great with traveling and meeting all the new faces.  Now that we are home, I’m trying to prepare to go back to work on Monday and get Jack back on the west coast time. (I don’t enjoy a 3am playtime.) 
I’ve been so behind on coming up with outfit posts, but I have been trying to post some looks on my Instagram.  I do have some new posts that I promise I will get around to posting soon, including some more maternity posts and mom tips.  I’m excited to share it soon!  In the meantime, here are some pictures of my week!

I just loved being with my little guy everyday.

Jack went to his first parade and loved it.

I learned that the things I miss most about Michigan are green trees and sunsets over the water.  I love living out west, it has a beauty of its own, but I will always love being in Michigan during the summertime.

I know it’s going to be hard to get back to normal life tomorrow, but today I’ll just enjoy my time with my baby boy!  Have a great week everyone!

Simple Sunday

May 17, 2015 by Katie Haller

To say that Sunday is my favorite day of the week would be an overstatement.  I’m more of a Friday kind of girl, but I do have to say that I love Sunday.  It’s the perfect day in the week to sit back and reflect on life and be grateful for all the blessings you have. 
Today, I’ve been relaxing and enjoying the very simple things in my life.  (I’m also avoiding the fact that I have a bunch of observations and checkpoints due at the end of the week and I’m doing anything possible to distract myself from that, but that’s beside the fact.) 
I’ve officially been living in Las Vegas for 3 months now and I have to say that I love it here!  I wasn’t sure what to think at first about moving to sin city, but it’s been a great experience.  Kevin and I are both really happy with our lives here.  Today I went to church, stopped at the grocery store and now I’m relaxing by the pool watching the palm trees blow in the breeze.  It doesn’t get much better than this.  I basically live the same life I did in Detroit, only now I have palm trees 🙂  I have to say that I can definitely see a future here.  It feels good to be settled for the moment and content with the life I have.

Here are just a couple pictures of why I love my new home. 

I love my Saturday morning walking route. The parks are so green here that I completely forget sometimes that I live in the middle of the desert.
There is nothing better than a pool surrounded by palm trees.

What’s your simple Sunday thought?

Simple Sunday

October 26, 2014 by Katie Haller

The point of my “Simple Sunday” post is to recognize the little things in your life that make you happy. I believe that contentment is the key to living a fulfilling life.  I love sharing the little things in my life that make me happy.
Kevin is home this week for a short time before he heads back to training in November.  It’s nice to have him home.  We were able to get back into our normal routine this weekend, which was nice.  Today we woke up bright and early to get to church at 8:00 am.  Why so early you ask?  Well, the Lions were playing in London today, and in order for us to go to church and watch football after (not my idea) we had to go to the 8:00 service.  I like to sleep in on the weekend, so I was not thrilled about this idea.  I ended up being okay with the early wake up when we got home and it was only 9:30 am.  I had the entire day ahead of me.  I decided I would get outside and enjoy this beautiful day, and that’s just what I did.
Today was the kind of day where I wished I was an artist, so I could capture the beauty of it all with paint on a canvas.  The sky was so blue and the colors of the trees were just glowing in the sun light.  My pictures below don’t do it justice.  I know that days like today are very few and far, so just taking an hour outside made my day.  What a perfect Sunday 🙂

Simple Sunday

September 28, 2014 by Katie Haller

I just ended the first week of being apart from my husband while he’s away at training. It hasn’t been easy for the two of us to be apart from one another for this long. This week has definitely been an adjustment for me. It’s been hard coming home to an empty house. The good news is I have a wonderful family that I have been able to spend a little extra one on one time with. 
The weather this weekend was absolutely gorgeous. The sun was out and you can see just a touch of orange in the trees. It was perfect. I was able to spend some time with my mom. We spent Saturday morning hiking through a park we used to go to when I was a kid. It was fun to rediscover an old place. It was the perfect way to brighten up my long lonely week.

Here are a few pictures from the walk

I hope you enjoyed my Simple Sunday. What was something simple from your week that made you smile?

Simple Sunday~The Big 3-0

September 8, 2014 by Katie Haller

Today I’m celebrating my 30th birthday. I officially feel old. I feel like any immaturity that I could get away with in my 20’s is over. However, I am super excited for my 30’s. I’ve accomplished everything I wanted in my 20’s and now it’s time to move on to a new decade with lots of new exciting adventures to look forward to. I can’t wait to see what my 30’s will bring.
30 candles. I’m surprised the smoke detectors didn’t go off.
