What’s In Your Closet?

January 26, 2014 by Katie Haller

Last weekend I said the phrase that all women say from time to time, “I have nothing to wear”. At that moment I had a strong urge to go shopping. Instead of a shopping trip, I decided to give my closet a second chance. I thought that I would set a challenge for myself. In order to appreciate the clothes that I already own, I decided that this past week, I would put together a new outfit, with old clothes, every day and wear them to work. That’s just what I did.

Married to a Pilot

January 18, 2014 by Katie Haller

Being married to a pilot is a different lifestyle than most marriages. I didn’t know anything at all about aviation or the pilot industry before I met my husband. All I knew was that pilots had free airline travel, which I thought sounded pretty great. What I have learned is that there is so much more to the career than anyone else would understand.

Pineapple Avocado Salsa Salmon

Lately, I’ve been in the mood for salmon. I love salmon! There are so many different ways that you can make a salmon dish. Ever since we got rid of cable, I’ve been watching a lot of cooking shows on the local stations. I am obsessed with the Live Well Network. There is this one cooking show I really like, called Mexico: One Plate At A Time. Rick Bayless is the host of the show. He is always making the most delicious looking Mexican dishes. I’ve been watching him make all kinds of salsas. I love unique salsas, with different flavors. I wanted to somehow combine my salmon and salsa craving, so that’s when I headed to Pinterest for some inspiration. That’s where I got the idea to make Salmon with a Pineapple Avocado Salsa.

My Closet~ What I Wore Wednesday

January 10, 2014 by Katie Haller

I know I’m a day late on posting my outfit, but I’ve been super busy this past week. I haven’t posted an outfit on Wednesday in a couple weeks, because it was New Years Day last week and Christmas the week before, but I do want to continue to post one every week. It challenges me to find new outfits in my closet every week. It’s not always easy to find old clothes and make them into a new outfit, but that’s my goal in order to stay thrifty.

Getting Back into Cooking

January 4, 2014 by Katie Haller

Ever since I got married, one thing that I really enjoy doing is cooking. I love putting a meal together for my husband and I. Before him, I was not much of a cook. Mac and Cheese were about the most I ever cooked. Now that I have someone to cook for I love it! Lately, I have been slacking on cooking. I have been working such long hours. I’ve been going through drive-thrus and ordering pizzas on my way home from work. My body can’t take it anymore! One of my New Year resolutions is to start making time for things, and cooking is one of those things I would like to make time for.

Shopping Finds~ LC Lauren Conrad

I always get excited when I find a great deal, so I have to share my findings. I usually like to try to hold off until after Christmas to do most of my shopping for myself, but sometimes there are such great deals you can’t pass them up.
