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.

How to Wear White Sneakers

Who here knows the book Pete the Cat I love My White Shoes? I always think of the song that goes along with that book whenever I wear white shoes. 😂 White sneakers are always a must have mom-wardrobe staple for me. I love how classic they are and they go with pretty much anything.

Anna 9 Month Baby Update

March 15, 2021 by Katie Haller

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

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.

March 4, 2021 by Katie Haller

I can’t believe it’s finally March! We seem to be getting out of the winter and heading closer to spring each day, however, if you live in a cold place like the Midwest, it still will be some time until you can start wearing all those cute spring clothes. I try not to let the weather hold me back from dressing for the season. Just because it’s still cold out, doesn’t mean that I can’t bring some spring into my wardrobe. Read more

I feel like I keep seeing this dress everywhere on Instagram lately. Usually I’m not one to jump on the bandwagon and buy the same dress every other blogger is sharing, but I knew I wanted to buy this $20 Target dress when I first saw it. Target had a very similar dress last spring that I wanted to buy so bad. It was bump-friendly and nursing-friendly, but then the pandemic happened I put shopping on hold for the final months of my pregnancy and I never ended up buying the dress. When I saw they had a similar dress this season I knew I wanted it!Read more
