Helping women love what they wear on a budget

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 🙂

Does anyone else still have a gingham button-down shirt still hanging in their closet? 👕 I still love this style! The easiest way to update this look is to switch out your jeans for a different silhouette.

Planning outfits for a cruises cruise can be so much fun and I can’t resist a good theme night! Each cruise is different, but these were the theme nights from my 3-night Royal Caribbean last year. 

Make sure you check your itinerary to see if your cruise has any theme nights planned!

What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! 

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕

And if you are looking for some mom outfit inspiration then comment OUTFITS and I will send you the shopping links to all my daily outfits from the week!! 🛍️
