MEET KATIE

Hey you guys! I’m just a working mama who loves anything pretty for my house, a good (easy) recipe, an outfit that feels as good as it looks and helpful tips and tricks to making life as a wife, mom, daughter, friend, employee… easier and more enjoyable. Come on in to my world and stay awhile!

Just a few more weeks.🤍 I can’t help but ref Just a few more weeks.🤍 I can’t help but reflect on this time last year, and how this year has looked so much different than I expected. And I’m not even referring to the pandemic... but specifically for our family. We thought we would be bringing home a baby in June. This time last year I was 10 weeks pregnant, feeling tired, nauseous and keeping the secret of a new baby on the way between only close friends and family. But God’s plans were different than mine. As I approach my due date, which is also the date (one year later) of my surgery from our miscarriage, I can’t help but be in awe of God’s provision and faithfulness. I say all of this to say, if you’re hurting right now, take heart dear friend. This is only part of your story. God sees the whole picture - trust Him. That doesn’t make the hurt disappear but it does give you hope for your future. His plans are good and He is faithful. Trust Him, His timing and His faithfulness over what you can see of your current circumstances. And shoot me a message if you need a friend to pray for you. I got you, girl. xo @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/31Qhz
Happy Monday! 🤍 This weekend I tackled all the Happy Monday! 🤍 This weekend I tackled all the kids closets - sorting and organizing clothes and doing tons of laundry (well, Kyle did the laundry 🤣) and getting baby boys stuff all ready to go. Oh and we cleaned out and organized our pantry and are building a unit for our mudroom closet.... 😅 #nesting is an understatement. 🤪 Is this normal?!? @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/31UQv
Starting a new tradition this Christmas as a famil Starting a new tradition this Christmas as a family and I can’t help but think it’s the perfect year to do it. Have you heard of @thegivingmanger? If you haven’t, it’s an “activity” where you read a book as a family, and then from December 1st - the 25th you find ways to serve for your neighbors, friends, family and each other. I love that it is teaching our girls to have hearts for others and to keep their eyes open for opportunities to serve them. Obviously with the limitations that we have this year we may have to get a little creative, but I still think this is such an important lesson and reminder for us all. ❤️ I checked and you can now order this kit on Amazon and it will arrive in just a few days (before 12/1)! Would love to hear if your family has done this in previous years and how you’ve liked it (or even creative ways you’ve served!) tell me below! 👇🏼 Linked it on my @liketoknow.it! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/31Qnt
There are beginning to be little corners of Christ There are beginning to be little corners of Christmas all over our house and I love it! Other than the playroom, so far I’ve been keeping it pretty neutral with greens, blacks & whites and cozy textures. 🤍 Remember when I was doing so well keeping up with #tidbittuesdaywithkatie 🙈 ya.. me too 🤣 well here is my tip (on a Wednesday night 🤷🏻‍♀️) - avoid sparkle when it comes to holiday stems and keep it as “natural” looking as possible! You will avoid the mess, be able to use the greenery after Christmas and can bring in the festive pops in other ways! Another tip - go bigger with vases and taller with stems than you think! Scale is everything! ✨ @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/31tPt #LTKunder100 #LTKstyletip #LTKholiday #LTKhome #LTKDECOR
It’s @kyleschlesser’s birthday and it’s abou It’s @kyleschlesser’s birthday and it’s about to get mooshy. 🤍 (you’ve been warned 😂) More than ever before, I see all sides of Kyle. Being married, raising kids and owning a business together means we spend a *lot* of time together and juggle many roles. And even still, I have never respected, loved or enjoyed him more. He works harder than anyone I know, then comes home and pours every ounce of himself into our daughters.. only to go back to work after they are asleep. He is patient, loving, fun, consistent, gentle and strong. To know him is to love him! Happy birthday Kyle Steven! You are the real MVP and I can’t wait to see you raise our SON! 💙
Personally, I like to think I don’t “skip” t Personally, I like to think I don’t “skip” thanksgiving. I just prefer it to have a little more twinkle! Most years I refrain from pulling out my Christmas decor with red elements until after thanksgiving (this pic is from last November!) - and stick with the neutral colors until then (and wait on stockings, too!). How about you? Do you go full-on Christmas come November, a little bit of a mix like me or hold out until after Thanksgiving?! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/30VdN #merrythanksgiving #christmasdecor #mnhomes #thanksgivingdecor
When Audrey was born I decided to drop down to 4 d When Audrey was born I decided to drop down to 4 days a week at my corporate job, staying home on Mondays with my girls. (Which we have lovingly deemed #mondaymomdays). In this crazy, weird season I haven’t done as great of a job protecting our Monday’s together. I’ve spent many of them working and just attending to the girls needs versus spending intentional time with them. With only a handful of Mondays left just us girls, I’m going to be more intentional and put up more boundaries to prioritize them. Because in reality, the to-do list can wait. But time is not slowing and they are getting bigger every day 😭 (I mean do you see these pictures?! Where are my babies and who are these little girls?!) and the last thing I want to think after they are grown is that I wish I would have put them before my job(s). I think one of the most beautiful things about this bizarre year is that home and work have been blended more than ever before. Allowing us to be more present and involved parents than ever before. But it also has blurred boundaries. Maybe you’ve been great at it - or maybe you’ve been like me.. not doing the best job at setting boundaries and prioritizing intentional time with your littles or spouse. Well good news! It’s not too late to make some small changes that may have big, lasting impact. Start today, with me! Happy Monday friends. Make it one filled with purpose and joy. 🤍 @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/30GXr @eastoaksphotography #familyphotos #mnphotographer #mnmama
This year has been anything but normal. But today, This year has been anything but normal. But today, sitting outside in 70 degree weather belly laughing with some of my closest girlfriends, felt like one of the greatest gifts I could have been given - it was the medicine I didn’t know I needed.💙 so grateful for this baby boy and SO grateful for amazing, kind, supportive and hilarious girlfriends. 😭🙌🏼💙 Thank you so much @kirstenmprins @nikki.cady @henn8833 @bplaszcz @leslieaguillory @stalkmebarbie (and we missed you @k.hild @andreacolleen @kelseymillis @caitquinnjoyce and @rachaelallen)! Today was such a treat.
