• 36 week check up, with little miss sass in tow! 💕 Everything looks great- Baby is head down, has a strong heartbeat (love hearing it, it gets me every time 🥰) and absolutely nothing is happening yet 😂 (no dilation, no effacement, he is high up there and snug as a bug!) 🤗 I’m feeling great and more energetic (go figure) and just trying to really enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy! 💕 #36weeks || This is the cutest kimono, and some of the best leggings ever- on sale for $24! 🙌🏻🎉 my whole outfit is linked at katiedidwhat.com/shop and here: http://liketk.it/2Bmwy #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • My sweet boy. Sometimes I wonder how much you understand about this baby coming into our family soon. I try to tell you there’s a baby in my tummy, and I point to my belly and sometimes you smile but mostly you just seemingly ignore me and go on your way. But the other day you came over and snuggled next to me, and you rested your little hand on my tummy and we just stayed there for so long, and my heart burst a little. You get it. You get so much more than we ever know. And I have no doubt you’ll be the best big brother, for the second time around. 🥰 I can’t wait. #lifewithautism || Matching family jammies linked here: http://liketk.it/2BleP #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • Happy Easter! ✝️💗 Next year there will be five of us to fit into our family selfie! 🥰 Pretty surreal to think about. Feeling super grateful today especially! http://liketk.it/2BjW6 #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • We’re at the stage in my pregnancy where I have a couple meltdowns a day over the fact that nothing fits right, so leggings and a tank, or a dress, and a kimono are going to be my uniform from here on out. ✌🏼 At least I’ve got a few new pretty ones to make me feel human. 🥰😂 #35weeks || I’ve linked them in my stories (saved in the AE/Aerie highlight!) and also linked my favorite leggings this pregnancy, and my favorite basic tanks in the @liketoknow.it app, follow katie_did_what! 💕 http://liketk.it/2BiIU #liketkit
  • Well, we did it! Dentist appointment for both kids this morning- their second ever. And you know what, with all the build-up and anxiety about going, they both surprised us and did amazing!!! I’m seriously so proud of them. No meltdowns, and they both actually opened their mouths (big improvement from last time!) 😂🙌🏻 Celebrating with Chik-fil-A and lollipops (naturally 😜) || I asked in my stories, but share here for everyone to see: what are your best tips for kids and the dentist? We talked it up, promised a treat for after, and made it not a big deal at all. The dentist and hygienist were amazing too and kept it casual and calm! 👌🏻 And they each got a toy afterward! || http://liketk.it/2Bh5b #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • Spring cleaning time! ✨ Who is here for it 🙋🏻‍♀️ and who wants to hide from it?! 🏃‍♀️ #ad I personally am here. For. It! Every year I get bit by the bug, and this year is no exception.

About Moi

By 74 Comments -- Paid Promotion. Disclosure policy here.

I’m Katie Michelle, a 30-year-old from (not always so) sunny California.  I lived in Paris my junior year of college, and will always have a place in my heart for it. Coincidentally, I ended up earning my Bachelor’s degree in French.  I have a huge passion for working out and eating well, and those endorphins have gotten me through a lot of hard times. I’m married to the kindest, most motivated man I know. His name is Zack and he handles a lot of the photography, SEO, design and financial aspects of this blog. He’s also a computer teacher at an elementary school, and all the kids love him. I don’t blame them.

We welcomed our own little boy, Samuel Zachary, on 4/11/14. At age 2 1/2 he was diagnosed with Autism. It’s a wild ride we’re on, but we trust in the hope that God provides. We welcomed our sweet baby girl, Sophie Michelle, on 1/14/16. She is all sass and personality plus! We are navigating life as parents- it’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.

I love Jesus and my faith, and have my mum (my very own guardian angel) to thank for that.  I try to live a healthy lifestyle, and enjoy feeding my body with good fuel. I love big hair and bright lights and pretty words. I enjoy kettle corn probably more than most things. I don’t take life too seriously, but I also don’t take it for granted. And I love love love, Love.

We have also created a couple of things to help other bloggers out. If you’re interested in starting your own blog, check out my How to Start a Lifestyle Blog post!

  3. Hi Katie!

    I love following you and your family and love you blog! You have inspired me and help me start my own blog this year so thank you for all your tips on how to start one up! I am really struggling at the moment because I feel stuck on the fact that visual I am not loving on how my blog looks and don’t know how to fix it. Can you suggest on where I can find the help?

    Thank you!

    • Hi Michelle!

      I’m so happy to hear that I was an inspiration! Getting your blog perfectly designed is definitely challenging and can be one of the more frustrating things at the beginning. I recommend premium themes by Studiopress because of how easy they are to customize. That said, you might still have to learn a bit of coding or find someone to do it cheaply for you. My husband is my basically my designer, so unfortunately I don’t have any recommendations in that department. What I can tell you is that a lot of blog designers leave their own link at the very bottom of blogs that they work on. So to find designers, just visit a few blogs that you like and scroll to the very bottom. You’ll find a link on many blogs that will take you to a designer’s website. I hope that helps! Sorry this reply took so long, I also emailed it to you!
