• 32 today. 🎂 Mind is slightly blown because honestly I still feel like I’m 22, and yet somehow here we are and also all of these people belong to me?! 😭😍 Swipe over to see last year’s picture. 🥰 Oh how much can change in a year! One thing hasn’t changed: I’m feeling oh so loved and so very blessed! 💕
  • Iced coffee and day dates and sunshine. 🥰 Summer. I’m here for it. 🙌🏻 This was my first time trying @philzcoffee, and it was so good! Have you tried it? 👌🏻 We’ve been exploring our city a lot this summer, and it’s seriously been so fun finding new gems and seeing all Sacramento has to offer! We’ve both lived here our whole lives, and there’s still so much we haven’t seen or experienced. I don’t know where I’m going here, except to encourage you to explore your own city! You never know what you’ll find! Also, I’m learning to bloom where I’m planted. 🌻 It’s definitely something I’ve had to learn, but I’m embracing it. Wanderlust is beautiful, but so is enjoying where you are. ✨ http://liketk.it/2CSfg #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • Went on our very first date night without the baby (!!!) this weekend. It was so fun- we got coffee (at @templecoffee - one of our faves!), caught an art show at a new spot downtown which was so fun, enjoyed a beer (yes, you can drink while breastfeeding 😉), I rode a Jump bike for the first time (honestly I prefer my cruiser 😂🤷🏻‍♀️), I pumped in the car (#momlife) and we grabbed our favorite sushi. We stayed out wayyyy past our bedtime (10 pm! 😱lol) and I gotta be honest: it was really fun but I missed my babies SO much!!! It literally felt like a piece of me was missing, especially since Oliver has been extra needy and clingy lately. He really has been an extra limb! So. Super fun and important for our marriage (and sanity lol) but still hard at the same time. Ahhhh, motherhood. Forever contradicting itself. 💔🤪 #datenight #goodforthesoul || all outfit details linked in the free @liketoknow.it app! Follow me @ katie_did_what http://liketk.it/2COPu #liketkit
  • Summer babes. ☀️ Gotta love that splash pad life. We’re all pretty excited for these long sunny days. Zoom in on Oliver’s face: what do you think? Is he smiling or crying? 😂🤔 Crying because he’s too little to enjoy the sunshine and splash park with his big siblings, or smiling because we’ve got a fun promo to share with you! 🤗 #ad Spend $20 on your favorite @RawSugarLiving products to receive a $5 Gift Card at @Target ! I’m getting my skin #SummerReady with @rawsugarliving’s green tea + cucumber + aloe vera body wash and lotion for sensitive skin! Love that they’re cruelty free, and for every product that you purchase, Raw Sugar donates a fresh bar of soap to a family in need! 🙌🏻 Hurry, offer ends Saturday 6/28!

  • Holding him here, right by my heart. His favorite place to be. Mine too. 💗 All of my postpartum must haves are on the blog today- this was a labor of love!!!

Tag your expecting and new mama friends, and share YOUR postpartum must haves in the comments! #postpartum #oliverdidwhat
  • Twinning polka dots with my girl. ❤️🖤 Zack and I took Sophie on a special day date today while Sam was in school, and left the baby with my aunt, and it was so much fun and much needed- for all of us! 💕 She loved having a day with mommy and daddy that was focused on her! When Zack asked her who’s hand she wanted to hold, she said, “Mommy!!!” She hasn’t chosen me over him in so long (#daddysgirl but also because I usually have Oliver) and it just made me feel so special and also aware that we need to do this more often!! These one-on-one dates (with each kid) are definitely something we’re going to be intentional about doing. She was just so happy all day, and she didn’t even throw one tantrum! 🙌🏻 For this sassy spunky little firecracker of a 3 year old, that’s a new record! 😅😂 #loveher #twinsies http://liketk.it/2CIlW #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • 6 weeks with this sweet thing. And yes, it’s hot here, but babies in beanies are the best, so here we are. 😍 6 weeks and he just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter. And we’re starting to get some real smiles from him! Nothing better!! 🥰🤗 #6weeks #oliverdidwhat || lounger: @dockatot | footie: @modernburlap http://liketk.it/2CGLF #liketkit @liketoknow.it

About Moi

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

I’m Katie Michelle, a 31-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. And on 5/7/19 we welcomed our sweet boy Oliver Lucca, into this world.

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!
