• Easter baskets. 🐰 💕 One of my favorite things to create, next to Christmas stockings! I love the little things, and these give the perfect opportunities to be thoughtful about those little things. I’ve shared baskets for toddler girl, toddler boy and baby! Some small shops, some you can easily grab from Target or Amazon. Something for everyone! I hope you enjoy! What do you love stuffing in your kids’ Easter baskets? 🌸 All sources linked in today’s blog post on katiedidwhat.com (link in bio!) ☺️ http://liketk.it/2AE4c #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • 31 weeks. 🌻 A little shocked at how fast that happened, but here we are! Current everyday happenings: nesting, talking to the kids about their baby brother, and trying to find shirts that still fit over this bump (or maybe I should just give up and tie them above it like so until delivery... 😂) Kicks are constant, as are Braxton Hicks (don’t remember having them with either of my other two pregnancies 😳) and I’m constantly out of breath. So if you talk to me, don’t worry. I didn’t just run a marathon. I probably just, like, stood up or something. 🤰🏻 My dress is non-maternity and on sale! Size up (pregnant or not!) Both the dress and my favorite everyday tee (which I’m about to order one size up) are linked in the free @liketoknow.it app! Follow katie_did_what 💕 http://liketk.it/2ADuf #liketkit
  • Soaking up these quiet afternoons, just me and her, before she’s no longer the baby. 😭 She skipped her nap today, and instead just wanted to hug the baby. She lay like this, in her new purple dress (her favorite color), and she kissed my belly and said “I love you little baby.” 😭🥰 Something I never ever want to forget. 💕 #31weeks http://liketk.it/2ABY8 #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • Trying to get in as many dates as possible before Baby #3 comes! 🤗 This was from the other day, spent exploring our city with my love. Had to get a bump pic in the cactus garden (if you're in Sacramento, this is at Capitol Park!)- it was too pretty not to! 😍 This tunic is so good- I've had it for years and it works with or without a bump! And my leggings are the infamous Amazon leggings that I HIGHLY recommend! Can't beat that price for the quality and comfort! Fit is true to size, but I sized up for the bump. #30weeks || Everything is linked at katiedidwhat.com/shop 💕 or follow katie_did_what in the free @liketoknow.it app! http://liketk.it/2AAxA #liketkit
  • This is the third trimester. ❤️ We’re in the home stretch, and I put together a blog post with my all-time maternity must-haves, the third time around, on katiedidwhat.com today! 🤰🏻 My favorite leggings, undies + bras, pregnancy books, stretch mark cream and more! Link in bio. Share your own maternity must-haves in the comments! 🙌🏻 Always on the lookout for more! || My two-piece set is also linked on the blog! So perfect for summer. 👌🏻 #maternity #30weeks
  • Feeling really lucky, today and every day. 💚☘️ And don’t let Sophie’s sweet smile fool you- she has been a wild one lately!!! The “threenager” is officially in the building. SO much sass and so many whirlwind emotions. Mama is looking forward to having a glass/bottle of wine in a few months. 🤪😂😬 #shecray #30weeks || outfits linked here: http://liketk.it/2Axsb #liketkit in the free @liketoknow.it app
  • We went to a friend’s 4th birthday party today, and it was one of those things that could have gone very poorly... with Sam, parties can be over-stimulating, chaotic, and end in a major meltdown. But we’ve decided we’re always going to TRY. Last year, we tried this exact location (a gymnastics gym) and it didn’t work, at all. Zack had to leave early with Sam. This year, we could have let the fear from the previous time cripple us. But we didn’t. We went for it. And guess what? He LOVED it!!! He literally had the best time! 😭🙌🏻 The noise, the other kids, the unfamiliar place- none of it mattered! He was a rockstar and had so much fun, beginning to end. I couldn’t be prouder of my little man! 🎉 Things like this remind me how important it really is for us to never give up, to never succumb to the fear of a disaster- to always know it’s possible (low expectations for the win!) but to always give Sam the benefit of the doubt. And it reminds us of just how far he’s come, in only one year. The noise didn’t bother him at ALL! He played with the other kids! He was so happy and in his element. And I’m just in awe. I’m so used to coming home from birthday parties with Sam feeling defeated and sad. Not today! And so, I’m taking it. I’m relishing in it. And I’m celebrating! 🙌🏻🥰 My sweet boy. I’m so proud of you! And Sophie too. 😉 #gosam #specialneedsparenting http://liketk.it/2AwGz #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKkids

A REALLY REALLY HARD DAY

By 8 Comments -- Paid Promotion. Disclosure policy here.

I wrote this on the car ride home from my mother-in-law’s birthday dinner on Saturday night. The whole day was just really tough with Sam. He was irritable, his frustration was high, he had random outbursts of anger and sadness- all things that come with the territory of “Autism” but that we haven’t seen in…

MY BOY

Deep breath. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever shared here, but I know this will help someone feel not alone- even just one person, as I have so often felt. Sharing, being open and vulnerable, it’s what makes us human, it’s what brings us together. It’s what makes these things a little less scary….
