Haylie Duff is casually stylish in plaid coat as she drops by Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family

She’s a former child actress turned cookbook author and a mother of two.

And on Tuesday, Haylie Duff found time in her busy schedule to drop by the Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family studio.

The 35-year-old kept her look business casual for the appearance pairing a long black blouse and skinny black jeans with a plaid coat.

Haylie wore the blouse, that had a frilly neckline, untucked over her jeans and the sleeves of her mid-thigh length coat were rolled up at the cuff. 

She added a pair of pointed toe black leather heels and wore her long dirty blonde hair loose and styled with a center parting.

She accessorized with pendant earrings, a gold necklace and bracelets on each wrist.

Also on Monday, Haylie posted some sweet snaps to Instagram of her daughters Ryan, five, and Lou, two.

In one snap, Ryan is dressed up with a cat’s ears headband, a patterned top and white cardigan and red leggings tucked into red, green and white long stripy socks and black bovver boots.

Lou is wearing her pale pink pj’s and pink socks.

In the caption, Haylie explained: ‘Spirit week at Ryan’s pod! Sending an elf off this morning!’

In another snap, she and Lou are pictured about to kiss on the lips in front of a decorated Christmas tree.

‘Gimme all the Christmas smooches,’ Haylie posted.

She shares her daughters with her fiance Matt Rosenberg to whom she got engaged in April 2014.

Haylie’s younger sister Hilary Duff is currently pregnant with her third child, and her second with second husband Matthew Koma.

But, Haylie recently told UsWeekly, Hilary’s pregnancy isn’t making her broody.

‘I feel pretty content with two,’ she explained.
