catching up

i know i’ve been a little MIA this week.  sometimes life is just like that.  may is a busy month around here.  but these past few days have been filled with lots of good stuff.  here’s a glimpse.

so much goodness in the garden this time of year.

and we got to bring our sweet boy, riley, home on monday.  i am utterly amazed and astonished at his improvement.  he has almost full mobility in his back legs again.

the weather, although windy, has been warm and is conducive to lots of evening porch sitting.

and then today was an utterly delightful day spent with our families.  when it comes to mother’s, tripp and i are both incredibly blessed.

i missed my kelsey-girl, but she was close to my heart and with me in spirit.

    I’ve about decided that when your flowers see you coming with the camera they get in the perfect position with the perfect background and pose for you!! It doesn’t seem to work that way at my house!! All so beautiful and such a beautiful family!

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
