In-N-Out Poppy

Life with Poppy is never dull, especially on the weekends when we’re home.

Poppy: Please let me out. PleasePleasePlease. I wanna go outside and watch the birds so bad. I’m dying to go out. PleasePleasePlease let me out.

Me: Poppy, I know you want to go outside, but it’s really cold and windy. You know how scared you get when it’s windy.

Poppy: NOOOO.. I promise! I won’t get scared. Please. P L E A S E let me out.

Me: Okay..but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Five minutes later….

P:  OMG!!! It’s so windy! I hate the wind! Let me in! Please!!! OMG! Please let me in.

M:  You are such a dork. I told you so.

One minute later…

Plleeeaaassseee.. OMG I wanna go outside so bad.

Five minutes later…

PLEASE!!! OMG I’m begging you!!! Please let me in! Pllleeeeaaaaasssee!!!

Repeat this scenario approximately 147 times a day and you have a tiny glimpse into a typical day in the life of Poppy. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Happy Monday friends! Love, Kelly

    This is exactly what I deal with all day long!! It’s especially bad if it’s raining, because then we have to check and see if it’s still raining every couple of minutes!

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!
