The Holidays in Bloom

My amaryllis bulb bloomed this past weekend.

I bought it a few weeks ago when Tripp and I were at Home Depot shopping for new net lights for our front flowerbed. While Tripp was debating the pros and cons of LED versus incandescent bulbs, I was trying to decide whether I wanted red or white amaryllis blooms.

Because I’m super helpful like that.

Anyway, after we got home, I planted the bulb according to the package directions. Within a couple of days, I noticed a pale green shoot coming up from the center. And over the course of the past few weeks, it has grown to almost two feet tall!

Amazing.

Having these gorgeous blooms in my kitchen is real treat this time of year. I hope they make you as happy as they make me!

Love, Kelly

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!
