Acclimating to Kansas City

“Daisy, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Oklahoma anymore.”

Winter weather found us in Kansas City last week!

And it made for a very cold, wet afternoon walk!

Sidenote 1: Is it weird that I’m seriously considering buying this adorable doggie coat for Daisy??

Sidenote 2: The real irony of this post is that it has been snowing all morning in Tulsa today. 

Anyway, we are all getting acclimated to life in KC – both literally and figuratively. Tripp has found the fastest route to work, and I’ve found the grocery store, Target, and Hobby Lobby. #priorities <<insert wink here>> I spend my days there walking Daisy and trying not to set off the smoke alarm with the electric stove. #olddog #newtricks

In all seriousness though, what I thought was going to be really hard has turned into something unexpectedly delightful. Feeling so grateful for that today.

Love, Kelly

    I’m not ready for Fall to end, but these pictures of snow falling while the leaves are still Fall-ish are kind of heavenly. So glad that you have found a way to make your OK-KS life work. My sister is entering the same phase as you. After a lifetime in their home, they may have to move due to a job change. I told her about your solution and they are seriously considering doing the same. The best of both worlds. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see more pics out and about in KC–we have a few friends who live near there, in Lawrence.

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!
