Just Because

Because sometimes you need to change things up.2013 02 10_9016web

Because sometimes a mom needs to mother.  2013 02 09_9062web2013 02 09_9051web

Because friends make life better.2013 02 09_9057web2013 02 09_9069web

Because just about all of life’s biggest problems can be solved with chocolate and a good glass of red wine.

Because laughter is the best medicine.2013 02 09_9058web

And sometimes just because.

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!
