Little Saturday Delights

One of the unexpected delights of my photography series has been taking a trip down memory lane (aka falling down the rabbit hole) with some of my older blog posts. Mixed in with the posts I shared about big life lessons I was learning or new insights into my photography practice, I also wrote a lot about my quotidian life, from the magical to the mundane.

Sidenote: Quotidian is one of my new favorite fancy words!

quo-?tid-?i-?an (adj)
1 : occurring every day
2a : belonging to each day : EVERYDAY
2b : COMMONPLACE, ORDINARY

Anyway, in honor of these old-school blog posts, today I thought I would share with you ten delightful things from this past Saturday.

  1. Bright sunshine on a cold morning.
  2. Drinking my coffee by the fireplace with Daisy snoozing nearby
  3. Feeling stronger in my weight training workouts
  4. The sound of my neighbor’s windchime
  5. The satisfied feeling after cleaning my house
  6. The smell of clean sheets and a freshly made bed
  7. An afternoon walk with Tripp and Daisy
  8. Tripp’s help with covering my rose bushes ahead of the hard freeze in the forecast
  9. Cutting a vase full of daffodils to bring inside
  10. Going to bed with a tired body and full heart.

I hope you enjoyed these little micro-stories about my Saturday, but even more than that, I hope this blog post encourages you to find the little delights in your own life.

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!
