    Looks like a great day to be off preparing a party for someone you love. Now if only you could get the critters to lend a paw…

    Oh me too, big 60th b-day party tomorrow night for one of my close friends (who is older than me I might add). I get to do the cake. Happy birthday to Tripp and I of course love your sweet dogs in that morning light.

    OOOOH! Sounds like a big celebration is underway. It’s just a shame that housework had to interfere with your photo fun … you were doing such a marvelous job!

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!
