Frosty Morning Magic

As a rule, we don’t get a lot of frost in my neck of the woods. Winter’s tend to be very dry here and with very low humidity.

But lately we’ve had some frosty mornings! Which of course is why, had you been walking by my house, you would have seen me in my pajama pants and winter coat, hunkered down over the piles of leaves in my front yard.

Geeking out at how the leaves look like they had been coated in super fine sugar crystals. And they way these crystals reflect the morning sun?

Well…it’s like nature’s very own version of twinkle lights.

Hello magic.

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!
