No Chance of Success
Happy Monday, Lovelies! Good morning, I say at 1:03 PM. I literally just got up and got dressed. The mornings have been this way for me, I call it the winter funk. Emma drives herself to school now, so I have no reason to wake up early. So I’ve been staying up late and sleeping…

Gonna Build My Own Life.
Hey, everybody! First of all, I really want to thank everyone who visited my blog yesterday. The response was very overwhelming. I felt very loved. Your support was mind blowing. I appreciate each of you very much. I just really wanted to come back to blogging without any false pretenses of who I am. I…

Sometimes It’s Real Life
Good Morning! This morning I was working out in the garage and took a break to look at Instagram. My youngest and oldest daughters had posted on their stories about the fact that it is my middle daughter’s birthday today. I just looked at all the photos of the three of them together, and as…

A Very Small Thought.
Hello Lovelies! Well, when I said in my last blog post that things could be a whole lot worse, I’d like to say I NAILED IT! Things have actually gotten a whole lot worse. Just as we were coming together, we were blown apart as a country. We are in a place of totally division.…

Just Saying Hello
So, Here we are! All of us sitting at home becoming stir crazy! I’ve really had a great time watching everyone’s Instagram stories over the last several days. I feel like the majority of the world is losing their minds- in the best way we could possibly do it. I actually haven’t laughed this hard…

Christmas 2018
Hello! How excited are you for the Christmas holidays? I’m so excited, I can barely stand it! I have no idea why, because we don’t have any company coming this year, and Steve works Christmas morning, evening and New Year’s Eve, and day. I think it may be because we don’t have a house that…

My Diet Saga
So, over the last three years, I’ve really let my fitness go. I’ve been active because it’s hard not to be when you are renovating a house. Being really fit requires you to do more than carry heavy stuff and step up and down ladders. However, finding that motivation is always a trick. Steve is…

Hello! I’m Still Alive!

Perseverance
The last time I was at my women’s group one of the women looked at me and said, “There is something about you Kelley that I’ve noticed over all the years I’ve known you, and I tell other people this about you…” I got really nervous. I’m sure there are a lot of things people notice…

Tiny E- Aerial Artist
My third born baby girl is now thirteen years old. One of her friends asked her what her family nick-name was and she answered with, “Tiny E.” Her girlfriend looked her up and down and said, “Tiny?” You see, Emma is a tall 13 year old. She’s passed her two older sisters in the height…

Five Lessons I’ve Learned a Thousand Times.
Isn’t that the truth? I’m turning 52 this summer and after all these years there are still so many lessons I learn over and over again. I’m not totally convinced I will ever really learn them. The fact I know that, is even more disturbing. I own incredible knowledge, but I don’t utilize it. Visual…

Missing
I miss my people. On a regular basis, I miss my sisters, my brother, and their families. I miss my husband. I love and miss him terribly. I miss my daughter, Amanda. I miss sitting around the dinner table talking about school days and laughing about the crazy stories my children would tell me. I…
