One thing I love more than anything is traveling.
I want to see the world. I want my kids to grow up taking vacations, visiting other cultures, and experiencing a ton of new things.
Here are some amazing photographs of some of my favorite places!
North Carolina, Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Chicago, and Disneyworld.
So here it is. Quick and easy.
I’m Kelly and I’m accessory obsessed! I love shoes, purses, scarves, sunglasses, and jewelry. If it’s an add-on to an outfit, I love it.
My main obsession (or fetish according to my husband) is sunglasses.
I can’t be without them. I must have a pair with me at all times. I even have an old pair I wear when swimming.
Here are just a few. I say a few but in my defense I rarely spend more than say $15 on sunglasses. Plus I’ve had most of these for over 10 years. Oh, and I actually just bought 5 new pairs and all were on clearance for $3 – $5.
So here are a couple faves….
I chose the word relax because it is almost like a foreign language to me.
I haven’t quite grasped the idea. I mean, I understand the definition of the word. I just can’t seem to turn off the to-do list that is in my head. This could be one thing that I will never master.
If you could sit down with my husband and ask him, he’d tell you that I’ve lightened up a little but I still have a hard time relaxing when I know there is so much to be done.
Here are a few things I do try to do during moments that I can turn my brain off.
1. Snuggle : I enjoy snuggling with my babies. Reading to them, playing with them, or teaching them several of the next few of my favorites.
3. Photograph : I love to head out just for the purpose of taking pictures. I enjoy walking around and finding something beautiful to capture.
2. Read : I love to read. It’s relaxing plus I almost always either learn something or am entertained.
3. Bake : My grandma started teaching me how to bake probably when I was three or four years old. We would make cookies or pies on a weekly basis.
4. Play : I love to play Words With Friends. This is another love that came from my grandma. We would play scrabble every single time I visited. She was so smart yet somehow I would win more often than not.
5. Exercise : This will sound crazy but I love to work out. I don’t always have the motivation to get it done but once I’m dressed and ready I’m good! I’m getting ready to start Insanity for the second time after losing a bit of weight (almost 35lbs. now).
These are all things I’ll be working on this year. I need more me time in my life.
Let’s be honest here. I am a much better wife and mom when I’ve had a little bit of alone relaxation time.
What do you like to do to relax?
So, what can I say.
I come from a sarcastic, witty, funny, and fun-loving family.
Between N & I, most of our comebacks are movie or television show quotes. We’re rather sarcastic, oh, say 85% of the time. It’s part of the reason I fell in love with him. He makes me laugh in a way that no one else does. He knows just what to say at the right time to make me laugh. It’s amazing.
Of course, I can bring it right back to him. We could probably have an entire conversation using only quotes from our favorite movies and shows.
A few of my favorites from a certain show:
Check this out if you are a Friends fan! Some of the funniest parts!
Please tell me I’m not the only one! What is your favorite quote (doesn’t have to be from Friends)? If it is from Friends I’ll give you 100 extra points, though!
I’m not sure I need a post about this one!
I’m in love with photography.
It all started in high school when I took a class at the college I was attending. I know that sounds weird but I took courses at a college for high school credit in high school. It wasn’t digital photography but I still fell in love.
Then once the first little one came along, I fell in love once again. First, with my sweet bundle then once again with those memories that are captured in a photograph.
I have a wonderfully, beautiful friend that is helping me tweak and learn some things so I can start my own studio. I’ve been pretty much ready but need to just jump in.
Yes, I know, just do it. I’ve been told by many!! It’s a bit nerve-wracking to just jump right into a new business.
Well. It’s happening.
I have the name all picked out. A few final details and it will be official. I won’t be able to quit my day job right now while my husband finishes school but at least it will be in place. We’ll start out slow and go from there.
I don’t post pictures of my kids faces or pictures of my clients on the blog. Those of course are my favorites but I’m just not willing to post them here. Trust me when I tell you that I have the cutest kids you’ve ever seen!
I’ll leave you with a few faves! You can also click on the picture to read the original post.
