About Me

I would rather be called weird than boring. I judge myself harshly but see the best in those around me.  I love being with people but am comfortable with my own company. I’m NEVER bored. I am Kelly.

My Children

my children

My children are my heroes and I love getting to know who they are. They are all different, and so very precious. This blog isn’t really about my children but they do feature a lot. They inspire me, constantly.

my children all

Flossie (10):

She’s brave, energetic, kind, creative, and likes to giggle.

Scottie (8):

She’s helpful, self-reliant, winsome, sweet and has the most adorable one-sided dimple.

Cossie (6):

She’s dramatic, cheeky, expressive, funny and sings all day long.

Son (4):

He’s sensitive, logical, a doer, affectionate and is obsessed with things that move.

My Husband

my husband

This man is my childhood sweetheart. I call him Matthew, Matty and sometimes, Blu.  We are opposite in almost every way but we have found ways to work as a team — and we do it well if we let our strengths and weaknesses meet in the right places.

While he is task orientated, I’m goal orientated. I do things quickly. He does them s–l–o–w–l–y and methodically. I breathe creativity. He’s scientific and logical. He’s a nerd. I’m a dreamer. So yes: we do bicker by but we laugh everyday and I still get giddy when his brown eyes sparkle into mine.

Where I live

I’ve lived in many places in Australia since I married (10 places up to date).  I am currently living in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. As a family, we love exploring as much as we can.

Our Family

Our mission as a family is to be amazing in the moments we have and to delight in all the wonders that are in them.
