this lovely chaos

because settling down is a whole new adventure

And another blog is born!

July 30, 2015

I read somewhere recently that blogging is dying off – that people are opting for other forms of social media to get their daily fix of whatever it is that they want to know more about.  Well that just figures. I’m always late to the party! Just as I finally get around to starting my own blog – an idea I’ve toyed with and dismissed repeatedly for several years for several reasons – the blogging universe is getting ready to pack it in and call it a day? Read more

Well hey there! I'm Kelly - a teacher, author, wife, and mama. Also: a highly-sensitive person and wellness junkie, slightly obsessed with stationery supplies and anything to do with organizing. I've had a lot of adventures in my life, but none compare to the wild ride of 'settling down'. Join me here as I share my stories and seek connection with like-minded folks.

Rockin’ my socks for World Down Syndrome Day 🫶 #teachersofinstagram #worlddownsyndromeday #rockyoursocks #seetheability
Learned a few things on my family’s March Break Learned a few things on my family’s March Break trip to Mexico…

1. Turns out children don’t suddenly morph into adventurous foodies just because they deplane in another country. 
2. Finished a novel in a day and then had to resort to audiobooks. Not a horrible thing, but not nearly as satisfying as holding a paperback. (Anyone else? Or is that just a me thing?)
3. Top of my list of favourite self-care habits is journalling. What on earth possessed me to leave home for a week without it???
4. So. Delicious. 
5. I don’t look at other women in their bathing suits and think mean things. What ever gave me the idea that they think mean things about how I look in my bathing suit?

What lessons did you learn from your Spring Break this year? ☀️

Thank you, Mexico! 7 days in your beautiful warmt Thank you, Mexico!

7 days in your beautiful warmth and light were so restorative for my tired bones. 

A lovely March Break with my sweet family, it has been 💕

Hoping all of my teacher friends are returning to the classroom feeling rested, refreshed, and ready to make the final few months of the school year awesome for their students!

I just couldn’t wait 3 more days to share the fi I just couldn’t wait 3 more days to share the final 3 puzzle pieces! Make sure to check out my profile page to see all the pieces together! I’m beyond thrilled with this design by the talented Rachel Ake - she captured the vibe I was hoping for and understood what I meant when I said I was aiming for a ‘Gordon Korman feel’.
