About Me
- Kelsey
- I am a 29 year old wife to Travis, mama to Aubrey (2) & Stella (newborn) & step-mom to Mason (11). I'm a stay at home mom and the director of a dance program in my community. I have a degree in advertising and once had dreams of becoming an art director for an ad agency in a major city. Life has a way of working itself out and I wouldn't change a thing. I'm a fan of taking chances, trying new recipes, relishing small details, being inspired by quotes & entertaining the loves of my life. I am passionate about all things creative & all things inspiring. I started blogging as a way to document my journey to become a runner and train for my first marathon. I now write about my series of steps through this journey called life.

what I'm loving
Fingerless gloves are so great. This pair was handknit by my sister-in-law Erika. The girl's got talent!
Meet the fam
Travis
Traivs is a CPA & avid outdoorsman who loves hunting, fishing, spearing and anything else that invloves a good challenge (I think that's why he picked me). He's a hands-on dad who loves his family. He's helpful, practical, smart, grounded, reliable and fun. He's a wonderful husband and I'm often reminded how lucky I am.
Mason
A fun-loving 6th grader who does exceptionally well in school especially in math and reading. He's an awesome big brother who lights up Aubrey's world when he enters the room. He's a great kid who is caring & considerate of others. He loves sports, the outdoors like his dad & just shot his first deer Thanksgiving weekend!
Aubrey
Our happy 2 year old who loves life and everyone in it. She's affectionate, loud, goofy, playful, & strong-willed. She loves music, dancing, books, kitties, making people laugh, helping mommy in the kitchen, & being outside with daddy. Her favorite part of the day is when he walks through the door. She adores her big brother and can never get enough of him. She is a proud big sister who loves to talk to Stella, pet her on the head to comfort her, laugh with her, and teach her things.
Stella
Our newest addition to the family. Born March 12, 2011 making us proud parents of two sweet little girls. Stella is a happy baby (now that she's outgrown her "fussy" stage). She knows what she wants and loves to be held, play with toys, roll around and play on the floor, make screaming noises, smile, laugh and reach and grab everything in sight. She also LOVES her big sister and thinks she is SO funny. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She's already trying to crawl!

Hey Kelsey! Thanks for visiting my blog! How fun to find another blogger with a baby at just about the same stage :) So...why do I run? I do it because it clears my mind, it gives me time to really think, it helps me not feel so guilty about my serious sweet tooth, and it helps me to feel ok about my body. I feel stronger and happier when I run. I'll be interested to see what you and anyone else says about why you/they run!
ReplyDeleteI run (or I should say RAN since it's been awhile and I need to start again!) for a few reasons: 1) be healthy, 2) shed a few lbs, 3) have some "me" time!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelsey, how is that sweet baby of yours??? I run for myself, to be inspired, to feel strong, to be a good roll model for my girls, to have a sense of accomplishment, to see how far i can push my body, to be healthy and to feel like my "OWN" person. I love running and i love the way it makes me feel . I feel like i need those endorphins to survive:) Why do yo run???
