Hi, i’m kelly.

I’m glad you are here. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and come join me on my year on purpose. We’re bringing peace & joy back into our homes and protecting what Christ died on the cross to give us. Family is so important and we want all God has for us. No more just surviving another busy, stressful day. We may not be able to change our circumstances but there are so many things that God has showed me over the last couple years to bring peace & joy into my own home. Peace & joy right in the middle of crazy, hectic days. Read my Year on Purpose blog for encouragement on how to bring peace & joy into your own home no matter what season of life you are in.
