About Me

Kelsey Smith was the name I took the day I made the best decision of my life, marrying my best friend.  Mama was the name I took when I had my two most favorite humans, Wyatt and Colette (also known as Coco).  By day, I’m home with my littles, running my photography business (KLP), geeking out over essential oils (YLEO) or promoting safer beauty (beautycounter). By night, I’m asleep because my days make me tired! I’m an true ambivert, meaning I fall smack dab in the middle of an introvert and extrovert. I love a good metaphor, a deep conversation, a feed full of gorgeous photos, finding adorable and affordable fashion, battling out motherhood in the trenches with other moms and finding meaning in this wild and crazy life.

My desire for this blog is to make it like coffee (or happy hour) with your bestie. Sometimes you talk fashion, favorite stores, recommendations about your favorite products. Other times you talk struggles of the heart, parenting and marriage. It will be refreshingly real.  So grab a cup with a beverage of your choice (no judgment here!) and settle in!

My lifestyle is motherhood. Follow along with me as I stumble, stride and laugh my way through this crazy ride!
