Hello world welcome to Kelly Bain Blog!
Hi I’m Kelly! Welcome to the new Kelly Bain Blog! I am so excited you stopped by. Thanks for coming over to check out why I started this new adventure and all the fun content coming your way.
I can’t wait to share more about myself and reasons why behind I started this little “day in the life” site. As a mama of two little ones my life revolves around being a parent, feeding my family, non stop laundry, trying to squeeze in self-care, and millions of other things that go along with Motherhood.
First about me, I am a wife and mom to two little ladies. My oldest started Kindergarten last week (virtually thanks to Covid 19) and I stay home with our 2 year old. I worked in the corporate world for 11 years and recently had the opportunity to stay home with my kiddos. I also have a side business, a newborn and family portrait photography business. We also have two pups who add the madness of our house. My hands are full most days.
Before 2020 I was running around doing daycare drop off and pick ups, squeezing in grocery runs after bedtimes, and trying to enjoy weekends while still doing the laundry and house chores. I’ve loved following other Mama bloggers who are supportive and share lessons of what they’ve learned along their motherhood journey. They are uplifting and inspiring.
BOOM then 2020 hit us like a wrecking ball. In the past I’ve taken online blogging courses here there with hopes of getting my site off the ground during any downtime I had. (haha which we know as a new mom that doesn’t exist). Since quarantine I’ve had more time at home, photo sessions have slowed down, and now that my kids are older they are able to entertain each other (AMEN) so it’s now or never to finally get this blog off the ground! I’ve been busy building this site (it’s the DIYer in me). I’ve had help with tempelates off Etsy, lots of time researching on Pinterest, and following along and soaking up all the help from IG coaches.
Through growing my following on IG I’ve learned that when I share my simple parenting tips and tricks, kids activities, staying organized, kitchen shortcuts, or any other random life hack I get a huge response. Other mamas appreciate that I am in the same boat as them. Hopefully what worked for my family can help their’s. More posts to come with all these helpful tips. I hope lots of Mamas can revisit them over and over.
As a stay at home mama in these uncertain times I have learned how to “#ball on a budget”. Date nights out have been traded for meal prepping and making sure to use up all the leftovers. Amazon has been one of my favorites for home decor, beauty and fashion and random things the kiddos may need. I love shopping a good sale and always using my Target RedCard for that 5% discount! Any products I use and love I plan on sharing with a review!
Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait for the upcoming content on my favorites things, motherhood, food, home projects, and fashion/beauty. Hopefully some of the topics I share will help you and your family. I can’t wait to see where our journey together will take us!
If there is anything specific you’d like to hear about or more of please let me know! I’d love to connect and chat. Please reach out and let’s become besties š Comment below or send me a message (contact me page).
XOXO, Kelly
