✨ About Me — Kelly's Story 📖🍷
✨ Who is Kelly? 💫
Hi, I'm Kelly — 36 years old, a mom of two beautiful children 👦👧, working full-time in the chemical sector — logistics, documentation, and customer experience — but at heart, an eternal dreamer with a backpack on her shoulders. 📚🌍✨
🌏 A life full of adventure
At 25, I did something many thought was crazy: I left everything behind and moved to 🇦🇺 Australia for a year as an au pair. It was the best decision of my life. I met people from all over the world, discovered new perspectives, and realized that the world is much bigger and more beautiful than your own bubble. ✈️💛
After saving hard, I set off with a good friend — whom I had met in Australia — on an unforgettable backpacking trip through Southeast Asia 🎒. Four months traveling through 🇹🇭 Thailand, 🇰🇭 Cambodia, 🇻🇳 Vietnam, 🇱🇦 Laos, 🇮🇩 Bali, and 🇲🇾 Malaysia. Just... magical. ✨🌺

Back in Belgium, the travel bug kept itching. Three years later, I left again — this time for 🇨🇺 Cuba. And there, everything changed. 🌴💫
🌹 A fairytale in Cuba
At my second stop, I met him. 💕 A man who had never left his own village, yet didn't hesitate to spend two weeks traveling with me through his own beautiful country. Together, we discovered Havana, Varadero, Cienfuego, Trinidad with its romantic waterfall 💦, and Santiago de Cuba. He spoke no English, I spoke no Spanish — but love has its own language. 😄❤️
Six months later, we hopped into a typical Cuban vintage car 🚗💨 and got married. A year later, he moved to Belgium 🇧🇪. Now, eight years later, we are still happily married 💍. He has built a successful electrical business, and together we have two absolute treasures: our 5-year-old son — whose middle name is Amore, because he was our first love together ❤️ — and our 3-year-old daughter, whose middle name is Belle. And that is no coincidence either. 🌹✨

📖 Belle, books, and a big dream
Beauty and the Beast 🌹 has always been my favorite Disney story — and not just because Belle loves to read. My biggest dream? A large, warm library of my own at home. 🏡📚 Surrounded by books, candles 🕯️, and silence.
I can completely lose myself in a book. Pausing the world outside and getting fully absorbed in another story — that is pure luxury to me. 💫 The same goes for scrapbooking: once I start, it's suddenly midnight 🌙. Memories are sacred to me. No boring photo albums, but real works of art filled with pasted photos 📸, handwritten texts ✍️, and stickers. Each album a story in itself. 🌸
🎨 Creative, that's me
For years, life — work, children, busyness — pushed my creativity into the background. But recently, that passion has fully reawakened 🌸✨. I'm reading again, scrapbooking, journaling, I took a calligraphy workshop 🖋️, and I'm coloring 🎨. And it feels like coming home. 🏡💛
This website is my creative outlet and my way of giving back 🎁. Because nothing makes me happier than making others happy. I assemble these bundles with so much love and care 💕 — as if I were making them for my best friend.
Welcome to my world. 🍷📖✨
— Kelly 🌹
