✨ About Me — Kelly's Story 📖🍷

✨ Who is Kelly? 💫

Hi, I'm Kelly — 36 years old, mother of two beautiful children 👦👧, full-time active in the chemical sector — logistics, documentation and customer experience — but at heart an eternal dreamer with a backpack on her back. 📚🌍✨

🌏 A life full of adventure

At 25, I did something many found crazy: I left everything behind and went 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 diligently, I set off with a good friend — whom I had met in Australia — on an unforgettable backpacking trip through Southeast Asia 🎒. Four months through 🇹🇭 Thailand, 🇰🇭 Cambodia, 🇻🇳 Vietnam, 🇱🇦 Laos, 🇮🇩 Bali, and 🇲🇾 Malaysia. Simply... magical. ✨🌺

Back in Belgium, the travel bug kept itching. Three years later, I left again — this time for 🇨🇺 Cuba. And there, everything changed. 🌴💫

🌹 A fairy tale in Cuba

At my second stop, I met him. 💕 A man who had never left his own village, but without hesitation traveled with me for two weeks through his own beautiful country. Together we discovered Havana, Varadero, Cienfuegos, Trinidad with its romantic waterfall 💦, and Santiago de Cuba. He spoke no English, I no Spanish — but love has its own language. 😄❤️

Six months later, we got into a typical Cuban oldtimer 🚗💨 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's 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, personal library at home. 🏡📚 Surrounded by books, candles 🕯️, and silence.

I can completely lose myself in a book. Pressing pause on the outside world and completely immersing myself in another story — that's pure luxury for me. 💫 The same goes for scrapbooking: once I start, it's suddenly midnight 🌙. Memories are sacred to me. Not boring photo albums, but real works of art full of glued-in 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 read again, I scrapbook, I journal, I took a calligraphy workshop 🖋️, and I color 🎨. And it feels like coming home. 🏡💛

This website is my creative outlet and my way of giving 🎁. 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 🌹
