The Kelley Log

Jacket | Active Top | Leggings | Sneakers | Sunglasses   Happy Monday! Below are a few things that I’ve been eyeing! These are items on my wishlist that I think are worth sharing with you. I hope that you enjoy.  So I have a bad habit of peeling off my gel nail polish when it starts to chip. I’ve been looking for something long lasting that I can use in between manis. I love the CND brand for my professional manis so I’m really looking forward to trying their Long Wearing Polish .  A garment rack has been on my to get list for forever!

Keep my family the closest to me before anything- My husband and daughter are my world and I've learned that balance is key.  I am more than a stay at home home- The transition to becoming a stay at home  mom was not easy f...
