About Me

 

Hi, I’m Kelsey Kay Holmer — writer, educator, content creator, fashion lover, and proud Ohio native with a curious spirit and a heart for adventure. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I created this blog as a way to share my heart — the lessons, the laughs, the in-betweens — with anyone out there navigating life and looking for a bit of connection, purpose, or inspiration. Whether you’re here for lifestyle content, wellness reflections, fashion finds, game-day vibes, or just some real talk from a small-town girl with big dreams, I’m so glad you found your way here.

My Story

I grew up in the beautiful town of Sandusky, Ohio, where family values, kindness, and a love for learning were instilled in me from a young age. Education quickly became my passion — not just as a career but as a way of life. After earning my degree in Education with a reading endorsement from Ohio University, I dove headfirst into teaching, working with young students and helping them grow their confidence through literacy and learning.

In 2020, I completed my Master’s in Education, further fueling my commitment to lifelong learning and making a difference in the lives of others. I loved being in the classroom, building relationships with my students, and witnessing those magical moments when something clicked for them. But over time, I realized that my heart was calling me to explore another way to educate, connect, and uplift — through writing, storytelling, and creating a life beyond the classroom walls.

From Classroom to Creative Life

Shifting from teaching to blogging was both scary and exciting. It meant leaving behind a familiar path, but also embracing the freedom to explore the world, discover who I was outside of the classroom, and chase a life filled with creativity, new experiences, and growth. I use this platform to blend all the pieces of who I am — the educator, the writer, the explorer, the cheerleader (literally and metaphorically!), the woman constantly seeking beauty, balance, and gratitude.

You’ll find me sharing everything from personal development tips and mental wellness reflections to travel diaries, fashion favorites, eco-conscious living, and even the occasional behind-the-scenes peek into what it’s like dating an NFL player (hi, Lane 💚). Yes, life with a professional athlete brings its own kind of whirlwind, but at the core, I’m still just a girl who loves deep conversations, comfy sweaters, meaningful moments, and creating a life with intention.

A Few of My Favorite Things
  • My Sheepadoodle, Cabo, who is my shadow and favorite adventure buddy.
  • Long walks in nature, especially when the leaves are changing.
  • Traveling with friends and family, exploring new cities, and creating unforgettable memories.
  • Styling bold, fashion-forward looks that bring personality and edge — especially when it’s game day.
  • Country music, sunsets by the lake, and Sunday morning journaling.
  • For the football season, I’m an Eagles fan by love and by lifestyle!
  • Supporting mental health awareness and inclusive initiatives through organizations like the Eagles Autism Foundation and my own, The Little Lights Foundation — a project deeply close to my heart.
My Mission

More than anything, I hope this space feels like a deep breath where you’re reminded that you’re not alone, that your story matters, and that you’re allowed to show up exactly as you are. I believe in the power of kindness, authenticity, and showing up for yourself and others, even on the messy days.

My goal isn’t to portray a picture-perfect life — it’s to offer honest, uplifting content that helps you feel a little more connected to yourself and the world around you. Whether I’m writing about growth, grief, gratitude, or just a great outfit, I always want you to walk away from this blog feeling seen and encouraged.

Let’s Stay Connected

I’m so grateful you’re here, truly. Whether this is your first visit or your hundredth, thank you for spending a few minutes with me. If you want to follow along with my day-to-day life, you can find me on  Instagram or TikTok, where I share everything from my favorite products and wellness routines to travel snapshots and moments with Cabo.

Here’s to living with heart, loving boldly, and finding joy in the little things.

With love,

Kelsey
