welcome to ‘simply love’
today, i am joining the blogtember challenge with bailey jean of love bailey jean blog
and the prompt is to introduce yourself
…
(ps: yes, this is my second post today! i also posted about some beach tips with a baby)
i hope to join in on this challenge as much as i can this month
meeting new bloggers and building a community is one of my favorite parts about this journey.
also, thank you all so much for the love about my ‘new look’ around here.
i really appreciate all of your kind words.
hello! i am nelle…
life is precious- so i blog.
a very warm welcome to my little space here. i love the beauty in life. i am inspired by people, books, scandanavian decor, cafes, florals, photos, color, and living the most healthy life possible. i thrive in the thick of love and understanding the massive human impact each one of us most definitely has on one another. i light up and live in my truest passion when surrounded by people or when on i am on my yoga mat. i often feel like i was born in the wrong era (the 1940’s are always calling my name!) and am attracted to anything
vintage. simply love.
i am a bird,
finding my wings,
learning to fly.
i will jump out of the nest,
expand my wings
fold my wings
and spread my wings.
i may fall many times
but i will take a risk
i will try to fly.
and when i get better, stronger
i will soar higher than the birds
i will ride on the winds
i will dance with the clouds
i will go over the rain
i will fly whether day or night
until i touch the sky.
within me, i know it’s a dream,
but it doesn’t seem so.
someday i will fly
very very high,
because i will try.
learning to fly.
i will jump out of the nest,
expand my wings
fold my wings
and spread my wings.
i may fall many times

i will try to fly.

i will fly whether day or night

someday i will fly
very very high,
because i will try.
a little over three years ago, i married the love of my life
a gentle and kind soul
then on january 15, 2016, my lifelong dream of becoming a mom came true as we welcomed our son, parks james into the world… and i have never been happier
i love to plan and curate small, intimate gatherings with loved ones 
i enjoy celebrating motherhood, family, and just how beautiful life is!
twenty-four weeks along with our baby boy | at a wedding in cincinnati
exploring new cities, coffee shops, and food are also passions of mine
our home, our nest is a sacred space that i love to decorate – always striving for a cozy, organized, and personable atmosphere. her name is willow and i love to share home updates with my readers 
thank you so much for following along
i am so glad you are here

I love this post! I agree on so many things. The 1940s though, seriously. And all things vintage and Scandinavian. YES. I keep thinking that maybe if I have enough vintage things in my house, I'll actually forget it's 2016 😉

The love of color, all things vintage, yoga, blogging … the passion for people and embracing the beauty of everyday life! That's me too : ) Sounds like we're soul sisters!
