Hello, Iโ€™m Kelly.

For years, I put off visiting my cousin because I couldnโ€™t find the time.  Finally, after becoming completely stressed out from a horrible commute, demanding job and lack of being able to do all the thing I really wanted to do, I went to see her in Montana. 

For the first time in years, I felt the stress leave my body and I was able just to breathe. The natural beauty of the area and wide, open spaces and the quaint slow-paced small towns transformed me for a few days, and I knew I wanted to feel that way forever.

I named my blog, โ€œMontana Happyโ€ so I would never forget the moment I knew that creating a comfortable life that nurtures body and soul was my new mission. Immediately, I started making changes to my life so I could recreate that amazing feeling everyday. Now, I work from home with my puppies at my feet and Iโ€™m on my way to creating a life I love.

While I donโ€™t live in Montana, I will never forget the impact visiting that beautiful state had on me.

The picture you see on this page was taken by me on my first visit to my cousinโ€™s house. (Are you relaxing just a bit..just by looking at it?)
