I’m Kelly. I’m half-Italian, half-Irish, and learning to conquer the temper and sarcasm that comes with that background, thank you very much.

I’m a madly-in-love wife who also happens to be business partners with my husband. Together, from the south suburbs of Chicago and on the road in our bus (he’s a gospel singer), we produce, pray for, sometimes bicker over the Branson Gospel Music Revival. On the side, I write and edit for Coastal Media Group. Oh yeah… and we’re the parents of four kids – 19, 17, 4, and 3.(two are my bonus kids, two are my miracles…)

Recently, Rod and I traveled to Colombia with Compassion International, for which we are artist advocates. To say it changed our lives is in no way an understatement. We’re sill figuring out how and how much! You can read about our trip here… often!

I love my great, big Italianish family, my varied and wonderful friends, being in my 30s, being a mama, movie dates, cooking, coffee, Mexican food, reading EVERYTHING I can, and writing every chance I get.

I love Jesus. Everything I do, have, am… is because of  Him!

I am perplexed by and in love with my life.
