Me and Ronnie About me

Meet Kelly

Hi, I’m Kelly Reci — the creative mind, coffee drinker, and early morning sunshine lover behind a little network of blogs that are all about making life easier, more fun, and way more creative.

I’ve been blogging for over 14 years, and along the way I’ve built spaces that reflect the things I love most: family, food, creativity, and connection. I’m a proud mom (my adult autistic son lives at home with me), a wife (my husband Rodney has been through an incredible recovery journey), and a pet parent to dogs, cats, and, most recently, chickens and ducks. 🐾🐓🦆 Let’s just say my mornings usually start with coffee in one hand and a fur or feathered friend at my feet.

I run a mix of blogs, each one dedicated to a little piece of life:

  • 🍴 Sweet and Savory Morsels for desserts, treats, and holiday food fun.
  • 🐾 Paw and Feather for pets—dogs, cats, and birds.
  • 📝 IEPmommy for special-needs parenting and autism advocacy.
  • 🎨 Teachable Printables for worksheets and kids’ learning activities.
  • 🌟 Eat Bake Create for recipes, baking tips, and crafts.
  • 💡 Kelly’s Thoughts on Things for lifestyle tips and inspiration.

I write in a way that feels like chatting with a friend, bubbly, casual, helpful, and a little quirky. You’ll find a mix of recipes, crafts, printables, and lifestyle posts all designed to give you ideas you can actually use. At the heart of everything I create is a simple goal: to help you make everyday life more joyful, creative, and stress-free.

When I’m not writing or designing, you’ll usually find me experimenting in the kitchen, curled up with a good book, planning my next trip, or figuring out how to keep my chickens from acting like tiny, feathered troublemakers.

This little blogging world has given me the chance to share what I love, connect with people who inspire me, and turn everyday chaos into something beautiful. And I’m so glad you’re here to be part of it. 💕
