Derek was one of my best friends. He helped me grow into the person I am today. He was one of the only family members to write me while I served my mission. He always told me how proud he was of me. He went to every single BYU football game and always let me [...]
Author: consistently kylie
Hey, welcome to my website! I'm Kylie, and although I am not sure how you stumbled upon my little place on the internet, I'm so glad that you're here!
I created this website in hope of not only conquering my fears, anxieties and insane life mishaps, but to maybe inspire a few others along the way. I have struggled for 24 years in finding my voice and place in this world, but I finally am stepping out of my comfort zone to find out what makes me, well, me! Whether it's religion and God, home decor, nutrition and exercise, child development trips and tricks or even self reflection, I'm going on this journey and hope you will join me!

I had stretch marks before I was pregnant
I wanted to write this post years ago, before I even thought of having a baby, then I started writing it while I was pregnant, but i deleted it within that same hour. The truth is, I’m terrified of this subject. Mortified. Embarrassed. Annoyed. Saddened. The list goes on. Here’s the deal: instead of awkwardly [...]
It's Been a Hard Week
This week has been hard. This week has been SO FREAKING HARD. It has been hard for you, it has been hard for me. It has been hard for her and him and them. It has been a hard week for your neighbor, for the stranger at the grocery store, for people in Italy and [...]
Do Not Jump (off your swing).
Remember when you were a kid and the swing was the funnest part of the play ground? You and your friends would get on a swing and go as high as you possibly could, always trying to make it all the way around the swing-set or, in my family's case, touch the highest leaf on [...]
We’ve All Gone Through Something
Life is pretty decieving. When I was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints, someone once said to me, "I would have never guessed that you went through anything." Anything. He said anything. I think that everyone has gone through something. Something in their life that has impacted them so [...]
Sincerly, Anxiety
Hey buddy, I know, you probably don't feel like I'm your buddy. You probably don't even want me to be hanging around you. I’m like that strange kid in class who never stops talking and always seems to find you, even when you hide in the corner of the room. I can't help it though.. [...]
You Don’t Know Who I Am
A few weeks ago, someone hurt me really bad. Someone hit me right where it counts.. the heart. Right in the spot that controls my confidence, self-worth and even dignity. They hit me so hard that, without knowing, I was sent into a dark spiral of doubt, fear and devastation. I didn't know why, but [...]
Halloweenie
It’s 9:47 on Halloween night. I have spent the whole day pumping myself up about trick or treaters and passing out candy. I live in a town home and thought there would be a never ending flood of children running to our door. I couldn’t wait to see the costumes. I couldn’t wait to make [...]
1-10 :)
1. The warmth of my dog nuzzled in next to me as we fall asleep for the night. 2. A new can of paint. 3. Pipeline Punch Monster Energy Drinks 4. Watching the little girl I nanny skip out of preschool each day and tell me about her projects. 5. When Jordan brings me up [...]
It’s Okay to Be Okay
lately it seems like everyone has a mental health story that they want to share. and that’s fine. it’s great that the world has become so much more accepting of mental health issues. it’s great that therapy isn’t looked down upon as much as it was 10 years ago. it’s amazing that we can talk [...]
