\ud83c\udf3f About Me \u2014 Kimberly, the Heart Behind Adornology101<\/p>\n
Hi, I\u2019m Kimberly \u2014 creator of Adornology101, longtime maker, storyteller, mom of two teen boys, and a woman who believes that beauty isn\u2019t something we buy\u2026 it\u2019s something we create.<\/p>\n
Adornology101 was born from a simple idea:
\nLife becomes richer when we adorn the world around us \u2014 through creativity, nature, family, craftsmanship, and intentional living.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not an expert gardener, a celebrity crafter, or someone who has everything perfectly curated. I\u2019m a real woman with a full-time career, two active boys, a dog, sports tournaments every weekend, and a kitchen that always seems to need sweeping.<\/p>\n
But I still believe deeply in making life beautiful \u2014 in big ways and small ones.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s what you\u2019ll find here.
\n\ud83c\udf31 From Jewelry Maker to Garden Maker<\/p>\n
Before gardens and raised beds, my hands were always busy with something creative.<\/p>\n
I used to design jewelry and still love the slow, meditative rhythm of knotting pearls by hand. I\u2019m fascinated by stones, textures, craftsmanship \u2014 anything made with patience and intention.<\/p>\n
As my life shifted into motherhood and a demanding marketing career, creativity looked different for a while. But recently, something called me back to making things again. This time, the medium was living and green.<\/p>\n
So in 2024, I started my first organic fall garden.
\n13 rows, Texas sun, beginner mistakes, and so much joy.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s imperfect.
\nIt\u2019s honest.
\nAnd it has become one of the most grounding, beautiful parts of my life.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbb By Day: Director of Performance Marketing<\/p>\n
Outside the garden, I lead advertising for a national outdoor retail brand.
\nMy world is full of data, creativity, strategy, and the constant challenge of growing something \u2014 not unlike gardening.<\/p>\n
My career is busy, fulfilling, sometimes chaotic\u2026 and always evolving.
\nI share a bit of that here too \u2014 the working-mom juggle, the lessons learned, and the real behind-the-scenes of balancing ambition and motherhood.<\/p>\n
\ud83e\uddd2 Life with Two Teen Boys<\/p>\n
Raising two growing boys (and keeping up with their sports, schoolwork, personalities, and appetites) shapes so much of who I am today.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll see glimpses of:<\/p>\n
Teen boy life<\/p>\n
Mom lessons<\/p>\n
Family systems that keep us sane<\/p>\n
Real stories from the messy, funny, emotional world of raising young men<\/p>\n
No perfection.
\nJust honesty, growth, and grace.<\/p>\n

To inspire women \u2014 especially busy women \u2014 to slow down, create, grow, and adorn their lives with the things that bring meaning and beauty.<\/p>\n

\nYou don\u2019t need a picture-perfect garden.
\nYou don\u2019t need hours of free time.
