Hello, I am Kristin and since you are here I suppose you would like to know a little bit about me! I am 53, and have been married for 26 years to my sweet husband. We have a 22 year old daughter who is graduating from college this year, so that makes us empty nesters! We live in Canton, Georgia which is a suburb of Atlanta.
I’m an animal lover, so how fitting that I married a Veterinarian! Over the years, we have had many fur babies and our current family includes three dogs. Sophie is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and she is 11.
Daisy is my 2 year old Standard Poodle, who likes to photo bomb. Poodles are very special to me, and I can’t imagine life without one.
Molly is our most recent rescue, and she charmed my husband in an instant. She needed a home and we were happy to add her to our family.
Blogging History
I am not entirely new to blogging. In 2018 I started my first blog and I learned so much along the way. I felt like I needed to go in a slightly different direction, so I decided to create The Scarlet Lily in June of 2020.
I am a Christian, so I view the world from a biblical perspective. In Matthew 6: 25-34 Jesus is speaking about worry. As someone who struggles with worry and anxiety, these verses are dear to me.
In verse 28, He makes reference to the lilies of the field and how beautiful they are. We are reminded that if God clothes the grass of the field, then how much more He must care for us!
The lilies of the field spoken of in these verses were actually red poppy-like flowers. They were prevalent in that area of the country at the time. Considering the Lilies reminds us to trust in God’s providence. You and I have great worth and value to our creator. That is why I chose the name “The Scarlet Lily” for my blog.
My goal here is to keep blooming in midlife, and I want to encourage other women to do the same. Always remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made!
