About Rachel

Hey there!  My name is Rachel and I’m a 30-something living in Kansas City.  I’m a teacher turned stay at home mama to my two sweet boys and my baby girl.  I’m a lover of all things DIY, home decor, and making your house into a home of your dreams, without breaking the bank. It’s not have how much you have or how much you spend, it’s about putting YOU into your spaces.

I choose crazy early workout sessions because I’m a firm believer that your whole day is formed by how you spend your first hour so you might as well make it a positive one!  I try to follow that up with putting healthy food into my body, but occasionally Chic-Fil-A has a way of sneaking in!

I’m full of faith and believe that there is a higher reason for all that we experience through life.  Bumps and bruises in life make relationships stronger when they need them and help guide your mind to a healthier place for a reason we don’t even realize yet.

I’ve been married to my sweet hubby, Mr. Kemper, for 9 years now.  Isn’t he cute?

We are so blessed to have hands-down the two cutest little boys and little girl that ever existed.  Like ever. 🙂  Jackson Cruz is 7 and Colton Jay is 5 and Mya Marguerite is 2. 

I mean, come on!!

I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Kansas City about 12 years ago for a wonderful teaching position.  While I miss the classroom, being blessed to stay home with my littles and watch them take on this world is the best job I could ever ask for – no question!

Growing Up Kemper is a lifestyle blog that chronicles our simple, yet beautiful life, as well as some tips for how to make each moment as a mama, a wife, a general woman in this world maybe just a little more fun!
