About Me

About Me: Shelby Colette's family from Long Days, Short Seasons

Hi there, I’m Shelby! I’m a wife, mother, sister, and writer. I love dark chocolate peanut butter cups, traveling the world (in my pre-kids life), a good book, and my family–not in that order. Although…sometimes in that order.

Parenting is intense, amazing, and exhausting. It is life-giving-and life-taking all at once. It can fill us up and isolate us from the world we used to live in.  This is why I wanted to create a space where you could come and feel seen, find stories to lift you up and encourage you, and create a space where we all feel not quite so alone in parenting.

This blog is not about giving you the answers to all the questions that come with child-raising. I have no perfect answers. But I know we all have the experience of raising children. I hope you can find space here to help you survive these long days, short seasons in this beautiful, crazy life called parenthood.
