Hello Friends. Please, stay awhile!

The Bells

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.


The Mission, Always

Welcome

Hello Friends

Home - Family - Whimsy

Welcome to itsbellmade—a space for sharing, collaboration, and simply being. A place where stories unfold, connections are made, and life is embraced in all its messy, beautiful glory. itsbellmade is my passion project—part memoir, part manifesto, part collection of moments that make us who we are. For much of my life, I felt like an outsider—too loud, too big, too much. Now, I know these are the very things that make me whole. We all have stories worth telling, stories that say to the world: We were here, and we truly LIVED.

Why "itsbellmade"? "Bell" is my married name—the name that may one day carry forward to our children, if that’s meant to be. But more than a name, itsbellmade represents both an individual and a unit. It stands for familiarity, for connection, for the stories we tell and the ones we’re still writing.

My goal is to leave as many footprints as I can—to share love and hardships, to inspire through words and images, to be honest in ways that are sometimes funny, sometimes raw, but always real.

Here, you’ll find transparency, patience, kindness, and just a bit of chaos—because life is all of those things and more.

So, welcome. Stay awhile.

Let’s tell our stories together.

Love & Marriage

We intend to live life, Not just to exist.
