About Me

Hello! 

Welcome to my happy place, a sort of photo diary of everything I love most about life. It's such a pleasure to have you here, taking a peek at my family life, our home, my numerous creative outlets, and what inspires me every day. I hope you leave inspired too! 

A Bit About Me:

First of all, I am a wife and a mama to 4. I live in Green Bay, Wisconsin with my family and I love it here. I lived the first 15 years of my life in Johannesburg, South Africa, and my family emigrated in 1993. We lived in Tulsa, OK for my high school years and after I graduated, I joined a professional Christian dance company and toured with them for a little over 2 years. This experience was absolutely life changing for me and molded me to become the person I am today. I had the privilege to travel for missions work to China, Brazil, Peru, Russia, Thailand, England, Ireland, and Scotland. 

In 1999, I met my husband Phil at a coffee shop and 4 months later we were engaged! It was a whirlwind romance for sure! He is a Wisconsin boy and I was uprooted from the delicious warmth of the first 22 years of my life, to the now freezing cold of the past 15! But I have learned to be content despite the cold and to love this city and this life for everything it is. There is so much to be thankful for everyday and to love about this beautiful life. It's a very intentional journey every single day, and I live purposefully choosing to see the beauty instead of dwelling on the daily hardships. I am known to get starry eyed over fashion and interiors, to share my passion for creative living and my endeavors to celebrate motherhood and make every day beautiful. I'm all about those rose colored glasses. 

I love staying at home with my littles everyday but in addition to that, I have several other odd jobs that keep my creative side happy. Here's the list! Simply click on links to get more info:

I own a Christian dance studio called Celebration Dance. Click here for our website or email kirstyloug@gmail.com to sign up! 

I do professional photography - Kirsty Gungor Photography - and photograph newborns, children and families, seniors, couples, and weddings! Click here to see some of my work. 

I do freelance work for a local women's magazine called YOU Magazine, as a fashion contributor in the areas of styling, photography and writing. It's a dream come true for me to create in this way and to share my love of clothes and fashion with this city, so I love every minute of it. ;) Check out all my YOU magazine articles here. 

Every once in a while, I contribute to other fun opportunities in styling and hosting, often on local TV stations for seasonal fashion shows and other times with a friend and floral designer - Ebb and Flow Flowers - to offer floral community workshops. See our past workshops here or get in touch to be the first to know about our 2016 workshops!

Finally, we were so honored to be a part of Design Mom's How To Live With Kid's book! Our home was photographed and featured in one of my favorite coffee table reads, with a collection of some of the most extraordinarily beautiful family homes I've seen. Such an inspiring and well-organized handbook to decorating a kid-filled home. Take a look at our photos here!

Thank you for following along!
