About Us

Welcome to Thinking Out Cloud, a little corner of the internet where family, life, and everything in between come together.

I am Elly, and this is our story.

I created this blog years ago as a place to share my passion for writing, travel, photography, and life’s most cherished moments. What started as a personal journal has grown into something much bigger, a reflection of who we are as a family and everything we are building together.

I have been married to my best friend, Chris, since June 1998. Together we have three wonderful sons, Joshua, Isaque, and Gabriel, and one very loved dog named Kal. They are my whole world and the reason behind everything I do.

Life has not always been easy. I have faced serious health challenges that tested me in ways I never expected. Those experiences taught me resilience, deepened my empathy, and gave me a perspective on life that I carry with me every single day.

Outside of writing, I am an analytical thinker who finds joy in a great cup of coffee, culinary adventures, and exploring new destinations. I love travel, photography, social media, and connecting with people from all walks of life.

In April 2026, Chris and I took a leap of faith and launched C.E. & Sons Construction LLC, a family-owned general contractor based in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts. It has been one of the most exciting chapters of our lives, and you will find that journey documented here, too.

This blog has always been about real life. The beautiful moments, the hard ones, and everything in between. Thank you for being here and being part of our story.

Built on Family. Built to Last. 💙

Elly and Chris
