Kelly Glogovac
A St. Louis area transplant since 2006, Kelly now calls St. Charles home. Having spent her childhood moving around the Midwest and an adolescence in Orange County, California, she cringes anytime someone asks her what high school she went to because, well, it’s a long story how she got here from there (not really, but as an introvert, this type of life journey dialogue usually requires a two day recharge in solitude, and who has time for that? Because…mom life). When not working full time or hanging out with her husband and two kids, Kelly is jumping on the latest fitness bandwagon, eating ice cream, or going down the rabbit hole of reality TV news and following social media influencers.

Can You Ever Go Back To Life Before Babies?
When people say they don’t remember what life was like before they had kids, I assume they’re suffering from a form of amnesia.
Before having my daughter, I enjoyed impromptu after-work happy hours and considered...
