Kelly VanBeek
Kelly is an aspiring free spirit, a metro-Atlanta native, and stay-at-home-mom to a mischievous 3-year-old and spirited 6-year-old. When she is not chasing her kiddos through Walt Disney World, you can find her running on a trail, scoping out local markets, cheering on the Atlanta Braves and Georgia Tech football, reading, writing, and sipping iced coffee. She lives with her husband of 11 years, her two daughters, and their fur-kids: two dogs named Molly and Jack and a cat named Caesar.
