Kelly Wymer – Admin Kiddos and Pups, mom, and wife
Hello! I am Kelly Wymer, and this is my blog. I decided to do this blog on a whim, like I do so many things in my life. It drives my poor hubby crazy, but I think it makes life fun! I grew up with a wonderful mom and terrific dad, and I have a younger sister and brother I love very much. My brother married an awesome girl, and they have a little girl and a son, both the same age as my kids. It is a blast when we get the two families together! My sister married an incredible man who is quite a bit older than she is. When it comes to family, I am the luckiest girl around. Even my grandparents, aunts, and uncles are amazing! I can honestly say that every member of my family has influenced me positively. I actually like my entire family! :)
Growing up, I moved around a bit. I was born outside of Chicago, moved to and from St. Louis and Kansas City twice each, and then, when I was 10 years old, I moved to New Jersey. I graduated high school there and then went to college at SUNY Cortland in upstate New York where I studied to become a science teacher. As soon as I graduated, I moved back to the midwest and started teaching. I was a science teacher for 15 years at a public school, private school, and online school. I was still teaching outside the home when I had my first two boys, so I had to do the daycare thing. While my daycare provider was awesome, I ached to be home with the kiddos. When I finally had my third son, we decided it would work if I taught from home instead of in a brick and mortar school, so I did. As times changed, so did online education, and it got harder and harder to keep up. I eventually had to leave online education, and education altogether. While I loved teaching, my kids and my family was always more important, and as the family grew, my time for teaching shrunk. I now stay home with my husband, four kids, and two wolf dogs here in Kansas. I have decided to blog because I always have so much to say about the kids, dogs, and our lives. I also love to write. I would like to someday bring in some income from my site to justify the time and energy spent on it, so you may see some ads or links or even a blogroll that includes these money-making opportunities. Hey, why not, right? Who couldn’t use a few extra bucks when raising four kids?
I hope you enjoy our experiences and adventures as much as we do! Feel free to comment as often as you wish. I look forward to getting to know you as well!

Just wanted to say great blog site. A facebook friend forwarded to me. I love to connect with mom’s that LOVE their job. Kids are so amazing, especially with the support of great mom’s like us.
I am sadly amazed every day to see what people feed their bodies and especially their children.
Look forward to some posts on nutrition.

Thank you! I love being a mom. Nothing compares to it. The joys way out number the trials and tribulations in my opinion. I have not thought too much about nutrition in regards to my blog. I might need to think about doing so. Thanks for the tip! What kinds of things are you looking for? I hope to see you around more.
Kelly,
I LOVE your blog! It’s so real and down to earth. When reading ‘stranded’, I couldn’t wait to get to the next paragraph. I knew a lot at happened because it was long. And what an ‘epic’ day you had. Can’t say that I envy you that adventure, though lol! They should make a sitcom about you and yours! And many congrates on being a featured blogger! You definitely deserve it! Have a blessed day!
Thank you!! I have to say, it was your comment that brought my attention to Bloggers front page. What an honor!
I am so glad you enjoy our stories. Stranded was about one of those days you you can’t believe actually happened to you. Have a great day!
..actuallyyyy, do you have a follow button? I’m not seeing it? haha
I do now! I have tried several widgets and plug-ins, but nothing worked really well, so this time I just went with simple and it works just fine.
The Follow button is now on the bottom right of your screen. Thanks and I look forward to connecting with you more!
Hey Kelly,found your site after our discussion on ‘poop’ on FB
You were so right, this word definitely gets you hits.
Jokes apart, I must say you have done a wonderful job with your blog and you seem to be a wonderful person too. Your kids the pup are adorable. If you haven’t started monetizing your blog, I suggest that you start soon. Wish you all the best Kelly, have a wonderful day!
Glad you found me! It is amazing what people find to be interesting, isn’t it?
I really appreciate your comments. I am trying to monetize it, but I am not having a whole lot of luck. I feel this may change really soon, though. Everything seems to be falling into place. I really enjoy doing this blog. I just hope others get as much out of it as I do. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great afternoon!
