“ Savor every
moment, take
time for you, do
your best and
release the rest. ”
[ KELLYE LYNN ]
Kellye is mother who brings tremendous mommy wisdom to her work. We
were very impressed how she worked with our children to get the best out of
them. A few days after the shoot, I had contacted Kellye to brainstorm for
another student community project and she gave me excellent input and also
asked her children to substantiate her thoughts. She has a tough schedule
while balancing her family life, and she works hard to showcase children,
families and educational organizations through her work. When I read the
announcement for the Moms of the Year, she was the first person that came
to my mind. I think she deserves every bit of this recognition.

my priorities.

Describe a favorite
mom moment.

When my daughter was about three-
years-old and got lost in a crowd. Upon
being reunited with me, she confidently
stated, “Don’t worry, Mommy, God was
watching over me.”
