Meet Kimberly

Hi! I'm Kimberly. I have an M.Ed and Ed.S in School Counseling and Guidance as well as Mental Health Counseling.

I started my blog in 2015 as a way to stay connected to other mothers after being diagnosed with a chronic illness. My goal for Growing Up Glad is to create a supportive community of mothers, living life mindfully, raising their daughters with gratitude, gladness, giving, glamour, and girl power! We love bringing you the latest in tween girl fashion and accessories as well as women's fashion, home and family lifestyle items.
