Meet Kelly
As the founder and mom behind Hugalongs, Kelly is more than just an expert; she's a mom who's been through the ups and downs of parenthood, crafting solutions out of real-life necessity. With a diverse background in psychology, behavioral science, and law, Kelly knows the inner workings of human behavior and how to stay mentally fit in the face of life's challenges.
Kelly's journey led her to create the first Papap Pony Wearable Adventure Buddy, inspired by her childhood as a junior Olympic horseback rider and her young daughter's input. After struggling through the pandemic Kelly was shocked at how her family's well-being was affected. This is when she dived into researching ways to support families through this new reality and incorporating these findings into her children's products. Witnessing the incredible results in her own daughters' social and emotional well-being, she developed Hugalongs – mental fitness parenting tools for families to help with the new challenges they now face.
I invite you to join our adventure, discover the secrets of mental fitness parenting, and build a strong foundation for life with Hugalongs. Because every day is an opportunity to take the reins and thrive.
Take the path to the life you want for your family.
We can show you how.
