ABOUT ME
I am a wife and stay-at-home Mom of Ben (6th grade) and Grace (4th grade).
I am Gail Keller, the publisher of Macaroni Kid JoCo. We relocated to Overland Park, KS 10 years ago. I left the world of international travel and corporate training to become a full-time, stay-at-home mom.

ABOUT ME
I love meeting parents and kids, entrepreneurs, business owners, and community groups who share my passion to make our community one of the best in the country!
