Kari loves to write and take photos, not necessarily in that order. Her journey started in 2010 when she sat down to write a few words on a private blog. She pressed “public” a few weeks later and the rest is history. Kari loves making people laugh, being real, and spending time with her husband and two daughters. She also really loves her dog Buddy and fish Lucy. When she is not busy writing or going through the Starbucks drive thru, you can find her talking to her plants Zoe, Evie and Albert. She didn’t name Evie. Her nine year old did. But she's totally an Edna so that’s what Kari calls her when her nine year old isn’t home.

Winter has been particularly harsh here in Lake County so far and like many people, I am sure your kids are literally climbing the walls due to cabin fever. Even if your kids are school-age, […]
If you have a little artist at home, you know how important it is to find a class or studio near you to help them explore their creativity. Because let’s be honest, writing on the […]
In my forty plus years, I have yet to run into someone who doesn’t love donuts. There is just something about fried dough that people can resonate with. I have actually written about donuts over […]
I don’t know about you, but winter isn’t my favorite season. The weather, the short days and the cold make me sad, bloated and not a very nice person. So I try to find new […]
Are the kids back in school? Time to go through their old toys and donate the ones they don’t play with any more! For years I have done this after winter break because if your […]
