About Me


My name is Kari and this is my blog - welcome!  I live in Waterloo with my newly acquired husband and Miss Manola (our English Bulldog).

I was born and raised in the country, where stars and sunsets every night are not dimmed by city lights.  I loved living there; but now I love every minute of living in the city (my definition of what a city is probably what most refer to is 'suburbia'; Waterloo is a community of 500,000 people).

I started this blog in October 2011 just after I got married; I'm not sure what the focus will be, but hopefully over time there is a theme and you will enjoy reading it.

What Makes me Me...
I swear by my BlackBerry and my calendar to keep me organized.  I put everything in there; I'll be adding "post to blog" shortly!

I love country music, sports, fashion and a good deal...in a future life I'd like to be a country music star.

I have a love/hate relationship with the gym and running but it keeps me healthy so it's got to be done.

I've recently discovered how easy it is to DIY pretty much everything in my life; more on that later.

Sean (newly acquired husband) is my best friend and he understands me which is a good thing!

I love and support my family and friends because they are the best people in the world and I wouldn't be here without them. 

and finally; I am an Event Manager, so by nature I am a control freak.
