Tips to Light your Winter Fire

If you have never used a wood burning fireplace, or it has been years since you have, please follow along for some helpful tips!

Time For A Wedding!

Mark and I are two weeks away from the wedding and it seems so surreal. We have been engaged for two years and it seems like it has flown by. As we get down to the final preparations, I realize more and more each day why I am making this lifelong commitment. He is seriously my best friend. He has been my rock for almost five years now. I have never known someone who gets me as much as Mark does. I am incredibly happy that we will be taking the next big step in our relationship in two weeks. For me, it cannot get here fast enough. Plus I can’t wait to show off my wedding dress and shoes, see all of our family from out of town and party with our college friends as we did three years ago. It is amazing how time flies.

Atlas Reborn……

My family and I have always been strong believers in rescue animals as opposed to breeders that just donate to the over population of pets. We have always had great luck rescuing dogs and this is another one of those stories. I have a 70 pound Czechoslovakian wolfdog named Skye. She is the ruler of our household but was getting lonely in the winter of 2009. We decided that she needed a friend. But Skye does not have a loving or accepting attitude toward other dogs. We knew this was going to be difficult but we were up to the challenge.

Trip to Park City, UT

My husband and I honeymooned in Park City, UT six years ago. The location was actually chosen by what resorts were available to exchange through Marriott. Mountains in the summertime quickly became my favorite place to be. The residents and vacationers are active and health-conscious. The outside invites you to spend time walking, biking and sight-seeing.

My Favorite Place to Shop

When you think of shopping, most people think of the Plaza,
Town Center, or the mall but my favorite place to shop is Westport. They have the best locally owned boutiques in
town, where you can find one of a kind items.
From jewelry to mp3 docks, they have it all in a very unique way.

At NGB (Nikki Grant’s Boutique) you can find extravagant feathered earrings and
Lady Gaga inspired sunglasses. You can
also find couture dresses that will be sure to be an eye-catcher that night!

At Bunker you can find the hottest headphones that make your jeweled iPod look
non-existent! You can also find unique
sneakers for all sexes and ages.

At Jubilee, you won’t fall short of any accessory you made need. From star-studded sunglasses to sterling
silver rings, they really do have it all to pull your outfit together. Whether you live in Kansas or Missouri, the
venture is well worth it to shop in Westport!

Football is Back!

After months of not knowing whether the 2011-2012 NFL season would start, relief came for fans last month that Football is Back! As a wife of a devout KC Chiefs fan, I am looking forward to Sundays with my home filled with friends, family and homemade chili. The sounds of cheers and boos alike truly ring in the fall season for my home.
Fantasy Football is also a strong tradition with my husband’s family. The boys gather from multiple states here in Kansas City to spend an evening drafting a hopeful strong team to bring home the big bucks in January with a “Fantasy Football Super Bowl” win. Magazines, laptops and food are spread throughout the room. Jokes and smack talk are shared to trip up the opponents’ team selections.
This year I will be hosting the gathering of the girls! We get together while the boys do their thing giving us an opportunity to visit and catch up. We drink wine, eat good food and play games. Living at Pointe Royal allows us all to meet in the same place. The boys will be in our townhome and we girls will be hanging out in the Guest Suite. The Guest Suite is a great place for our overflow guests to sleep and an excellent space for 6 ladies to spend the evening together.
The new season brings hopes for the KC Chiefs to do well and my husband’s team to earn us extra money at the start of 2012! Let’s see some Touchdowns!!

Go Chiefs,

Kelly
