It's amazing when you see the fruits of your labor pay off! I was at the press check last night for our launch issue of Home in the Northland and what I saw was incredible. As a northlander myself, I am so proud of this publication. Not only does it represent the beauty and sophistication of my friends and neighbors but it makes a statement to all of Kansas City. We are a warm friendly community with a ton to offer. I hope everyone in the city gets a chance to look our magazine and venture up north. The invitation is always there and we welcome everyone!
With that said, I'd like to give a huge thank you to all of the advertisers who joined our quest to give the northland a beautiful publication. Your confidence in our vision is so appreciated. And, speaking of appreciation, I got the nicest phone call today from Carol Meierotto. I love Carol and I have the utmost respect for her. She has an amazing store and a lot of wonderful people who work for her. She called me just to ask how everything was going and to tell me how happy she is about the redesign of the magazine. Carol is a strong believer in community and knows how much the northland needed a publication like ours. I really appreciated her vote of confidence, it made my day! Thank you Carol!
I am so lucky to have such great accounts like Meierotto's Fine Jewelery. I can honestly say that ALL of my accounts are really wonderful people!!! Over the years of being in the advertising industry I have meet a lot of great people and made a lot of great friends. I am truly blessed.
One quick note as I wrap things up. One of the exciting things we have changed with the new Home in the Northland Magazine is the way we distribute it. We have decided to pick 30 neighborhoods in the northland and door hang the magazine in a bag. This is an exciting change for us and we think this we benefit you the reader. I mean, I love getting free things delivered right to my door, don't you? We will continue to mail a portion of the issues but the bulk will be delivered right to your door for FREE!!!
To make sure you get a copy you can always subscribe for a small fee. Otherwise, all of our advertisers will have copies ready to hand out at there businesses.
The digital version of the magazine is already online so follow this link and check it out! http://www.homeinthenorthland.com/. One big plus about a digital magazine is that if you see an ad that you like and you want to visit that retailer's website all you have to do is click on their ad. If they do have a website you will be linked right to it! That is soooooo COOL!!!
Again, a big thank you to everyone who made this launch issue such a success! I am proud to be a northlander!

Hello Northlanders! Is there something in the water???

Hello Northlanders!
I just found out that four of my friends are pregnant! Wow! It must be in the water!!!! Well, for you wonderful parents out there who are expecting a new addition to your family, congratulations! Aren't we so lucky that we have a store like Lauren Alexandra to decorate our babies' rooms with. Not to mention, once your little bundle of love arrives....the clothes in the store are so cute, it would be a sin not to dress your little prince or princess up in style!
I had a chance to talk with Pam DiCapo, the owner of Lauren Alexandra, she is an amazing women. She has such incredible energy and talent. I know when my girls were little I visited her store in Brookside as often as I could get down there from the northland. Now, us northlanders, don't have to travel far at all. She has made it really convenient for us by opening her second store in Briarcliff Village. I LOVE IT! Everything is so adorable. I found tons of gifts for my expecting friends and I even found some things for my older girls! Jewelry!!! My daughters are really into cute earrings and necklaces and she has tons of really cute pieces!!! She even has rings that have words like "Nana" on them. That's what my girls call my mom so when mother's day rolls around I know what I'll be buying.
Make sure you stop into Lauren Alexandra and tell Pam hello!
And, while you are at Briarcliff Village stop into Design in the City! Mindy, the owner is a good friend of mine and she has impeccable taste. Her store is so chic! I love all of the beautiful things she has for the home. Plus, the clothes she has in there are so fabulous! I get more compliments on the dress I bought there. You will probably find her mom, Sharon, there as well, helping make the store beautiful. What a great mother daughter team!! They are such wonderful people! Make sure you make plans to check it out. I know you will find something you just can't live without!!!
Happy Shopping Northlanders!

My Birthday Dinner at Agave!
|
I love mexican food! It's been my favorite for as long as I can remember! We have a lot of good mexican restaurants here in Kansas City but only a few that I would say are my favorite! The one I would go to the most was a good 30 minute drive from my home here in the northland and I would go there at least once a week! Well, thank goodness I don't have to do that anymore! Now there's an incredibility delicious mexican restaurant right here in the northland, and it's only 5 minutes from my house!!!!!
It's called Agave, and it is officially my new favorite mexican restaurant! You will find them in the Parkville Commons Center right down from Nick and Jake's off 45 hwy. The food is amazing and the service is the best! Justin, the owner is always there to make sure you are enjoying the authentic food they serve you. To me, a test for a mexican restaurant is the salsa. If you don't like the salsa then there's a good chance you won't like the food either. Agave passed my litmus test, the salsa is fantastic and the food is even better.
I did dine there last night for my birthday dinner and it was such a treat! Even the friends my sweetie and I were with commented on how fresh everything is. And, the funny thing was, they had already eaten there for lunch earlier that day! Oops.. they didn't share that with me until we were already seated! LOL... Well, they weren't complaining, they love it almost as much as I do!!!!
Needless to say my birthday dinner was great! Thank you Agave and Justin! We are so lucky to have you in Parkville!

Home in the Northland Readers.....Spring is in the air....are you ready?

Thank goodness the weather is warming up! I know this is Kansas City and the weather is crazy but I'm ready to start wearing all of those cute spring clothes I am seeing in our Northland boutiques! And speaking of cute clothes......I have to brag about one of our models featured in our April/May issue! I just watched her last night on ABC's "The Bachelor" and she was wearing the dress from our fashion shoot!!!! That's right our hometown sweetheart Kari looks striking in her yellow dress on the show and in our photo shoot! Can't wait to show you all of the beautiful fashions that she is in!
I was just at Rio Salon & Spa in Parkville yesterday talking with Sonia the owner and I discovered that they are having an incredible sale on laser hair removal! Through the end of March you can take 50% off and their prices are already really affordable! Give them a call and check it out! I know what I am going to be doing with my tax refund money!!! This summer I want to be razor free and confident and Rio Salon is just the place to help me get there! Did I mention that Rio Day Spa and Salon did all the hair and make-up in our fashion shoot! They are amazing!!! Here's the link to their website....http://riosalonandspa.com/
The next time you are in Liberty stop in at Champagne Jewelers and check out their new line of rings and necklaces! They make them out of forks and beautiful stones. I wear mine almost everyday and I always have people stopping me asking me where I got it! Cindy is the owner and is wonderful to work with. Check out her website or give her a call at 816.415.9110!
