In honor of Dr. Seuss: My Ode to Wyoming Life
LINK TO OUR WEBSITE: www.wyolifestyle.com In honor of the amazing Dr. Seuss’ birthday today, I felt a little inspired to write a little poem about Wyoming. Now, I’m not a poet, and believe me, I know it… But I digress and will give my rhyming a rest. So if you don’t mind taking a moment or three, and reading my poem — this is Wyoming to me… My Ode to Wyoming Life — A Seuss-istic poem by Kati Hime Tell someone Wyoming is where you live And a wide-eyed stare back to you they will give Says the city-slicker back from the far coast “Say, isn’t a horse what you…

Caddie Shack Restaurant Casper WY, Life and Times of WLM, Wyoming Restaurants, Wyoming Travel and Tourism
Check Out the Caddie Shack
LINK TO OUR WEBSITE & READ THE CURRENT ISSUE: www.wyolifestyle.com Our Sister Publications: Wyovore — www.wyovore.com WYO XY — http://www.wyolifestyle.com/WYOXY/index.html Wyoming Weddings — www.wyoweddings.com When we were in Casper last Friday, we stopped in at one of Casper’s newest All-American restaurants…the Caddie Shack! Located at the Casper Municipal Golf Course, the restaurant also includes a bar area and a veranda that overlooks both Casper Mountain as well as the greens at the Muni. We opted for indoor seating since we had our kiddos in tow, and, well, it was late January. Summer, one of the restaurant’s owners, had promised me their burgers were an experience to be had, and WOW was…

SNEAK PEEK — COWBOYS VS. HUSKERS
Link back to our website & read our current issues, or find our distribution locations & a local vendor!: Wyoming Lifestyle Magazine: www.wyolifestyle.com Wyovore: www.wyovore.com We enjoyed a VERY busy (and exhausting!) day at the Wyoming Cowboys v. Nebraska Cornhusker game Saturday, September 24. The weather was BEAUTIFUL and the crowd was EXHILARATING. Levi and I served a little time as UW Cheerleaders ourselves, and we were excited to feel that rush of the crowd while on the field — sure brought back some great memories! (I also found my old uniform for sale at the cheerleaders’ fundraiser tent — I had to snag it before it was gone forever!)…

LIFE AND TIMES OF WLM: On the Road Again…
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE & SEE THE NEWEST ISSUE: www.wyolifestyle.com Hitting the pavement with Levi in Cody… The weekend after Memorial Day Weekend Levi and I hit the road for a big distribution trip. We hit a wide variety of towns on our trip: Shoshoni, Worland, Thermopolis, Greybull, Cody, Riverton, Lander, Dubois, Jackson (and Wilson and Teton Village) and Pinedale. WHEW! It was so much fun — we fight over who gets to do distribution, because it’s the best part of the job: everyone is so excited to see the new issue, and you get to hit the road and travel through Wyoming — as WORK! Who could ask…

Bridal Expo Mania!!!
Well, as is the case with most bridal expos, it snowed. However, we were able to travel easily, so it was okay! What. A. Weekend. Although it’s draining and busy, it’s arguably one of my favorite weekends of the year, business-wise! We started with a quick trip to Rawlins for some business Thursday night. Met some great folks! Hit the road and headed to Rock Springs, where we had to have dinner at one of our favorite restaurants: Winger’s! We used to have one in Laramie, where I waited tables in college, and we MISS it! We had a great time there — brought back a lot of memories……

Tips from the Road
I have been on the road a LOT the past week. Since last Thursday, I have driven over 2000 miles. And we’re not done! We have traveled darn near every corner of the state repeatedly since we began our Wyoming Weddings guide in January 2009. Having grown up in Wyoming, we have spent years traveling the state to visit family, attend sporting events (as participants and coaches), with our volunteer organizations, for vacations, etc… But I have to say that we’ve learned the most about our state these past two years. Now that our 1st anniversary of Wyoming Lifestyle Magazine and 2nd anniversary of Wyoming Weddings is approaching, I thought…

Plan a Ski Movie, and See it Snow!
Well, I did it again. I planned a trip, and it snowed. So if you’re grumpy about the arrival of winter in Wyoming, I’m afraid you have me to blame. It happens every year during bridal fair season, and this year we added presenting ski movies to our list of special events — so henceforth there will be snow. (Sorry.) For me, though, I LOVE snow!!! A gentleman I know calls me a ‘Wyoming Road Warrior’. I take that as a compliment. My father the Highway Patrolman calls it insane. I think that is part of the definition of ‘Wyoming Road Warrior’ — a little bit of courage and insanity…

The Life & Times of WLM — The Killer Casper Wasp (Yes, it was a KILLER!!! Quit laughing!) :)
Well, Levi is going to kill me for posting this one…but that’s okay. I rather like our couch, it is comfy to sleep on…hence why he’ll come wake my sorry butt up at 2 AM when I’ve fallen asleep writing an article on that same couch…often times hands still on the keyboard… 🙂 Last weekend Levi & I were in Casper for another Job’s Daughters conference. We arrived a little early and made our way through our distribution points in Casper, dropping off loads of extra copies. (Sadly, this is about as close as we get to a vacation sans babies anymore.) 🙂 As we left Country Charm Gift Shoppe,…

The Life & Times of WLM
http://www.mastermarf.com I have run into many people that want to know about the people behind our publication…for some reason that escapes me, people think that what we do is glamorous. Quite the contrary! We’re ordinary people living ordinary lives, save one thing — an extraordinary opportunity to promote the people, places, lives and times of our great state. I’ve also been one to share the crazy happenings of our family behind the scenes — and some have said that the crazy anecdotes that we experience would make a really interesting column. Well, here you go…the Life & Times of WLM. The craziness behind the scenes that makes us who…

Catching up!
My goodness, how time flies when you’re preparing an issue! Now that things are wrapping up, I can finally catch up on things like blogging — and laundry, yikes! 🙂 Summer is entering its last month, and August brings with it a feeling of ‘hurry up and get things done’. Hurry up and do school shopping, schedule the kids’ activities, go through the school clothes to see what doesn’t fit, but most of all, hurry up and enjoy all that Wyoming has to offer before the winter comes again. (Although I need to add that winter holds its own allure for me — I’m a ski bunny at heart.) 🙂…

Terrific Torrington
OK, I was searching for a superlative with a “t”… 🙂 We were in Torrington this past week for our annual Wyoming Job’s Daughters conference. What a time we had! Between catching up with folks from around the state, we enjoyed a very hospitable reception from the community! The staff at Eastern Wyoming College (EWC) were very kind, and their custodial staff was top notch! They constantly asked if we needed assistance of any kind, and they even saved my reusable signs after we left a few behind by accident! I was very impressed also by their librarian — she allowed me to rearrange tables and clear off displays for…

To work, to work!
Thanks to KGWN TV 5 in Cheyenne for two fun interviews! We presented wedding trends for 2010 last week with Wyoming Weddings; this week, we presented WY Lifestyle Magazine! Both of these interviews were at 6 AM, and believe me, being up and out the door in time to be at the station has NOT been an easy task! The one thing that I love about being up this early, though, is having the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful Wyoming Morning. Coming down the summit back to Laramie this morning, I was marveling at how green the valley looks — the rain we have received the last few weeks has…

Why We’re Here (And why we’re GROWING!)
It’s always worthwhile to reflect on WHY you do something. It’s so easy to know WHAT you’re doing, (even though the HOW sometimes takes figuring), but it’s the WHY that is so important. The WHY is what gets you out of bed in the morning, what keeps you cooking, and what make success taste that much sweeter. Personally, I set upon this journey as something to make my family proud. I want my children to have pride in seeing what their parents can do — and I want to set a good example for women everywhere. Embarking on this journey as a family is difficult at times, but we always…

Beautiful…
Photo from Billings Gazette story posted on February6, 2010 That’s the only word I can think to describe the scenery I drove through yesterday, and that one word doesn’t hardly do it justice. I left at 5 AM on a journey to Ten Sleep for an interview that will be featured in our new issue of WLM, due out in August — something about having to get up early in the morning, I never sleep well the night before because I am afraid of sleeping through my alarm! So, sleep-deprived and blurry eyed, I began my journey. I was jerked awake though by the sight of so many animals on…
