The Real KBD

Hi there!  I guess you clicked here so you could know something about me.  Well in a nutshell I like coffee, wine and to write using dots ….  there you go.More seriously – I (Kelly) am a 30-something year old wife to an amazing husband (Chris) who is the handiest & smartest person I know.  He is my best friend.  My girls, currently 3 1/2 (Amelia) and 19 months (Katherine), fill our life with joy and make our family complete.  I work in media strategy (think about companies like Netflix) and blogging is just a hobby on the side which means I’m always behind since it has to fit in with getting dinner on the table and putting the girls to bed and oh, sleeping.   I like to sleep – sleep is precious to me.  If my 19 month old wasn’t so cute, she might have gotten returned due to her propensity for interrupting mommy’s sleep.   I have a goal to be in shape and return to pre-baby body – if not even better than that.  And … (those … again), I’m just going to stop there for now – if I tell you everything then there isn’t something to blog about!The original blog name, Dyar and Dyar, came about because here in the great ATL we have a Volvo dealership called Dyer and Dyer.  When we bought one of my favorite cars there (a gently used S60 2.5T that we still own) – I tried to convince them we should get a deal – after all our name was Dyar – yes I know its spelled differently but that was close, right?  Didn’t fly – but since then I’ve always taken to Dyar and Dyar. 

In my recent move from the wordpress domain to the Dyar Family domain I decided to change the title to go with my twitter handle – therealkbd.  Because this blog – this is me.  Really me – my thoughts, my musings… no filter.  If I recommend something, I am honest about why – ususally its because I just really love it!  I have never gotten compensated to review anything on this blog.  I do use Amazon affiliate links because if I recommend something I think is awesome – and you buy it – it’d be nice to get a little credit for it.  But if you want to just go to Amazon and search and not use my links – I am okay with that too. 

If you want to see lots of cute pictures of my two girls – that’s what their blog is for: http://www.dyarfamily.com/DyarGirls – occasionally I put photos here, but this blog is about me and my musings.  I hope you enjoy them.
