ONCE UPON A TIME....

If you have not figured out by now I am Kristi, wife of John, Mommy to Sinclair and “Stepmomster” to Hailey and Daniel. My gorgeous kind husband and I live in Houston, Texas with our cat “Oscar Wyatt” (like his namesake our kitty is fearless) and two tri-color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs, Clementine and Oliver.I have been blessed with two incredible “bonus kids” (I loathe the word “step”). There is the charming and brilliant Daniel (24) who is engaged to be married this fall to the most stunning elegant young lady, Veronica. Then there is the hilariously funny and stunning Hailey (22) who is more like my little sister than anything else. I could not imagine life without our modern day Brady Bunch.

On July 11, 2006 I gave birth to the Princess of our brood, Kimble Sinclair. I don't even know where to begin in telling you how extraordinary she is. That's pretty much this entire website is about. So far this is a compulsion, far beyond my control.

Let's see, what to know about me. I love Hermes bags. I cannot live without my Blackberry or Tivo. My favorite food is seared Foie Gras. I relax by reading biographies or history. I despise parking lots, picky eaters and airport security. I am allergic to pepper and flying coach….actually the pepper part is true. My favorite place to visit is anywhere my family is. Actually I was one of the first bloggers ever in the history of the internet. I was a radio and television personality. The radio persona or Noms de Plum that was brought to life was “Lucy Lipps” This was on the cusp of the internet revolution (which began for me in 1993) during which very successful internet relationship advice column where I wrote the behind the scenes of my celebrity interviews. Many things inspire me daily beside my family. I like to know what motivates people subconsciously. A few things that fascinate me and immediately come to mind for me are: President George Bush; former President George Bush; Condi Rice; Andrew Carnegie; Oprah; Dr Hunter S. Thompson; Dr. Douglas Brinkley; Bill Clinton; Bill Gates; Jean-Georges; Arthur Elrod; John Lautner; Horatio Alger; Red Adair; Mae West; Emily Dickinson; Johnny Cash; Nancy Drew; Joel A.
