Wow, we kind of stumbled upon 2011 without much warning, or so it seems! 2010 was a great year for Wichita Family and we're looking forward to an even better year to come.

Be sure to check out our inaugural Feature a Teacher story. It's a good one! We're introducing you to a local teacher who is about to start a family of her own. We've heard good words about Carrie Lutke from across the Wichita Public Schools so we were excited to feature her in this series. Carrie says she is blessed to be able to work with middle school students. Personally, I'm already worried—okay, terrified, if I'm completely honest—about the day when my kids head to middle school. Knowing there are teachers like Carrie right up the road at a local middle school make it a whole lot easier to think about.

There's also a great story this month from a local organizer about how you can take on your house without getting too overwhelmed along the way.

We're looking forward to bring you a lot of fun and helpful things in Wichita Family in the coming year. We appreciate all the feedback we've received and we always welcome all the ideas and suggestions for new things you'd like to see in the magazine. Keep it all coming!
