I’m in Dallas Child!

Gretchen Sparling interviewed me recently for an article called, “Kristine Kahanek: The Mom Next Door” that appears in this month’s Dallas Child Magazine and Ft. Worth Child Magazine.

The article talks about how I balance my work and family lives, as well as my new book, Katie and the Magic Umbrella

Here’s a little excerpt:

Kristine Kahanek’s familiar face and voice soothes the uneasy, weather-related worries of Dallas-Fort Worth residents on Channel 11 (KTVT-TV), where she serves as chief meteorologist. But this mom of two aims to reach more than just television viewers with her weather expertise – Kahanek recently authored her first children’s book, Katie and the Magic Umbrella: A Stormy Adventure. 

Just in time for Texas’ spring storm season, the working mom shares details of her happily harried life with kids, Savannah, 7, and Jared, 10, and her inspiration for helping kids keep their cool when the weather heats up.

You can read the entire article over on the Dallas Child web site.

A big thank you to Gretchen and her staff for inviting me to be a part of this month’s edition. My kids think it’s so cool that they are in a “real” magazine and got to be in a “real”photo shoot!
