Karla's Korner: Top 11 'Benefits' of Sleep Deprivation

It all started when I was a teenager.  I remember filling my ears with earplugs, positioning my eye mask and adhering a Post-it warning on the door: "Do NOT wake me for any reason - including a fire.  In the event of a fire, firefighters alone are allowed to disturb me."  (Yes, I really did post a note like that.  And yes, I realize firefighters would probably not approve of that escape plan). 

Karla's Korner: Introducing Isabella Marie

I have to admit, I had my doubts.  I doubted that "it" could be as memorable, moving and magical the second time around.  I doubted that I'd again be filled with awe and wonder at the beauty of it all.  I even doubted whether I'd feel the same overwhelming and immediate connection in that one profound moment - and that I could possibly love another child as much as I love the first.

And then she arrived.  And those doubts just disappeared.

Karla's Korner: 'I'm pregnant, what's your excuse?'

Alright, you need to give me a chance to explain. I wouldn't normally launch into a blog with such a defiant, almost combative, tone. But mind you, it's with reason. I'm justified. Completely and totally. And you only have to read on to agree with me.

Karla's Korner: 'It's going to be a big baby!'

I think I deserve a little credit. I mean, I've been pregnant for like, seven months, and have written not ONE word about the perils of pregnancy (at least when it comes to all those unsolicited comments).

Karla's Korner: 'I'd call you back, but my daughter dropped my iPhone in the toilet'

It wasn't exactly what you'd expect from a reporter, but it was my truth and my reality for a long, long time: I lived and worked without a smart phone. Yes, it wasn't until this May that I was officially inducted into the smart phone world. And by then, Apple was already on its fourth version of the beloved iPhone. For me, it may as well have been the first and only - such was the difference it's made in my life.

Karla's Korner: And baby makes four

Hello.  My name is Karla Hult.  I'm a reporter for KARE 11 and a one-time avid blogger.

Karla's Korner: Grace turns 1!

Nearly one year ago, I sat down at my computer - late at night - and began typing. 

Karla's Korner: 'Minnesota Nice,' you've met your match

We all do it. We stereotype regions of our country and even the world. For example, New Yorkers are harsh and impolite (not true, actually, my experience of living in the city could not have been more enjoyable)

Karla's Korner: Babe in Britain (and the hospital)

Perhaps it's a little kitsch, if not a little corny (korny?), for me to call this blog, "Karla's Korner"...

Mommyhood: It lives up to all the hype

We all do it.  We live for - or at least, savor - the weekend.  My weekends are now Sunday through Tuesday.

Top 10 life lessons, according to a 3-month-old

It's pretty remarkable how much a seemingly unknowing little one can teach the caretakers around her. 

The perfect child

Planes, trains...and newborns

Alright, the above headline is misleading.  We did not travel by air or rail.  But we did go to Chicago in an automobile.
