For Misty Reimer, mother of two, it 

was a true honor to have her 

daughter chosen as Baby of 2011. 

Nine months ago on March 31, 2011, 

Misty and her husband, Jerrod, were 

blessed with their second child, Kynzie 

Willow Reimer. 

She answers to the nicknames 

“Sissy” or “Sister,” flashing a smile 

that lights up the room as she 

shows off her two front bottom 

teeth. The only time this little 

ball of joy is not smiling is 

when she 

is being 

dressed 

o r 

Mommy 

puts a 

bow or 

headband 

in her hair. 

“Yeah bows and headbands do not last long 

with her,” Reimer said. “Socks go pretty 

quick too.” 

What puts the smile back on Kynzie’s face 

is watching “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” on 

TV, bath time and playing with her big brother, 

Jayce Rocket, 3. 

“When my husband first told Jayce that 

they were going to the hospital to visit 

Mommy and his baby sister, he responded by 

asking, ‘She’s out of Mommy’s tummy?’ he 

was so happy,” Reimer said. “Jayce is also the 

one who gave Kynzie her first stuffed animal, 

a pink giraffe.” 

The giraffe is now her favorite toy along 

with her Doodle Bug Activity Center that 

was brought to her by Santa Claus on her 

first Christmas. Her favorite food is any kind 

of vegetable, and she is repulsed by chicken 

and gravy baby food. Her mother says she 

refuses to crawl but gets around the house by 

rolling everywhere. And although there is 

much love between the two children, Kynzie 

is known for making her brother mad by 

stealing his blankets.



Her first words were “da da,” and now she can say “sissy” and 

“bye-bye” followed by a wave of the hand. She also looks forward 

to visits from her maternal grandparents, Curtis and Vickie 

Woods of Hutchinson, and paternal grandmother, Carolyn Reimer 

of Hutchinson. 

While Kynzie is now in day care, Misty and Jerrod plan to send her 

to Candy Lane Preschool in Hutchinson, where Jayce attends. For now, 

a typical day consists of Mommy dropping her and her brother off at 

school before she goes to work at Underground Vaults Storage in 

Hutchinson. Then after a few hours, her daddy picks them up once he’s 

off work from MegaFab in Hutchinson. 

Once she is home, she relaxes by eating some veggies and watching 

the best show ever, “Mickey 

Mouse Clubhouse.” She might 

decide to lie down for a little 

evening nap at around 

5 p.m., but this never 

affects her nighttime 

sleeping schedule. 

“She has been sleeping through 

the night ever since she was 2 weeks 

old,” said Reimer. “She’s a wonderful baby” 

The young couple, both originally from Hutchinson and graduates of 

Nickerson High School, anticipate many more years of joy with their 

two children and are currently looking to upgrade to a bigger home. For 

Kynzie and Jayce, a home where they have two loving parents and each 

other is all they need.

10 Ways to clothe kids for less 

Achild goes through approximately 

eight clothing size 

changes in the first two 

years of life. As he or she continues to 

grow, it's not unlikely to see clothing 

sizes increase every 6 to 12 months, 

and then annually once the child 

enters school. It can be an expensive 

venture to clothe a child, and many 

parents express frustration about 

having to frequently shop for children's 

clothing. 

So what can a parent who is looking 

to keep expenses down on kids clothes 

do? Here are 10 ways to scale back 

and keep kids fully clothed. 

1. Swap clothing. Children grow 

so quickly, oftentimes they are in the 

next size before they have even worn 

everything in their closets. Get 

together with family or close friends 

and devise a hand-me-down policy. 

You may end up with bags full of gently-used 

clothing without having to 

spend a cent. Return the favor when 

your child grows out of the items and 

pass them on to another person who 

can use them. 

2. Shop thriftily. Thrift stores 

have become the "in" place to grab 

deals and items that in many cases 

look brand new. Many even sell 

designer items. Check out thrift 

stores for supplemental pieces to your 

child's wardrobe, including coats and 

other pieces that tend to be pricey. 

Basics, like socks and underwear, can 

still be purchased from major retailers. 

3. Buy a size larger. Look for wellmade 

pieces that can be purchased in 

a size larger to ensure at least two 

year's worth of use. Pants can be 

cuffed or temporarily hemmed. Many 

pants also come with adjustable 

waistbands so they can be cinched if 

too large. Sleeves can be rolled up. 

Children may actually prefer a more 

baggy style anyway. 

4. Learn to sew. You don't need to 

be a professional tailor to make many 

items for your kids. With 

easy patterns for skirts, 

vests and shirts, you 

can add to a 

child's wardrobe 

with handmade 

items. The 

basics of sewing 

can assist you in 

tailoring certain 

items into others, like 

turning a long shirt 

into a cute dress for a 

girl or revamping wornout 

jeans into shorts. 

You may be able to use 

the fabric from 

unworn items 

in your own 

closet to 

make clothing 

for the 

kids. 

5. Patch 

and mend 

before tossing. Many people are 

quick to throw out clothing with tears 

or holes. Repairing these items adds 

years to their life and saves you 

money. Iron-on seam menders and 

easy-use adhesives can assist with 

repairs when sewing skills are limited. 

Also, patching jeans or pants doesn't 

have to look obvious. Girls may 

love adding star- or heart-shaped 

patches cut from frilly fabrics to holes 

in their pants as a fashion statement. 

6. Shop sales. When visiting retailers, 

shop at the end of the season and 

load up on items in a size larger for 

next year. Cash in on warehouse sales 

or when stores are unloading overstock 

to make room for the new season. 

Some will take your e-mail 

address and let you know 

when insider sales are taking 

place. 

7. Sign up for a 

loyalty card or the 

store credit card. 

Many stores give 

discounts to cardholders 

that go 

beyond the deals 

offered to the general 

public. Stick to stores 

that don't charge a fee to 

open or hold the credit 

card. Having the store's 

card does not mean you 

have to use it, but it 

could entitle you to 

advertisements and 

discounts not available 

all the time. 

8. Search for coupons 

and use them. Before heading 

to the store, scour the newspaper 

or check your junk mail drawer for 

coupons. Shop at the stores offering 

discounts, even if they're not your 

normal places to get kids' clothes. 

Also, it doesn't hurt to go online and 

do a query for "discount codes"or 

"store coupons" for the retailer you 

plan to visit. Chances are there is a 

deal floating around in cyberspace 

that you can use. 

9. Don't be stuck on gender-specific 

items. Many items of clothing 

cross gender lines. Hold on to items 

like solid-colored shirts and Ts, jeans, 

undershirts, and pajamas. Unless it 

specifically screams boy or girl print 

on it, you may be able to use it for a 

younger child who is a different sex 

from his or her sibling. 

10. Don't over buy. Kids do not 

need a dozen pairs of shoes, four coats 

or three different hat-and-glove combinations. 

Exercise good judgement 

with regards to how much clothing is 

necessary. Cutting down on kids' 

clothing saves money and saves work 

laundering all of those items, too.



Safest Toys for Baby 

Furnishing your baby with the 

right kind of toy to play with 

is very good for accelerating 

the growth of his body and his perception. 

For infants, the playground is 

the school ground and it is during 

their playtime that 

their mental and 

physical faculties 

are 

enhanced. 

The first 

things that 

n a t u r e 

attends to 

building up 

during infancy 

are the 

internal organs, 

the muscular tissue 

and the skeletal framework 

of the baby’s body. For this purpose, 

the infant needs to have all the nutrients 

that those organs require for 

growth. To accelerate the process, 

giving baby the tools (toys) for gaining 

full control of his use of muscles 

and bones will be necessary. 

The mental faculties of infants are 

not yet capable of inventing ways for 

them to willfully stimulate their 

growth. Instead of that, they are 

endowed with intensely inquisitive 

natures which lead them to touch, 

smell and manipulate everything 

they see and can reach. It is this 

‘meddling’ nature of babies that we 

have to use to teach them the skills 

they need to learn. 

The right shape to look for 

Contours that can harm the infant 

are definitely not appropriate for 

toys. Included in these are protrusions 

which are pointed and edges 

which are sharp. The toy’s outline 

should also not be angular or pointed. 

It is best to confine your selection to 

toys with rounded shapes. 

Hoop toys and rattlers, spherical or 

circular toys are safe for babies. Just 

make sure they do not contain 

designs that have sharp edges. Box 

shapes are dubious choices, especially 

if boxes with sharp corners. 

Coloring substances that are 

safe for use with toys for babies 

Carefully consider the paint that 

was used on the baby toy. Inorganic 

paints have chemical ingredients 

which, even after the paint has dried, 

continue to discharge harmful chemicals 

into the air for some time. Also, 

the fact that babies are prone to 

put things in their 

mouths or to lick 

on their toys 

makes inorganic 

paints 

an unsafe 

c h o i c e . 

Besides inorganic 

dyes, 

you also need 

to look out for 

flammable ones. 

In that regard, 

most inorganic dyes 

are flammable. 

Before purchasing any toy, you 

need to know from the vendor what 

sort of paint was used on the toy. Do 

not purchase if your vendor does not 

know. Look for something somewhere 

else or another person in the same 

store who knows. Choose toys painted 

with water based dyes as these are 

the ones which are not poisonous and 

non flammable. 

Latex paint or mild paint are 

organic and non toxic coloring substances. 

What are latex paints? 

Latex (which is really the sap of 

certain trees) is the binder that is 

used in latex paints. Binders fix the 

dye on the surface that was painted. 

In nature, the sap is not poisonous. 

When dried, it is not flammable. 

Therefore toys painted with latex are 

safe for babies., within normal usage. 

What are milk paints? 

Your safest option for painted toys 

for babies are those which were colored 

with milk paint. The dye consists 

of nothing more toxic than milk 

pigments, substances derived from 

the earth and earth pigments. 

Of course, you have to be sure that 

the baby is allergic neither to latex 

nor to milk.



Choosing A Family Pet Which Suits Your Lifestyle 

Nearly all people come with 

an idea just which pet 

they need; nonetheless, 

the maintenance of a pet can bring 

about some concern. Knowing how to 

find the correct pet for you could be 

easy. You may have gotten several 

pets to be a child and know you'll need 

a companion for your own property or 

you might have always wanted the 

pet but been told you can not have a 

single. Whatever the case you may 

have to take into consideration some 

tips to pet treatment when deciding 

exactly what pet is right for you. 

Several animals take more care 

than others. Dogs are extremely 

needy animals. They are quite sensitive 

towards their owners. I am sure 

nearly all of you have been aware of 

dogs tearing up a home when left 

along right through the day. Dogs can 

get bored even when they have other 

dog companions in addition to toys. 

They need the human interaction. 

Most dog managers take their dogs 

out for the walk before do the job and 

after work with the exercise along 

with play time. Other owners whom 

work outside usually let 

their dogs come 

to work with 

them to 

k e e p 

them out 

of trouble. 

Cats 

on additional 

hand can 

amuse 

t h e m - 

selves and 

when you 

put your valuables 

over a 

shelf, they cannot 

achieve and keep some sort of clean 

house they're going to sleep, look out 

home windows, and play with toys as 

long as you're away. Fish are yet 

another kind of pet that is usually low 

maintenance with the exception of 

cleaning the tank for your fish. 

Pet proper care is vital when you 

own a pet. They need attention from 

other owners, positive reinforcement, 

training, and love. Fish are usually 

excluded using this statement, as 

they just need food, proper tank 

preservation, and a few plants to preserve 

life, however the position is 

proper pet care is needed when you 

unique any pet. The decision will be 

yours to produce in choosing what the 

best pet is for you personally. Above I 

mentioned three varieties of pets and 

little about their attention, now I 'm 

going to look at it a bit more. 

Even though dogs usually are 

high maintenance and require the 

most training they've also been the 

most effective pets to individual. They 

can alert you to definitely danger, 

alert you to someone at the door, and 

give unconditional enjoy back. A dog 

only asks in substitution for proper 

care and a lot of attention. If you is 

not home at all times, you will want to 

make sure the dog incorporates a roof 

over their heads in case there is 

inclement weather, and a massive 

yard to participate in in. Some dogs 

can easily jump fences so 

it usually is best to 

have a dog run 

within the yard 

to allow them 

to move about, 

but not evade. 

Cats on 

another hand 

can end up 

being high 

or low maintenance 

according to 

breed along 

with personality. 

Some cats require 

hours of men and women 

attention while other folks shirk 

attention. Some cats are part of an 

one dog household. They do not like to 

share the owner's affections and definately 

will become upset or even 

mean towards this infiltrator. Others 

need the playmate's focus on live happily. 

It will be hard to ascertain just 

which sort of cat you own when you 

buy them because kittens 

as their personalities are 

merely developing. Pet 

care is the most important 

factor when you 

are deciding which 

pet is befitting you 

and the house. You 

will want to consider 

all your pet care 

needs on the animals 

you are looking 

for as well as 

the breed you are 

looking for to determine 

as long as they 

will have any happy 

place at your residence.
