The Newsletter Pro - December 2017

What Would We Do Without Karli McNamee?

OUR PROBLEM SOLVER AND PROUD NEW MOM Around the office, we like it when everything goes smoothly, but sometimes we’re faced with the unexpected. When that happens, Karli McNamee is the woman to call. Karli is our executive assistant, which means she’s the go-to problem solver. “She’s the cutest baby I’ve ever seen,” Karli will tell you, in the

voice of a proud, albeit sleep-deprived, mother. “Not that I’m biased or anything. When we go out, I can’t walk five paces without someone commenting on how cute she is, how small she is, or how much hair she has. Wow, does this girl have a lot of hair!” Little Knikki has been a popular topic — and with good reason. She was the first to arrive of The Newsletter Pro’s new babies, and she’s Karli’s firstborn. The line “motherhood changes you,” might be a cliche, but that doesn’t make it any less true. “Being a mom means your entire world shifts. The things you thought were important or special before no longer seem very important,” Karli says. “And things you never thought you would care about, like burps and pooping, suddenly became the important thing!”

Karli is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. Around the office, if someone needs help, she’s always willing to answer the call with a smile. But since her daughter came into her life, Karli says her heart’s changed so much. “I feel like the Grinch at the end of the Dr. Seuss story,” she explains. “I’ve always considered myself to be a loving person, but I swear, my heart has grown three sizes since I first laid eyes on Knikki. Ryan and I are overjoyed to have her in our lives.”

Keyboard died in the middle of writing an article praising your executive assistant? Talk to Karli.

Forgot to send an email reminding everyone in the office about the ugly sweater contest on Wednesday, Dec. 20? Talk to Karli. It’s a good thing Karli is so great at managing a crisis, because she’s going to be doing a lot of that at home now. On Tuesday, Sep. 26, at 11:24 p.m., Karli and her husband, Ryan, started an incredible new adventure when they welcomed their daughter, Knikki Kerrigan McNamee, into the world.

Congratulations, Karli! We’re so happy for your growing family.
