Hello! Welcome to my little corner of the website!
I’m Cari, Dr. Kilcup’s wife. For a long time I’ve been behind the scenes as my husband’s editor. (You can let me know if I’ve missed any spelling or grammatical errors!) He has asked me to contribute to this site with some real life healthy living ideas. Apparently, a few of his patients have expressed an interest in knowing how our family lives day to day. So if you are one of those two or three people who might like to know a bit about our home life, I hope you enjoy what I have to share.
First, here’s a little bit about me. I’m happily married to that handsome man in all the pictures. 🙂 We have ten amazing children, all but the first born at home, and all but the first still living at home. I absolutely love having a big family! I am also grandmother to the cutest little boy, and am delighted by the thought that I have a pretty good chance of having more adorable grandbabies.
I spend my time teaching my school-aged children at home and caring for the needs of my family. I also like to research health topics and do my best to incorporate what I learn into our family’s daily life.
My dream is to live on a farm with animals and a lovely garden with fruit trees and vegetables. That may remain a dream, however, as I have not proven very proficient at gardening. I have much to learn. While I do have some things growing in pots on my patio in spite of me, I’m afraid I don’t have much advice to offer in that department.
I’m really nothing special, just a mom, who never gets everything done I’d like to. I actually have some confessions to make—I haven’t always lived as healthily as I do now. But you’ll have to wait for my next post to read the dirt on me!
Looking forward to hearing your tips! I am sure you are a pro with 10 kids!
Thank you Jenna! Nope, not a pro by any means. Still learning, adjusting, making mistakes and trying again. I just want to encourage others who are trying, like I am, to be healthier!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I am one of those who have been just bowled over by all the information Dr. K. has shared about my health (or lack of) and am hungry for practical information on how to apply it to my life.
Hi Rhonda! I know what you mean. It can be overwhelming! I hope what I share will encourage you. You can do it!

REALLY?? Don’t sell yourself short, Cari!
There is a lot about you that is special… to many, especially Darrell! Keep positively real!
Aw Sunny, thank you! I just meant that I haven’t got it all together. I’m just here to share what I’ve learned and applied to our lives, but I’ve still got lots to learn. Thanks for the encouragement!
First and foremost, I think this is wonderful!!!! Absolutely a great idea!! Cari’s Corner- so cute!!! Looking forward to what you will share. Only one objection – and that is that you said you are nothing special. Cari you are extra special – a woman to be praised. I love you, Momma
Looking forward to learning from your wise ways!
