A Woman’s Touch

Life has changed quite a bit for my niece, Chantel Balcerzak over the past year. Since her daughter, Siara Kirk and her husband, Chris bought the house next door to Chantel and her husband, Dave Balcerzak, and then had a sweet baby boy named Nathanial, Chantel has been helping them by babysitting their sweet boy. It has been a great thing for everyone. Siara and Chris know that when they are working, their baby boy is having a great time with his grandma, and that makes going to work much easier for them. Leaving your baby with a sitter isn’t always easy, but it’s a whole lot easier when the sitter is Grandma. Chantel has three other grandchildren, as well as one sweet baby boy, Alec, who lives in Heaven. She enjoys spending time with each and every one of them.

Not only do Chantel and Dave live next door to Siara, Chris, and Nathaniel, but they are also best friends. They really enjoy doing things together. They love to attend concerts and football games and do so as often as possible. Chantel may not be the sports enthusiast that her husband or children are, but she very much enjoys the trips they have taken to the games. She enjoys travel, and if given the opportunity, she will gladly go. The concerts are a real favorite for her too.

Since she was a little girl, Chantel has always had a flair for the artistic…be it art, makeup, or fashion. Always the diva, Chantel always knew just how to pose to make the photograph being takes of her looked really great. She loves to paint, and has completed several murals, my favorite being the one she did on the wall in the backyard of her sister, Toni and husband, Dave Chase’s house. They love it too, and it gives their yard a beautiful mountain scene. You can actually feel like you are really in the mountains.

Being an artist, Chantel is also very good at interior design. Her house is beautiful, and on that I would always like to emulate…since I am not an artist or an interior designer. Chantel’s house has a distinctly feminine flair to it, but the “woman’s touch” in her house doesn’t bother her husband Dave one bit. I think he likes that his house has a “woman’s touch.” It makes him feel loved. I think every man wants to feel “taken care of” especially in their home, and Chantel’s knack for design truly makes him feel that way. Today is Chantel’s birthday. Happy birthday Chantel!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
