We have kids the same ages and I can always relate to your blog. It will be missed…maybe you should continue a blog professionally on your own:) I think you could almost make a living at doing that alone:) I wish you luck in your next adventure and how perfect your family schedule will be with your new position.
Saddened by your news, but super excited for you and the opportunity that is in your future!! Good Luck!!
I hope this doesn’t have anything to do with the negative comments from viewers!!!

Tara, I was shocked about the news of your leaving us. We will all miss you SOOO much. I am happy about your new career & know that you will continue to be a success wherever you go. Good luck in your new career & THANK YOU for all that you have done for us & hope that you will continue with the blog. I can’t imagine not keeping up with it & checking in with you on what Thomas is up to & Charlotte also.
Though I will personally miss you so much, I am so happy for you! You are absolutely making the right decision as you only get once chance to be with your children when they are growing up! Being with them in the evenings and on weekends will be wonderful for you. I’m sure your husband is happy for you too.
May God bless you and your family. So glad we have until August to enjoy your news delivery and this blog!!!!!!
Congratulations on your new position you will be taking over in August. I wish you the absolute best and will sure miss your smiling cheerful face on the news. Your new job sound very rewarding and I am sure you will fill those shoes perfect. I still will be watching KWWL forever.

As you said on the 6 pm broadcast, your family will greatly benefit from this change. I’m sure you made the decision prayerfully. Will sure miss you, glad it won’t be for awhile yet!
I have so enjoyed reading your blogs these past few years. I will truly miss reading about your family adventures! Good luck with your new career!
Tara – I am saddened by your news about leaving KWWL but excited for you at the same time. As a working mother I know all the coordination and sacrifices it takes to raise the family. Thanks for your many years of service to Iowa and hopefully you will continue to blog. I enjoy reading your blog everyday! Best of luck to you and your family!

Tara, Thank you for being a wonderful, positive news anchor. It is refreshing to see your positive attitude in action along with your award winning smile! KWWL’s loss is surely the Waterloo Community School’s gain!
Sad for us but happy for you to start your new job with more family time. My 5 year was sad though last night when I told her the news. Will miss keeping up with everything through your blog.
I congratulate you on your new position which will definitely give you a more normal family routine and allow you and your husband more time together as well. I will miss your blog. I have so enjoyed reading about your escapades and observations and offering any tidbit I could to help. Your shoes will be hard to fill but I wish you the best of luck as you move on to the next stage of your life!
Congratulations! I will miss your blog and seeing you on the news, but am so happy for you and your family. Good luck! And please let us know if you decide to continue your blog somewhere else.
Very happy for you. Please continue with your blog!!! I have enjoyed it over the years. Hey maybe now you will have time to do something with that darn hair of yours – only kidding! : )
Congrats on your new position! Waterloo Schools are lucky to have you!
I am gonna miss your blog. It’s fun to hear what’s new with you and your kids, especially since our daughters are the same age.
Family is the most important and how could you give up this opportunity to be at home with them more? I only work twice a week and LOVE it! I’m a total mommie and homebody! I am happy for you
Tara, I just want to wish you the best in the future. Also, I just have to tell you to wear red more often …you looked absolutely stunning tonight. Wow, you go girl!
