Hello, from a Northland girl born in Cloquet, raised in Wrenshall, and currently living in Duluth! I consider myself lucky to have been able to share my mornings and life with you since 1996. It's like audio Facebook. You're the reason getting up at 3am is totally worth it! I love hot buttered movie theater popcorn, the smell of a lake (especially if I’m fishing), and warm fuzzy blankets. I’m a lover, not a fighter, and yes it’s true, I get my hair cut on a weekly basis. Kudos to my family, Homie, Kylee, and my Schnauzer, Bauer for always being by my side. I appreciate that you wake up with the B105 Breakfast Club, read and share my blogs and most of all, your friendship through the years! Peace, love and hugs!

Duluth East Culinary Student Moving On To Nationals [VIDEO]
I can cook if it comes in a box and there's instructions. I have always been in awe of chefs that just pour, taste, season and use words like demi glaze and balsamic vinegar reduction. I was hoping reduction meant taking the calories out, but that's a no go. We as a community should be so proud of one culinary student at East High School and there's a place you can go to eat the deliciousness t

My Review Of The New OMC Smokehouse Restaurant In Duluth
To be honest, I've actually been to the OMC Smokehouse at 1909 West Superior St.

Local Authorities Educate Students With A Mock Crash Demonstration At PSS This Morning
I always say that "life experience" is such a great learning tool. Even though it's tough, I've always let my daughter make her own choices, knowing that if she made a bad decision, she would learn from it. However, when it comes to car accidents sometimes the outcome is irreversible, that's why I'm glad that our local authorities have developed a way to simulate a crash. With this mo
Spirit Airline Voted Least Favorite In The US, I Agree Here’s Why
Recently Spirit Airline came out on the bottom of a favorite airline list. I may have been in the group of people that say “who”, if I hadn’t experienced it for myself and I totally agree. We had heard of the inexpensive airline from a friend who used their services, but keep in mind that he was traveling alone and was only gone for a weekend so he had one small suitcase that he carried on. By the
