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!

New Volkswagen “Luv Bug” Commercial, Naughty or Funny?
It actually took watching the new "Luv Bug" Volkswagen TV commercial twice to get it. The first time we saw it, my husband and I looked at each other in disbelief and said, "were they insinuating", "was that suppose to be them", "did they just"? After the second time we saw it we laughed and wondered if other people thought it was naughty or funny?

Airline Memories: Real Plates, Real Silverware And Hot Food
Once again I’m taking you back to the day when air travel was fun, not as expensive and you could keep your shoes on. About the same time that smoking was still allowed on planes, they also used real food plates with silverware and a cup and saucer. If you're old enough to remember that you're probably as annoyed as I am that you rarely even get a free soda on a flight now.

This is a super cool interactive illustration that will help you figure out exactly what bird woke you
What Qualifications Do You Need To Be A Lyft Driver?
My daughter has used Lyft in the cities when she was going to a concert. I was sorta freaked out and asked her if she was felt safe. She did, but added it was because she was with several other people. Recently the Duluth City Council voted to allow Lyft and Uber to begin operation in our city and that raised some question and concerns.
Just Do It! Join A City Of Duluth Adult Softball League This Summer
I was recently asked to join a volleyball league this summer. I use to play three nights a week but haven't for years. I'm going to "just do it" this year rather than say I'll think about it and not give it another thought. Volleyball was my thing. If softball is/was your thing, "just do it", don't just think about it this time. The City of Duluth's adult softball league r
See The 3D Printing Process At Duluth Denfeld High School’s Fab Lab
I have heard about 3D printers and am amazed at what they can make, but have never understood how. When I read that they now have a printer that can make a pizza I decided it needed to be researched further and turned to the Fab Lab at Denfeld High School and the instructor, Kevin Chederquist for answers.

When we first arrived I noticed several kids wandering in wearing black cloaks, once we got into Diagon Alley, I noticed several with black cloaks and Harry Potter wands. Diagon Alley is a sight to behold!
