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!

My daughter Kylee and I have talked about tattoos somewhere on our bodies since she was too young to get one. It was our "some day" conversation.

Is The New Trend Swimming With The Pigs Replacing Swimming With Dolphins?
My friend Jill went on vacation to the Caribbean and may have stumbled on the new trend, swimming with the pigs. Up until now I've only heard people talk about being thrilled to have been able to swim with the dolphins. Many do it so they can cross it off their bucket list. I LOVE pigs, so I have now placed swimming with them on my bucket list. However, Jill didn't have the best experience and

I have several friends that are either Vegan or Vegetarian. Yes, there's a difference.

However, when I cook for my friends who are Vegan, it is a bit more difficult. But, why in the world would either of them want to eat a non-meat burger just because it actually

They were delicious, it saved on our grocery bill and I know
