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!

NCHC Frozen Faceoff Champs UMD Bulldogs Victorious, Fan Experience Vicious
Congratulations to the UMD Men's Hockey Team, bringing the NCHC Frozen Four Trophy back to Duluth. Wow, I am certainly ignorant when it comes to attending hockey games outside of the Amsoil venue. I was fully expecting there to be a plethora of Bulldog fans at the NCHC Championship game at the Target Center on Saturday, instead the ratio was probably 4 to 1 and I ended up in a section I'll descr
I Dislike And Don’t Understand The New Descriptions Of Hazardous Weather
Has anyone else noticed that when we get notification of hazardous weather in the Northland they aren't using watches and warnings as much? When I started in radio I used my voice to explain the difference between the two. Now they've morphed to other descriptions and I'm not comfortable with them.

The Hibbing Dylan Project On The Iron Range Is In Need Of Artists

However, there are many that admire his music, are true fans and are thrilled that he recently won a Nobel Prize in Literature. A group on the Range w
Plastic Ware Explosion! It Was Out Of Hand And Taking Over My Kitchen

We didn't have plastic ware, Glad Ware then and all Chinese food was brought home in the boxes with the little metal handle. But, with all the new fangled plastic ware I have had an explosion of plastic containers in my kitchen. Can you rela
