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!

While in the grocery store choosing dressing we got into the conversation of which we should bring to the barbecue, Western (often called French) or Catalina. Whi
Day Trippin’ Road Trip Treats Your Family Will Love
I love to road trip. One of the best parts (besides singing to your favorite songs) is the snacks you munch on, on the way and what you find to eat once you get there. No worries if you don't have a lot of vacation time. There are lots of day trips you can take with treats at your destination...
I Invented A New Lo-Cal Yummy Summer Drink
It was quite by accident that I invented a new drink that is refreshing and lo-cal. It only takes three ingredients and it doesn’t involve soda so there’s no fizz to fill you up. It's the perfect summer drink! Now I just have to come up with a name for it.

How Cool Are The Weight Stations On The Paved Trail In Two Harbors?
While we were camping in Two Harbors at Burlington Bay, we had to run to Super One. We decided to go for a drive on the road that passes by Super One.
