December 23, 2013 It amazes me when I hear of the homeless in our area. But, if you look close, they're there, wandering the city streets in tattered clothing, looking for warmth, a hearty meal and friendship.
December 17, 2013 B105 on air personalities delivered toys to the Union Gospel Mission, that they and B105 listeners had donated during a Caring Christmas promotion. 15 boxes filled with books, dolls, action figures, electronics and other misc. toys will be distributed to local families who don't have enough to help children have a Merry Christmas.
December 12, 2013 This Pantene commercial was brought to my attention by another female. She told me the message was that there was inequality between women and men and that women should remain strong and powerful and forge forward in our quest for equality. However, after viewing the video and reading what men had to say, I see both sides. Do you?
December 11, 2013 The holidays always seem to be the time I realize that my skill of saving money sucks! Then I panic and wonder if I'll be able to pay bills, get food and take care of the extra spending for presents, baking, decorations and other holiday costs. My mom use to have a Christmas Club account, not sure if banks and financial institutions still offer that, but this easy saving chart can certain give you some direction so you have money to spend next holiday season. Consider doing it and saving with me!
December 9, 2013 Whether you're a cross country or down hill skier, the weather has cooperated as far as snow. Although, the temps could accommodate by warming up a bit. But, it will soon and when it does, the Superior Municipal Forest Trails are open. There are some things you should know before you go.
December 7, 2013 I love DIY crafts, even though my craft skills resemble that of a 2nd grader. It's fun to get a group of gals together and chat while being productive. I've been following Alejandra and her organizational videos. When I saw this simple yet darling craft she made, I had to share. She mentions tie your gift cards to them so you're not just handing over an envelope. Genius!
There will come a time in your career when you have to call in sick. That’s fine. Companies offer employees sick days for a reason. But you should always use your sick days properly and professionally.
Picking a name for a baby can be tough, so maybe this study will help.
December 4, 2013 We have a friend who is vegan. When I asked what that meant, he said he doesn't eat anything with a face. I guess that's true, but I had been hoping for a more technical answer. I wanted to know the difference between vegan and vegetarian. I don't know if I could do it, but I've heard of so many health benefits, I thought I'd research it and even borrowed a vegan cookbook to see if anything sounded good.
Nobody's perfect, but even the best of us is occasionally going to come up short at the office. But there’s a difference between the occasional missed meeting and a career full of bad work habits that remain unbroken. And that difference could cost you your job.
December 2, 2013 My daughter's birthday dinner was at grandma's house last night. Corned venison was on the menu. I didn't try it then, but took a baggie of it to work this morning so Ken could try it. He MADE me try it too and ya know what??? It wasn't that bad, tasted JUST like corned beef. With MN and WI deer hunting seasons over, I thought I'd look for other possible venison recipes that I think would have a taste that I wouldn't mind. Taste of Home's Venison Taco Pie looks yummy! What's your favorite venison recipe?
November 27, 2013 Every year I am grateful for people that come into my life, the ability to attend amazing events and that I have the opportunity for a little downtime and fun with my family. It's hard to narrow them down to just five, but as I look back at 2013 these are some of my favorites. Even the simplest of time spent with family should be considered a highlight. Hopefully this blog helps you ponder your life and appreciate all that you experienced too!
