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!

How Are Shoes So Sacred They Have To Be Retrieved From A Backroom?
My sister and I were shopping at a mall in Wausau, WI when we started looking at shoes (imagine that) in one of the mall’s anchor stores. We both found a few pairs that we wanted to try on, but there was only one girl working the shoe department, meaning getting shoes and working the register to check people out.

Duluth East Culinary Student Moving On To Nationals [VIDEO]
I can cook if it comes in a box and there's instructions. I have always been in awe of chefs that just pour, taste, season and use words like demi glaze and balsamic vinegar reduction.

We as a community should be so proud of one culinary student at East High School and there's a place you can go to eat the deliciousness t
