Drumline
The highlight of my weekend was all about the John Marshall marching band; specifically the drumline. It was JM's homecoming, you see and so not only did I attend the parade and enjoyed the band as they marched by, but I also went to the homecoming football game...
Can You Spot The Problem?
I don't know Amy Schumer, but I would like to! She's funny and seems like a down-to-earth kind of a person. Sure she can be raunchy on occasion, but I love how she calls out the ridiculousness of celebrity and beauty.
Amy shared this pic on Instagram earlier this week, giving parents everywhere something to think on for a bit...
Daycare Dance Party!
It's been just a few months since we've been spending middays together on Y105FM, but I already have a hands down FAVORITE time of day: the daycare dance party!
Much to the embarrassment of my children, I love to dance. In the car, in the kitchen or even in the aisles of the grocery store, I will NOT back down when someone drops the sick beat, yo...
Stress Less
Today on Buzzfeed there was a story about Alina Ramirez. She is taking an intro to Pychology class in Oxnard California. Her teacher, Brett Phillips, started off the school year by handing out a list of 101 ways to cope with stress. Alina was so impressed, she shared it on Twitter and it went viral...
The Most Beautiful State in the World!
Or at least in the union.
It might seem the writers at Thrillist were ready to ditch the office last Friday afternoon when they came up with a list which ranked all 50 states by how beautiful they are.
Unfortunately for Kansas, somebody had to come out on the bottom of this list...
Donut tell ME I can’t take just a bite!
If there is one thing I've learned over my 20 year friendship with James Rabe, it's that usually I'm right and he's wrong. What? I SAID usually!!
Take the other day for instance. The boss brought doughnuts to the station because she is fabulous and that's just the kind of cool thing she would do...
Hijab for a Day
What happens when women cover?
Maybe you've found yourself wondering about Islam, or if you should trust your Muslim neighbor.
Maybe you've seen viral videos of women talking about wearing a hijab, or non-Muslim women covering as an experiment...
Miss Minnesota’s Prince Shoes
Miss Minnesota, Madeline Van Ert, returned home yesterday without the Miss America crown, but with a pretty swell prize, Miss Congeniality! There really IS something to that whole "Minnesota Nice" thing that we talk about in our state.
In coming days, I'm sure we'll hear some neat stories from this Rochester native and University of Minnesota student...
Kindness Practice
Last week, I shared an article I'd found about a study from the University of Michigan which found college freshmen are 40% less empathetic than 30 years ago. As a parent, it was a sock of 'mom guilt' to the gut. Am I raising our kids to be empathetic?!
Margarita Madness
Have you heard of the MedCity Foundation? Well, you should because it is all about what is good in our area!
