Earlier in October, I signed the paperwork to be a LuLaRoe Fashion Consultant, which I announced in this blog post. Since then, I have been patiently (sort of) waiting to get my official “onboarding” phone call, expected about 8 weeks or so after that initial paperwork was submitted. I also immediately began the process of […] Read more…
Minnesota State Fair | 2016 Edition
Joe and I have this mother-son thing about the Minnesota State Fair. Often I have some work-related events to attend to at the fair and for the past several years, he’s come with me to hang out. I work for a few hours and then we play for the rest of the day. This year, […] Read more…
Farmers Learn & Network, Too!
A week ago I was in Duluth to kick off the summer conference of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association.

We have multiple opportunities for education at the […] Read more…

However, the Tuesday-that-still-felt-like-Monday wasn’t all that great, if I’m going to be completely honest here. Nothing major bad, mind you […] Read more…
Weekend Snaps | Around Home
I’m on the couch, typing this little weekend update on my laptop with Joe hanging out next to me and Earl the Pug at my feet. I’d say that’s just about a perfect Sunday night. (Oh, and there was ice cream. Always ice cream.) The weather felt more like late fall around here last week […] Read more…
The Big Event & Post-Hibernation
It’s taken me 72 hours of mini-hibernation but I think I’m finally catching up on my sleep. Last Monday I took off for Saint Paul, where my office started set up for the 45th annual Midwest Poultry Federation Convention – the largest show focused solely on the poultry industry in the U.S. The convention itself […] Read more…
