One of the greatest thing about being a Minnesota Blogger is that I get invited to some pretty cool events. Last night I was lucky enough to attend a preview of Ice Castles in Stillwater, MN. It was a beautifully clear night out because it was -1°F, the windchill was -24°F. Trust me when I say it was cold. It might not be on your
File this under Movies You'll Want To See: 20th Century Women. As a Minnesota blogger and influencer (yeah, I cringed just a little when I typed that last word) I get advance screening tickets to some pretty great movies including Moana, that last Star Wars movie and now 20th Century Women. I'll be honest, I hadn't heard of this movie before I got the invite and I
If you like the cold, then you probably love these things to do this January in Minnesota. It's cold, like really cold. Like so cold people who have never lived here really don't understand how cold it can get. Currently it is 10° F. That's cold, but it's going to get even colder. Thursday it's forecasted to be -5°F, and being a Minnesota Blogger, I'm scheduled
For your reading pleasure I've put together my sometimes annual Redhead Ranting 2016 Roundup. Every other media outlet does a roundup so I thought, what the heck, I'll do one too! I'm actually surprised I wrote enough this year for a roundup. In fact, I actually wrote and published 60 posts this year, which is my third time high since I started blogging in 2007.
If you're looking for family friendly things to do in the Twin Cities this December look no further than all these great events taking place this month. There's really something for the whole family to enjoy this December. Head on down to the Landmark Center in Downtown St. Paul and get your skate on at the Wells Fargo WinterSkate arena. If you'd rather take a
I was recently invited to a production of The Murder Mystery Company Totally 80s Totally Murder to review . The show took place at a Stillwater Knights of Columbus and people came from as far as Hastings, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Crystal and Hopkins. If you're not from around the Twin Cities, that's quite a hike for a Minnesotan to make on a Saturday in November. The place was packed, since
It's getting spooky out there at the MN State Fairgrounds! Pumpkin Night Twin Cities has taken over the fairgrounds and it's pretty spooktacular!! Actually, it's not that spooky, which makes it perfect for the little ones (and their parents) who want to get into the Halloween spirit. Haven't heard of Pumpkin Nights before? You're probably not alone. This is the first year I've heard of them,
Did you know you're supposed to be storing geraniums over the winter? Did you know that these incredibly hardy plants can last for decades if stored properly? That's right, there is no need to purchase new geraniums each year. Geraniums are actually perennials even though they are grown as annuals in many parts of the country. I love geraniums because their blooms are bursting with color
I love this easy winter accessories organization hack! In Minnesota we're never sure when winter will start or when it will end, but keeping all the hats, scarves, mittens and gloves out gets sloppy and takes up too much room by the back door. So I created this easy winter accessories organizer and put it where we keep all the boots and coats. Prior to
While Jacob Wetterling's remains have been found, there will be no closure for the Wetterlings. Over the weekend news sites and social media have been filled with articles about Jacob Wetterling. Jacob Wetterling's remains were found this past weekend when the man who is suspected of abducting Jacob led authorities to his remains. I know better, but I looked at the comments. All of the comments
