February is another cold month in Minnesota… as in, EXTREMELY cold! This is the time of year I stay at home doing my work online and catch up on those home projects I’ve been meaning to get to. For some, extreme cold weather can cause discomfort as it triggers trouble in breathing. Luckily for me, […]
A month ago, I traveled to Salt Lake City from Minneapolis to assist my daughter Ellie, and to help my first grandbaby enter this world! (I know, I can’t believe I’m a grandma either!!) I was so blessed to be with Ellie on her journey to becoming a mother. And on December 22, 2020 She […]
