Twenty Years. That’s a long time–not as long as my parents (55 years) or my in-laws (52 years), but impressive, I think, when 50% of marriages end for a reason besides old age. With multiple kids playing multiple sports, I understand how this anniversary can slip by, under-celebrated. I looked for bargain airfares. Sailboats, beaches,…

Travel = Museums When I was 16 I wanted to see the Mona Lisa, in person. Travel means art museums. At home, like many people, I forget what’s in my backyard. Thankfully the Minneapolis Institute of Arts just send me a few emails reminding me of their new exhibit, Italian Style: Fashion Since 1945. Fantastic…

Perhaps I have spring fever from watching the icicles melt outside my window. Regardless of the cause once it really is spring and not just a warm February day, I’ll head to the Mississippi below the U of MN and check for new graffiti. Until then last year’s photos we’ll have to suffice.

Saturday dawned foggy and cool, but turned Minnesota Perfect after lunch: sunny and breezy in the 60s. This is the THE weekend to be outside. If you’re not interested in traveling far, consider a drive to Shakopee to visit the Sever’s Corn Maze. Honestly, I’d never been to one until Social Media Breakfast-MSP (#SMBMSP) invited…

I love to Tweet during conferences–it helps me remember and share the cool stuff I’m learning. However, even I can’t type fast enough to catch everything. So today I’m sharing the posted notes of Saturday’s speakers. Prefer photos or simply curious what the conference looked like? Take a peak at co-founder Arik Hanson‘s post, The…

I love First Avenue. It’s my downtown danceteria even if I don’t dance. But this is not a fangirl post. It’s about email marketing. Like you, my email inbox clogs up with messages I’ve opted in to. I subscribe to Teresa Boardman’s real estate blog just because I like her photos. Business news comes from…

I realize that’s an odd question, but one that pertains to how we buy and value products and services. Here are some examples: You see a house go on the market in a great neighborhood and it’s sold in 3 days. You hear a song on the radio and think, “Cool band, I’d like to…

Last week, I wrote about introducing the Twin Cities to someone new. Since then I’ve thought of hundreds of other cool things I could recommend. Welcome to my occasional series, So Cool: What to do in St. Paul-Minneapolis. Circle a boat on water skis? Impossible right? Nope! I saw it myself Thursday night at the…

When I moved to Chapel Hill, NC years ago, my neighbor and enduring friend gave us a list of all the fun activities for a family in the area. This year we’re sharing our Minneapolis-St.Paul knowledge with a family from Chapel Hill! Here’s a list of just some of the fun things my family likes…
