Let's just say that when Spring, Summer and Autumn roll around in Minnesota, we all want to get outside as much as possible.

Somehow I ended up on the side of TikTok catering to growing corn. I myself and not a farmer, nor have I ever grown corn, but that doesn't seem to matter. Every time I make a TikTok video about how tall corn is, it seems to blow up. This week...

Growing up, I played my fair share of board games. Monopoly, Scrabble, and of course, checkers. I even dabbled a bit in Chinese checkers! But one game that eluded me was chess. Learning a complex game like chess as a child takes a great teacher and a patient student. Neither of those variables was present when I was young. But a young Iowa girl has proven that you're never too young to be the best!

These days, weddings can take place pretty much any time of the year, and on just about any day of the week, too.

It's interesting to see what people have to say about their trips to the Northland. The Twin Ports is a beautiful place, but sometimes we tend to forget in our busy lives just how lucky we are to live here. So many friends from out of town come to visit us because of where we live, let's be honest. We've all hosted friends or family and have shown them around.

For wedding guests, it's a common courtesy to not wear white to a wedding as to not match or potentially outshine the bride. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for one woman who showed up to a wedding in a blue dress — the very same color the bride was wearing!

Minnesota Nice, it's a thing, seems to have taken to the road, as one Minnesota Sheriff's Office is reminding people that there is nothing wrong with using the zipper merge correctly, and it will actually save us some time when we have to reduce lanes because of construction. The Chisago...
