The weather has been fantastic lately in Minnesota; is it officially spring here? We all know how unpredictable the weather can be, especially in Minnesota. Second winter is always a possibility. However, I am enjoying the warming temperatures while I can. The first official day of spring was on...
Last week and over the weekend, many areas across the United States saw extreme weather events and various storms. Tornadoes struck parts of the Midwest and southern United States over the weekend of Friday, March 31 to Sunday, April 2. There were an estimated eleven tornadoes over the weekend...
I think Minnesota Wild fans thought it would be difficult for the team after Kirill Kaprizov got injured. He currently has a lower-body injury, and the team has been carrying on without him. Kaprizov is undoubtably the Minnesota Wild’s best player. Despite losing their best player, the Minnesota...
On Thursday, March 16, Xcel Energy released a press release regarding a leak that was detected back in November. Allegedly, there was a contaminated water leak, but it did not get into any drinking water. I’ve never lived near a power plant or anything similar before. It does seem odd that...

I watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 12, while it was on live. I watched with my parents, younger brother Ethan, and my husband Ryan, at my parents’ house. We were all routing for the Kansas City Chiefs to win. We have family in Kansas City (one aunt on my dad’s side, and her children-my...
Like many of you, I read the news on Friday, February 3, that there was a Chinese spy balloon floating over the United States. I read the headline and thought it had to be a gag story or some kind of joke. Maybe someone saw something in the sky and thought it was watching them, but I couldn’t take...
