Before leaving Charlotte and hitting the road to the Twin Cities, I went to go visit my 96-year-old grand grandmother on my mother’s side of the family. She’s all swagged out in her pink hat and AKA shirt.

Stopped in Indianapolis last night on my way to the Twin Cities, and before I get back on the road I grabbed brunch with the brother Jeremy Jenkins ! I connected with this brother my senior year of college on how to land my first job in TV.

Meet Wendy Guzman, a staple at Bogey's Lounge bar for nearly 3 decades. She’s known for her tacos every Wednesday at Bogeys. She was recently diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer, and now the family she’s built with staff and regulars at Bogeys are coming to together to help.

20 years ago today was the worst day of my life, the day my father passed away. 20 years later, it still feels like it happened just yesterday. I still have memories of his laugh and voice, and playing games in our yard with him. Rest in peace, Daddy. ✊🏽

St. Paul skyline and candid photos of me smiling, happy to be in the Twin Cities. When you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. Happy Tuesday!

This afternoon’s walk, Lake Nokomis. What a beautiful walk and view. I enjoy exploring The Land of 10,000 Lakes and what it has to offer!

Everyone meet Joshua! He recognized me while I was grocery shopping in Whole Foods. He asked, “Are you taking selfies with people yet?” I said, “I haven’t yet.” He said, “Can I be your first one.”

Just like that, the Eagles are going to the Super Bowl! I'm getting emotional here. 20 years ago when my father passed away that's season the Eagles went to the Super Bowl in 2005. 20 years later they're going again. I get to see the Eagles go 4 times #FlyEaglesFly

I got asked to come into work early today to go sledding and play in the snow. I PROMISE you I did work today. But I had to have fun with the biggest snowfall in the Twin Cities this winter season.
