A Little West Metro Link Love

Here are some things that I am reading and loving around the internet that pertain to the West Metro.  Well, to be specific - West-ish Metro.  I have yet to find any bloggers out here!  If you are one, let me know!

Awesome bloggers

  • Jennifer Emmert of Minneapolis talks candidly about being a Priorfatgirl.  Her journey started in 2007, and now she is rocking her hot new look and lifestyle!  She lets us peek into her life and offers resources for cooking and healthy eating (50 recipes for $5!), motivation, and working out and exercising.  
  • Micaela is a Mindful Momma who is a stay-at-home mom living in Minneapolis.  She is feeding my green side with practical ideas and local resources.    
Awesome resources
  • When I get the time I look around Twin Cities MomsLikeMe.  The discussion forums are very active. 
  • Rick Kupchella's BringMeTheNews offers a fresh idea for keeping up on local news.  It brings together the most relevant local news stories around a particular topic including nontraditional news sources like industry reports, experts and blogs.  For example, on the front page today are stories related to the rain (you still dry??) from two community newspapers, the Star Tribune, KSTP/Channel 5, the DOT, and the National Weather Service.  
  • PocketYourDollars is run by money-saving genius Carrie Rocha, who lives in Minneapolis.  She made a commitment with her husband in 2006 to be debt-free (digging out of debt, then living cash-only going forward), and learned alot along the journey that she now shares with others through her daily blog and website.  She is also a speaker and appears on local TV stations.
What bloggers do you follow?  What do you read to stay up to date on news and events?
