About me November 7, 2007
I’m 20-something, married, and a new mom to a sweet baby girl. I grew up in northwestern Minnesota (the part with lots of beet fields that nobody ever visits) and now live in the Twin Cities metro area (Minneapolis/St. Paul). I love Minnesota’s lakes, trees and sunsets. And even the beet fields. I love my husband, who is also from Minnesota. And my new little daughter has me wrapped around her finger.
My passions are reading, art in its many forms, and health. And I love cookies. Lots of cookies. Does that go with health? Probably not. But I loves ‘em anyway…
I’d love to hear from you. Email me at mnmomblog (at) gmail (dot) com
Heidi, it’s me Carrie! I think I found your blog from a comment you made on Jen Berg’s blog…. somehow I found yours before you announced it to the SG!
Mine blog is pretty lame right now, but hopefully over the next months/years it will be a more exciting read. 
It was great to see you today! -Carrie H.
Hi Heidi! I love your blog… your baby girl is adorable!!
Anyways… I live in Minneapolis!! I have a 7 year old son and a 1 year old daughter.
Nice to “meet” ya!

Minnesota!
I am probably related to half the state. My dad grew up in New Ulm and has a huge family. I’ve been there once—very green, unlike here.
I lived in MinneSoOOOta for 4 years when I was just out of college. Right downtown on 7 corners. Yikes! It wasn’t as scarey then but still scarey. I worked for Price Waterhouse (public acct firm).
I now live in NW Iowa about 2 hours from Gretchen’s (above commenter) relatives.
I still have several friends up there, infact we were there in November to celebrate my little boy’s 11th birthday at the MOA (we do that every year - - seriously need to find a new trick for this old mom - man the noise’ll kill ya after 6-8 hours).
Nice to meet a northern neighbor!
we have “met” today thru posting on eacthothers blogs, but I thought I would offically say hi! I also live in MN…I LOVE it! I am in Cambridge, but spend alot of time in the cities. I am a photographer (mostly weddings) and the majority of them are in the cities!
I love your lay out…what is wordpress? I love it!
I am going to copy you and do a “my 100 things” post!

Hello! I stumbled upon your blog from a link on Antique Mommy’s blog. I spent the first 23 years of my life in MN - Mankato to be exact
Hubby and I moved to CO right after got married and we’ve been here ever since (12 years!!!). I love Colorado, but oh how I miss water, and the color green, and snow, and winter. I do not, however, miss bugs, humidity, and tornadoes. I’ll definitely be back to see what’s happenin’ in The Cities 
Go Twins!
Hi Minnesota Mom!
Came across your blog today reading blogs profusely as I do daily…a dirty little habit of mine…and wanted to say “hi” from another NEW Minnesota mom! Just moved here 7 months ago (from Indiana) and let me tell you, it sure has been interesting! My kids are 10 and 7 and we are looking forward to spring/summer for our first time here. Anyway, lovely blog! I’ll be checking in from time to time.

Oh man! Your mention of the beet fields brought me right back to my college days in Moorhead. I grew up in SE MN, and had never smelled ANYTHING quite like beets being processed. Still haven’t (thank goodness!).
I moved to PA 8 years ago and I don’t think that I could survive another MN winter, no matter how much my family would like to have us back there.
Found my way here from your comments over at One Thing.
I grew up in NW Minnesota! Warren to be exact. I’m in Fargo now, but wishing to move rural again… two kids ages 3 and 10 weeks.
Hi Minnestota mom,
I was born a raised in MN. My family is still there. We had to move because of my husbands job. We live in Charleston SC. It is really beautiful and green like MN , but ya just don’t hop into a lake like ya do up north! (I have been here three years now.)Look for me on Flicker and you will understand. I MISS MINNESOTA!!! It’s a great place to raise a family. I was from St. Louis Park. I love cookies, and bake all the time. I like to bake bars also. I’m told that’s a MN thing. MN has beautiful grocery stores, when I tell people about Beyerly’s and Lunds they think I’m joking. They also think I’m kidding about drive through pick up. They call grocery carts, buggy’s. In the South people are very polite and call me Miss Sharon. I used to smile, now I keep thinking of driving Miss Daisy. Yikes!!!
I will be back to visit soon enough and more often! It’s a different cookie down here.
Take Care,
Sharon
