@Camille Kurtenbach - I hope you have the best day ever celebrating you!!!!! 🥳❤️🥳 AND …… if you are here and have not yet dropped your birthday ….. why not? We love to celebrate birthdays around here. Let me know when it is so I can get it on the calendar!!!!!

We’re on a mission to grow our MN Skool IRL fam - because joy (and coffee) are way better shared. ☕💛 So here’s the challenge: 👉 Who will YOU invite today? A friend who loves connection? A neighbor who needs a laugh? Someone who says “uff da” unironically? 😂 Tag them, text them, or send them a snowflake emoji - whatever it takes! Let’s make this the coziest, most connected corner of Minnesota. 💫

The holidays are here, and there’s no better time to support the amazing local businesses that make our communities shine. ✨ Drop your favorite Minnesota shops, coffee spots, gyms, artists, or makers below - let’s create the ultimate list of small businesses to support this season. 🛍️☕🎨 Bonus points if you tag the business so others can find them too! Because when we shop local, we don’t just buy gifts - we share joy, build community, and make Minnesota magic happen. ❄️💫

This month, we’re partnering with Avivo and The JOY Project to spread warmth, hope, and joy across our communities. ❄️✨ You can give directly right here - or share your favorite local charity below! Let’s build a list of amazing Minnesota organizations doing good right here at home. 💫 Because when we give together, joy multiplies. 💛

Whether you’re cozied up at home, road-tripping across the state, or sneaking that extra slice of pie (no judgment here 🥧), I hope today reminds you just how much connection matters. I’m grateful for this community - for every smile, post, and real-life moment we’re creating together. You’re proof that joy grows when we gather. 🌟 Wishing you warmth, laughter, and plenty of leftovers. Happy Thanksgiving, friends - from my snowy side of the border to yours. ❄️💛 Rachel PS I am SO excited to meet many of you in person in December and 2026!!!!!
