My-oh-my it is hot outside. I'm not complaining at all, but it is steamy! A glimpse of things to come? I hope it is a nice summer and I also home that it is a nice weekend. A big weekend is coming up. Do you have any plans for the weekend? I think my family and I are just going to hang out at home and get some things done. I'm having a garage sale in June so I need to work on getting that organized!
The newest issue of the Local Biz is at the printers and will be out by the end of the weekend. I'm hoping to get it out to the world by the end of the day on Friday. At least I hope!
Check out my radio show on Thursday morning at 8:30am on WIXK AM1590 and get a sneak peak of the new issue! I'm very excited and proud. The Local Biz is on fire and I can't wait for you to see it.
I think that is it for now. Not a whole lot going on this week - but I will be back towards the end of the week to give you the 411 on the weekend. I'm having lunch with some girlfriends on Friday so I will be anxious to tell you all about lunch at the Hammond Hotel. I'm sure it will yummy as always!
Til then.............................

It's already flying past...
It seems like yesterday was just Monday! Now it's already Thursday, wow I love this weather! I plan on staying outside as much as possible this weekend!
there is plenty going on this weekend - starting with a free fireworks display and live music at the Coachman Supper Club in Baldwin, WI. This event is sponsored by Fireworks Outlet also located, in Baldwin. (Be sure to use that coupon in the Local Biz this month for a great deal on some fireworks!) It's kind of a down weekend before all the craziness starts for Memorial Weekend so take advantage of this free event!
Also going on this weekend, the Hammond Hotel has S&S Power Karaoke on Saturday night starting at 9am. So another great way to relax, have some good food and listen to some people make fools of themselves OR hear some locals sound good!
I can't believe the month is almost over. The June issue of the Local Biz is currently in press and we plan to have it out by next weekend so you can pick up a copy and read over your Memorial weekend vacation! I'm very excited and proud of this issue. I am getting great response from many and more and more people calling about advertising in the Biz!!!
As far as my 3/50 project goes, I'm happy to say that I spent more than my $50! Between Mother's Day brunch at Parkside and stopping at Olson's Woodville Meats for some tasty dinner treats, and Roberts Grocery Store, I spent plenty, which I'm also proud to tell you. And of course, the occasional stop at a coffee shop or two!
That's it for now, enjoy your weekend and talk to you soon!

For A Good Cause...
Hello Everyone! This is a short little note that there is a great fundraiser taking place this afternoon. It is a Relay-For-Life Fundraiser and that is always a reason to take note. It is happening tonight from 5-8pm at 1012 Cardinal Circle in Hudson, WI. It is an Open House with 4 local Artists that all happen to be jewelers. A percentage of all the sales will be donated to the American Cancer Society via the Relay-For-Life – Bethal Lights for the Cure Team. It is for the Hudson Relay for Life which happens June 25 & 26. This open house is hosted by Laura Butler and Jane Nicol ( a friend of mine and reason for me to promote this). There will be complimentary refreshments and light snacks. You could shop for yourself and get a gift for a friend, maybe even a grad gift??? The artists featured are Jessica Betzold – Beaded Jewelry, Jane Nicol – Mixed Metal Jewelry, Monique Parent – Fused Glass Jewelry, Paula Rabens – Recycled Fused Glass Jewelry.
More to come soon……………………….

Steak and Lunch
Let me tell you...it doesn't take long to spend $50 in our local market when you put your mind to it. Whether it's a cup of coffee/latte at a local coffee shop or lunch at Bo's in River Falls. I'm not having any problems at all spending my money locally. You should try it!
I have to say that I went to Olson's Woodville Meats on Tuesday to talk to Carol there and drop off some Local Bizes. I got 2 huge rib eye steaks and some awesome homemade brats. They were fabulous and I don't know why it has taken me so long to get back there and buy my meat! Well now I will be getting there at least once a month to drop off Local Bizes so I will have to keep buying those yummy steaks!
Let's see, what else! As I said on Monday, we went to Parkside for Mother's Day, but I didn't get to spend any time with my mom on Mother's Day so I took her to Bo's 'N Mine for lunch on Wednesday. Great food and nice atmosphere. I'm not sure if it is smoke free in there, but I didn't' even smell any smoke! That was awesome since Cash was with us. And I think I had a trip to Roberts Grocery Store this week as well so I believe that my $50 is already spent! So...I guess any more money I spend is just a plus for our community!
This weekend there are a few great things going on. First off, in Woodville, the Syttende Mai celebration is going on today (Thursday through Saturday) and second, in Hudson, the Yellowstone Trail Days will be going on Friday through Sunday. Check out more information about this on my website www.thelocalbizonline.com.

Mother's Day - the day after!
Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day and to those the it applies to, Happy Belated Mother's Day! For mother applies to many, whether you had a baby or just a dog, you are a mother so celebrate!
I myself had a super Mother's Day. Much better than last year when I laid on the couch with a terrible case of strep throat. That was a BAD DAY! But long forgotten with a beautiful day spent with my boys. We went to church and then to Parkside in Hammond for brunch, then we went home for a short time to play outside and then we took a drive to Stockmans, the Cady Cheese Factory then the grocery store. It was a really nice day? How was your day?
I have to say that the brunch at Parkside was good, and I was told by Lisa, the managing waitress, that it was really busy there on Saturday night and busy off and on on Sunday, so that was good! You should try dinner or a pizza at Parkside in Hammond. They deliver if you live in or near Hammond - just an FYI!
So we start another wonderful week. How are you spending your money and time this week!
My blog is short today only because it is Monday and I've got lots going on - chat with you soon!

Let's talk about jeans...
Let's talk about jeans - I'm one of millions of people trying to get into shape. My story begins with loosing quite a bit of wait between baby 1 and baby 2. After feeling really good about myself, I got pregnant and gained it all back - Thanks Cash! (just kidding, not his fault) So now I'm pretty much back to square one, at least I was a couple of months ago. Now I'm back on the workout trail and feeling much better. I'm trying to eat better and working out at least 30 minutes almost every day of the week. And I proud to say that I've drop a jean size.
What does this have to do with the Local Biz and spending money? If you are a woman, you know how hard that is and how terrifying jean shopping can be. Yesterday, I stopped in to see my friend and great supporter, Jennifer at Serendipity in Baldwin, WI. I've been working with her for a long time. I do a lot of her design work. I needed a new pair of jean and I went there because I'm not going to spend some big bucks on a pair of jeans I'm hoping that I'm out of in a month or two (at the latest) so I grabbed 4 pairs hoping at least one would fit. And to my surprise, I found three of the four to fit. Yeah me!!! So I left there with three pairs of brand name jeans for under $30 bucks! Talk about a great wait to start out my 3/50 Project for the month of May!
You have to stop by Serendipity and check out all the great deals and brand names Jennifer has. She is located on main street on the northside. She is open Tuesday through Friday from noon to 8pm and on Saturday from 9 to 5pm. If you have questions, please call her at 715-688-3570. I'm hoping to be in there, like I said, in a month or two and ready to get a new pair of jeans one size smaller!
I have to tell you that I was in Roberts Grocery store again this week getting chicken! It was yummy. I'm serious, make the big trek to downtown Roberts, WI, stop into the Sidetrack and have a cold beverage, have dinner at Carbone's and stop at Roberts Grocery Store to get some chicken for Saturday night!
And one last thought before I end this blog today, Don't forget, Sunday is Mother's Day. Have you gotten your mom anything yet? Try to make it a good one for her. I know my mom deserved the best day ever! Pick up the latest issue of the Local Biz and see what we have to offer you for ideas on Mother's Day OR go to our website www.thelocalbizonline.com and you can read Mother's Day stories there too!!!
Til next time...toot-a-loo...
