Edition 26While last month's Design Challenge and anniversary celebration left us counting our blessings, it also had us sending up a few extra prayers. This year has been devastating for so many local farmers, and a nearly impossible harvest added insult to injury. In awe of their dedication, this Thanksgiving, I want to say, "Thank you" to all the hardworking farmers in my life; my dad, older brother, uncle and grandpa (retired, but forever a farmer). Our prayers to all of the farmers and their families in the surrounding communities.
Edition 25We like any reason to throw a party, but this past month, Susan and I have two years of reasons to celebrate, and thousands to thank. To show our gratitude in style, we gathered friends, family, readers, team members and supporters to the beautiful rooftop of Pioneer Place in West Fargo.
Edition 24If we've ever had a milestone month, this is it. September's issue is number 24 - marking two full years since our first issue in October of 2017. It's been a wild ride, and like I've said on many occasions, a leap of faith my publisher Susan, and I have loved. To mark the occasion, we're inviting everyone to our 2nd Annual Design Challenge and anniversary celebration on September 12th at Pioneer Place in West Fargo. This is an event to thank our readers, celebrate our team, and showcase the talents of some of Fargo-Moorhead's most elite designers. If you need more incentive to attend, we'll also be serving food by Chef's Table and desserts by Nichole's Fine Pastry.
Edition 23This month, we racked up the miles in search of the magical. Somewhere between North Fargo pool houses and golf courses, Otter Tail Lake, Detroit Lakes, and Lake Eunice, we found creative heaven. With cameras ready and glasses of wine perched, we raced to the end of the dock, spent more time barefoot than in shoes, beat sunsets to the punch...and finally basked in capturing its glow.
Edition 22This editorial is the last thing I write in every issue...eek. After countless sleep-deprived nights, it's truly the worst possible time to share my brain fog of left-over thoughts, but I refuse to do it any other way. I just Googled "best ways to detox from coffee"...asking for a friend, of course.
Edition 21Not only does June have us celebrating our amazing dads, but it also marks my daughter Elle's 10th birthday, my 40th birthday (I'm not crying, you're crying), and my husband and my's 13th wedding anniversary. Oh, I forgot to mention, this all happens in an eight-day span. For someone who just qualified for a mid-life crisis, that's far more celebrating than even I can handle. Not to worry, I have a plan. I'll fuel up on the sugar-fest of frosting and pack my bags for the lake - after all, how else are we going to get July's lake home issue done?
Edition 20With Mother's Day right around the corner, I felt the need to thank the two amazing mothers in my life; my mom, Diane Kutzer and my mother-in-law, Pat Nicholson. One birthed and raised me, while the other got stuck with me after her son fell for me...ha. For the past few years, I've tried to do it all; following in the steps of my own mom, but never really grasping her endless energy and flawless ironing technique. I do my best to raise two active kids, be a domestic diva, chase a deadline-driven career, be a good friend, wife, mom, and daughter - but it's never easy...
Edition 19I write my editorial about 10 days before the newest issues hit the stands. No big deal, right? Residing in one of the country's most unpredictable climates, I'm always hesitant to mention things like the great March melt when I have yet to know the outcome. My fingers are crossed and hands are praying that when this new issue arrives, you won't need to swim to the store to get it. Regardless of what April showers us with, we're adopting a sunny state-of-mind and purposefully dwelling on bright, fresh and floral. Right now, a splash of vibrant color, is exactly what our hearts and homes need.
Edition 18I hate to disappoint those who clearly don't know me very well and thought I was going to devote my editorial to basketball, ha; I left that interest and my mediocre court skills in high school. Trust me, it was for the best. My "March Madness" is less sporty and more laser-focused on our mad rush to spring. We just stepped away from another awesome Giving Hearts Day, the RRV Home & Garden Show, as well as a big win at the ND Ad Federation Awards! Special thanks to my husband, Mike Nicholson, for designing and building our now award-winning, life-size magazine! Find us at events throughout the year and make sure to swing by, pop your best pose and snag your cover shot.
Edition 17It's February, and it's fabulous - yeah, we've never heard anyone say that either. Ok, so this month doesn't have the excitement of a Thanksgiving feast or the anticipation of Santa, but there is something special about a month that signifies the start to an end of a particularly cold winter. In the midst of our frosty February, there's Valentine's Day, Ladies Night Out at The Pines, Unglued: Craft Fest, President's Day, Coffee & Cocoa Crawl, Fargo Hotdish Festival and of course, the Red River Valley Home & Garden Show. So, although the weather is less than inviting, Fargo-Moorhead's welcome has never been warmer.
Edition 16If January reflects the first blank pages in our 12-chapter book chronicling 2019, I'm probably not off to a great start (insert Netflix). After a whirlwind 2018, and our first full year as magazine publishers, Susan and I needed a vaca. Instead of actually taking one, we designed our first issue of the new year to be all about local folks who live two fabulous lives; one on the prairie, and one under the palm trees (insert envy).
