Four of us gathered today to help sort toys for families in need and honestly, I was actually fun. Laughter, teamwork, and holiday cheer in full swing! Minnesota hearts really do shine bright this time of year. 💛 Thank you to everyone who showed up (and to those cheering us on from afar). This community keeps proving that connection isn’t just about showing up online. It’s about showing up in person. Let’s keep this energy rolling into the new year. Who’s in for our next IRL adventure? 🙌

@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!!!!!

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. ❄️💫

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. 💫

We’ve got TWO fun things coming up: 🧘‍♀️ Skool Wellness IRL - a holiday-themed hangout with a short wellness chat + plenty of time to meet awesome humans. 🍽️ Volunteer Night at Open Arms MN in partnership with The JOY Project - come pack meals, spread joy, and make a real impact together. Both are in the Events/Calendar tab - go peek and RSVP with a DM to me if you haven’t yet. 🙌 Now I want to hear from YOU… What kind of IRL events would you love to see more of in 2026? 👉 POLL QUESTION: Which event should we plan next? Drop your vote in the poll + any wild/fun/crazy-but-awesome ideas below. This is OUR Minnesota community! Let’s build it together, one joyful meetup at a time. 🌟
