Sources tell me that Hyvee is clearing out the Carson Wentz cereal.

It's also being reported that some of the boxes are damaged and broken. Those boxes are being put back on the shelf for sale at the request of head coach Kevin O'Connell. #SKOL

Due to last night's traumatic Minnesota Vikings game, I'm calling in sick to work today.

Here's the note I will be presenting to HR. Feel free to use it yourself and pass on to others who may suffer similar afflictions.

Today is #CeliacAwarenessDay.

Many of you know I have a child who is a Celiac. It can be challenging and was life changing for us. If you ever have questions or just looking for GF recipes, I’d be glad to share what we’ve learned. 💚

If any businesses out there looking to get their name and logo on a sponsorship, message me.
