Bloggers That Write About Lakeville or Minnesota Suburbs South of the Twin Cities

 I think it's cool to read stuff written by local writers. I like to blog and think building a website is really fun. So I am especially interested in reading the blogs of local bloggers.

Unfortunately, there isn't a directory that I'm aware of which curates and organizes bloggers by their home base.

Since it doesn't exist, I figured I would try to collect as many of the local Apple Valley, Lakeville, Farmington, Eagan, Rosemount, Bloomington, Edina, Minnesota bloggers into one place as I can.

This list won't be very long because I haven't found many of them. It is possible that there are many more, but I just haven't come across them.

If you are a Minnesota blogger, or know of a Minnesota blogger that I've missed, please comment with their site info on this post and I will do my best to incorporate them. Thanks in advance!


Mak & Cheese

Mak & Cheese is a blog written by a woman who calls herself MaK. The blog hasn't had a new post since the summer of 2017, but the site is still up, so there is a chance this blogger will return to the keyboard. And even if all that is to be written is already published there, it could be worth checking out.

The blog has a food theme to it. It is about recipes, food reviews, and restaurant reviews.

I found this blog when I found its article reviewing the Lakeville restaurant Barley + Vine Kitchen.


Toys In The Dryer

I actually don't know much about the blog Toys In The Dryer. The author of the blog commented on a post on the Mak & Cheese blog, and it seems that the blogger is from Minnesota.

The About page says the blogger lives in a suburb south of the Twin Cities.

The topics of the blog are parenting, crafts & activites, and treats.


My Annoying Opinions

My Annoying Opinions seems to be written by someone who lives south of the Twin Cities. The about page says that the author is a teacher.

The blog is mostly a whisky review blog, but there are also many articles about food and cooking. They also write a lot of restaurant reviews. There's also a really great subsection where they compile all of the Minnesota restaurant reviews.

I found this blog because the author wrote a review of an Indian restaurant in Apple Valley which has since gone out of business - Darbar India Grill. I really loved the food at Darbar and was really sad when it closed.

The person who writes My Annoying Opinions writes very good reviews and usually includes some great pictures so that you can really experience what it would be like before you go for yourself.


Kathryn Egly

Kathryn Egly writes on a blog with her name as the title. I found this blog while searching town names + blogger.

Kathryn writes book reviews and talks about parenting young boys.

She has even written an illustrated children's book.




Unfortunately, this short list is all I have come across so far. I know there must be more Minnesota bloggers out there, but I haven't yet found them. Again, please recommend any local Minnesota bloggers you know of in the comments. Thanks!

What Is the Purpose of a Blog Post?

Image
When people are new to blogging and they are trying to research what makes a good blog post or how to improve their blog’s performance measures through their content, a certain type of advice comes up almost every time. “Write the BEST content on your article’s topic.” “Make your article better than every other article on the web.” “Make your post the definitive, most detailed resource available.” “If someone finds your article, they shouldn’t need to look for any other information anywhere else because your post will be so complete that they will have learned all they need to learn about the subject.” This is a wildly intimidating goal to set for your content, and unfortunately, while the intention of setting a lofty goal is that you will end up achieving better results for it, what most often happens is that you will develop a fear of failure and that will prevent you from even starting. Which is the worst possible outcome. Even a failure that gets finishe...

The Importance of Entrepreneurship to the Economy and Society

Image
An entrepreneur is a special kind of person.  The entrepreneur is a life/world/reality designer.  The entrepreneur takes what isn’t yet and makes it happen. Someone who is entrepreneurial or chooses the path of entrepreneurship will create the world that others live in.  Where most people must settle for the way things are and must pounce on the job opportunities they see in the world because those are the limit of possibilities for them, the entrepreneur will choose to create opportunities for themselves and others when they do not see the opportunities they wish for. Clearly, I think highly of entrepreneurs. Can Everyone Be An Entrepreneur? I think that there are some people who lack the skills and the mindset to ever be entrepreneurial. They will go through their entire life only taking what other people give to them or allow them the chance to work for. All of their life’s choices are simply what more spirited people have created ...

The Skilled Marketer Paradox: Do Good Marketers Need Jobs?

 Look around the world of work and at job board postings and you will see a ton of positions open for digital marketers. Companies have come to realize how effective and efficient digital media and content marketing can be in generating sales and brand recognition. Now that they see the need for marketing that works for them, they are trying their best to hire marketers to do that work for them . Often in the job postings there will be a requirement for previous experience. Few if any of the open positions will accept applicants with less than 2 years of previous experience doing marketing professionally. Lots of these positions even want 7-9 years experience. And they don't just want experience, they want proven results. They want marketers who can show them how they made an impact on the businesses they have worked for before. They want to see traffic and rankings growth. They want to see sales and conversions growth. But I see this as fundamentally unreasonable and impossible. I...
