 I grew up in Benzie County on Champion Hill Farm, where my parents cared for 200 beehives and sold local, organic honey. After going to college in Evanston, IL, and working in California for about a decade, I chose to move back to be closer to my family. I have had the privilege and opportunity to travel all over the world for work and adventure: I\u2019ve visited Indonesia, Bolivia, South Africa, Morocco, Italy, India, Sweden, and beyond. I feel so lucky to have family and community in this beautiful place we call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love bringing my kids to the \u201cbig lake\u201d every sunny weekend of the summer. We always have our beach bag packed and ready. I\u2019m lucky both my kids love water as much as I do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s tough because there are so many great options! For breakfast and coffee, it\u2019s either Hexenbelle or Bubbie\u2019s Bagels. For lunch, Raduno, Spanglish, or the Good Bowl. For dinner, I enjoy the Filling Station for a casual, kid-friendly vibe, or Modern Bird if I\u2019m looking for something a bit more upscale. I once met a food blogger who had traveled all over France in search of the best croissant in the world. When he found out I was from Traverse City, he shared that the best croissant was from Nine Bean Rows in Leelanau County! So that says something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many customers aren\u2019t aware of the rebates we can get for electric lawnmowers, snow blowers, smart thermostats, heating systems, and other energy-saving appliances and equipment. What a great way to pay for household appliances and save money on gas once you do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Medio Oeste es \u00fanico, ya que contamos con numerosas empresas de servicios p\u00fablicos municipales y cooperativas el\u00e9ctricas comunitarias que suministran energ\u00eda p\u00fablica. Existe una gran diferencia entre lo que podemos hacer como una empresa de servicios p\u00fablicos comunitaria y una que es propiedad de inversionistas. Esto significa que todo el dinero que gastamos en electricidad e internet de alta velocidad se reinvierte en nuestra comunidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My daily walks with my dog remind me why Traverse City is such a wonderful place to live. We love to explore our neighborhood parks and green spaces, but we especially enjoy the trails at Hickory. I also love our downtown restaurants and shops, the farmers market, and our local arts scene. From the National Writers Series to cultural events at Interlochen Arts Academy, there\u2019s always something fun happening here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traverse City has always held a special place in my heart. My family is from Charlevoix and I grew up in the thumb, frequently making trips up north to see family and enjoy nature. We moved here 5 years ago from Denver after deciding we wanted to be close to family again. Traverse City checks all the boxes, on the water, active recreational community, regional amenities and a walkable\u00a0distance to the lake.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
