While at Panera this afternoon, wearing my cheese balls of course, a woman came up to me and asked if I was “THE Cheese Ball Chick”. “Like, the real one”, she said. After confirming that I was, she got teary eyed and told me that her daughter heard me speak at an event several months [...]

That’s right! I am now allowed to tell you that I will be on national television in less than one month! Be sure to tune in to ABC at 8/7 Central to watch me take spills and falls and compete for $50,000 on the popular tv show, Wipeout.

Last month my husband and I had the opportunity of a lifetime. Although we spoke at the Christian Academy of Guatemala and hiked an active volcano neither is the opportunity I am referring to. The opportunity and highlight of my year was when Craig and I were able to meet our sponsor child through a [...]

The cheese balls were a hit on the streets of Antigua! My snack pack was a hit among young and old! It didn’t take long for a crowd to gather as I dispensed cheese balls into precious little hands. This adorable girl followed me around the shops and brought her little brother and friends to [...]

While at the Great Minnesota Get Together (State Fair), I ran into this family who told me they met me last year at the fair. Turns out that they had a conversation about me prior to coming this year. The kids suggested they may run into me again, but dad was pessimistic. He bet them [...]

Cal, the director of engineering at Goodrich, was planning a cheese ball themed work picnic for his crew when he stumbled upon my website. Intrigued, he took the chance with an email and invited me to be the special guest at their picnic. I am SO glad I went! By request, my brother Andy and [...]
