I'm absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news - Fresh Roots Living and I are featured on the cover of Minneapolis Lakes magazine!
This beautiful 4-page story captures the heart of everything we're building together in this community. From our 18-acre DIY Designer Homestead to the simple philosophy that guides Fresh Roots Living: "beauty without burden, connection without complication, and homes that nourish the soul without demanding perfection."
The magazine beautifully captured how this newsletter was born from the intersection of my real estate expertise and our farm-to-table lifestyle with Steve and our blended family. It highlights some of our favorite Fresh Roots content - from 10-minute tablescapes to my "Building Jewels, Not Giants" approach to home design.
What touched me most about the article was how it emphasized our commitment to making beautiful experiences accessible. As I told the magazine, "I'm creating content that delivers beautiful experiences in approachable ways." That's exactly what we're doing here together.
Whether you've been with us from the beginning or just joined our community, this feature represents everything we believe in - that the most beautiful life is often the simplest one, and that small, intentional choices can create profound beauty.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Here's to cultivating more healthy and beautiful experiences together!
With gratitude, Cari Ann
