#UMNProud of University of Minnesota alumnus #PatriciaSchroeder who fought for women and families and helped transform the workplace for the better. Her legacy lives on.

Patricia Schroeder, a trailblazing feminist legislator who helped redefine the role of women in U.S. politics, died on Monday at 82. She helped steer passage of legislation on family leave, pregnancy discrimination and other progressive causes. https://t.co/sOyTAo3kMf

@suratybal So difficult… but so liberating to let go. You could take a photo of sentimental things and keep that instead.

Going through an old recipe box and came across this recipe for a flummery. What pray tell us that? I guess it is something like a Slump or Grunt, the notecard helpfully informed. What’s the strangest recipe you have in your family stash? #recipes

@lizziestelk Yeah, I'm sure the boys will like that it falls into the globular category. 🐻
