Delivered testimony in honor of mom (Rekha) & dad (Harshad) to ensure state provided #PaidLeaveMN Immigrant families face ESL issues, unclear systems, & unreliable emplmt & need resources to take care of families. #mnleg @VShabo @aarpmn @AARP @CaringAcrossGen @RCICaregiving
Testifying today is @PaurviBhatt: "I cobbled together limited time and flexibility to keep my career afloat while translating doctor calls, navigating business travel, clearing up family confusion, and making critical financial decisions." We need #PaidLeaveMN now. #mnleg
#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. nyti.ms/3FnFeoC

This family is loving the MN snow, even the little one in the "stroller." #mnsnow
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
