It could not have been a more beautiful weekend to explore Detroit with my mom. For her, it was one of the first times seeing all the city had to offer. Well overdue!! Happy Monday all. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer like temps while they last!! ☀️
This is my annual “the snow is pretty but I’m ready for summer” post. I miss reading a good book in the sun. How about you? Are you loving the snow or ready for warmer weather? ❄️ PS - Took my coat off just for the pic. Gotta do it for the gram.
I’M BACK!! Just in time for a nasty morning commute. We’re talking light snow, sleeting, freezing drizzle. It’s creating slippery conditions. Be careful if you do have to drive this morning. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for a majority of our area until 4:00pm. 🧊🚙
Merry Christmas to all those working today. I’m right there with ya!! We have a 6am on WXYZ and a 7am on TV-20 Detroit. I’ll be here catching you up on the news, including tracking Santa’s sleigh. 🗞️ 📺🎅🏻

Excuse the messy hair and the sweaty face, but this moment was too exciting not to capture!! Yesterday I got the keys to MY FIRST HOUSE!!!!! Words can’t describe how excited I am to be setting roots here in metro Detroit.
Back in front of the green screen this morning after a four day weekend!! Feeling better after getting plenty of rest. Happy Monday all!! How was your weekend? 💚

It’s the last work day of 2023!! What are your new year resolutions for 2024? Mine is to take control of my health, and learn more healthy, simple recipes to cook at home (they also have to be tasty 😋). Thank you all for all the support this year. Sending love 🤟🏻

If I seem a little bit off my A game, it’s cause I am. I’ve been sick on and off for a month now. Finally went to the doctor yesterday to get an upgrade from this giant bag of cough drops to medication. I’ve been stressed, even a little down, but brighter days are ahead.❤️🩹
It’s a good time to be a football fan and live in Michigan!! The Wolverines take on the Washington Huskies tonight in the College Football Playoff. Also, the Lions will host their first playoff game in 30 years against the LA Rams on Sunday. Two incredible matchups!! 🏈💙
My coworkers were teasing me today for my “Grimace” look. Do I look like Grimace? Yes. Do I think I can pull it off? Also, yes. Happy purple Tuesday 💜

Perks of working the morning after the election, free pizza. Sure it’s reheated left overs, but free always taste good 🍕🤪. Happy Wednesday all!! How is your week going?

It’s hard to believe, but a few days ago marked FIVE YEARS since I’ve been working for

! When I started, I was freelance for the summer. I figured if I could get my foot in the door, and worked hard, good things would happen.
The whole crew is back together today, which means I’m focusing on traffic! Several projects kicking off, including at NB I-75 and 12 Mile where the exit ramp is closing, and Inkster is closing down at I-696. I’ll have the details all morning long. Hope you join us! ☀️🚦🚘
New favorite household duty, mowing the lawn 🏡. This is my first year doing it on my own, and I find it to be so therapeutic. Nothing like a fresh cut before a little rain ☔️. Happy Monday all!! Hope you got all your household chores done 🙂.

Took a long weekend to spend some time with my Momma! Went shopping, got some home decor tips, and enjoyed a night on the town. Hope everyone else had a good weekend too!! 💙💚

Finally feeling a little bit better after being home sick since Thursday afternoon. It’s been brutal, I’ve been sick three times in the last three months! People have been giving me a lot of advice to feel better. For example, drink Vernors. What’s your go to when your sick?🥤
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!!! Every Star Wars fan has pretended to own a real lightsaber at one point. Jabba the Hutt doesn’t stand a chance against these moves. I’ll be patiently waiting for my call from George Lucas. 🌌

Had to do a throwback today because this month marks 10 years since I began my career in news!! This is a picture of me right before I interviewed in Lima, Ohio to work for WLIO. It’s been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi clinks to you! I know I’m probably alone in drinking a 4:00 a.m. pop, but I’m treating myself to all the glories of the company kitchen before my VACATION! I’m off tomorrow and all next week. What are your plans for the 4th? 🏝️🍒
Thank you to Downtown magazine in Birmingham/Bloomfield for featuring me in their September publication! Always nice feeling apart of this wonderful community. Happy Tuesday everyone 💛

A throwback to this awkward teen. This is me right before a middle school dance. I wish I could tell her that one day she’ll be reading the news, despite having a fear of reading out loud in class. ♥️

Ok I hate the cold, but the perk of fall in Michigan is the leaves changing colors. I got so excited when I got home from work yesterday and noticed the birch tree in my yard is starting to turn a beautiful yellow! 💛🍁Happy Friday everyone!!

Going orange a little early today 🧡. Tomorrow is “Go Orange Day”, to show support for construction workers who put their lives on the line to fix our roads. I’m off tomorrow and the rest of the week, but I at least wanted to show that I, and you, should care about these workers.
Who else has been enjoying this GORGEOUS weather?! ☀️. Yesterday I drove home from work with the window down and sunroof open. We could hit 80 degrees today and tomorrow. Can’t wait to get off work and get outside in the sun. Enjoy!!

I’m here at work but in my mind I’m already on vacation 😎. I’m off all next week!! Planning on spending time with family and getting some much needed rest. Hope you all get to do the same over the holiday weekend ❤️

This morning I want to extend a big thank you to Ken Lingenfelter for letting some of us at Channel 7 check out The Lingenfelter Collection. For me, it was a way to take in a bit of automotive history by viewing this extremely rare collection. Can you tell which one was my fav?
Feeling a bit “homesick” this morning if you will. By that, I mean I miss my big sister! She came to visit me over the weekend, and we had some much needed girl time. French fries with rose wine is a must, and we did get a green beer on St. Patrick’s Day. Love you Jamie 🍷🍟❤️
There are 2 types of people in this world. Those who remember an umbrella, and those who improvise. Can you guess which one I am? ☔️.
@HallyVogelWXYZ
says there is a chance of limited isolated showers, but no severe weather today. However, more rain tomorrow, so remember ☂️
Kansas City, thanks for being a second home. It’s hard to keep up with friends hundreds of miles away, but we make it work! I’m off work this week. Enjoying sleeping in and all the sunshine. 🌇

This is 17-old-year Madisyn Baldwin, she is one of three students killed at Oxford High School yesterday. Her family provides us with this photo. Tate Myer, 16, and Hana St. Juliana, 14, also lost their lives yesterday. Several other students in the hospital this morning.
So I busted out singing in the studio yesterday, and today

To you, I’m sitting on a stump, for me it represents progress. Just marked one year since I bought a home. Boy they can be money pits!! So far though, it’s been worth the ride. Getting rid of this dead 🌲, was a big accomplishment for me!! Thank you all for the support.

Wet roads = more crashes. It is still pretty early, but we already have a semi crash NB 75 at Dix in Lincoln Park, along with a handful of other crashes. According to

, we will have consistent rain until 8:00 this morning. I’ll be on the lookout for crashes. Be safe
My face when I woke up and found out I didn’t win the Mega Millions. The good news, the jackpot is now over one billion dollars 💸!! When you win, what will you do with the money? I’d like to pay off my mortgage, buy a new car, and find a good charity and pay it forward.
Thanks to the manager at Starbucks in Livonia, on Middlebelt near Schoolcraft, for the water! We were trying to snag people for interviews in the heat, so the water was much appreciated. Love running into kind people in our community. 🥰

When the winter storm is hitting AFTER the morning drive 😎. Kevin says the heaviest snow is expected between 5:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m., with as much as 10 inches in some areas! Please be careful driving this afternoon 🚗
Day TWO of wearing dress pants in studio. Usually I go for dresses, but in this cold, no thanks. Have you made any changes this week due to the bitter cold?🥶 The good news,
