ICYMI: KAKE is parting ways with me after 11 years. It is not my choice to leave. I ❤️ my job. Since finding out, I've found ways to shine: sharing in-depth stories, winning a @RTDNA Murrow & 2 @HeartlandEmmy awards. There's more --> bit.ly/46iXjAm #Journalism

CHARITY PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT. There is this GREAT pickleball tournament taking place April 25, but I'll be honest... it's struggling to get people on board. Can you help me get word out?

Those are great, and it's the best way to explain it too. People leaving complaints about meteorologists who interrupt programming -- nah. We don't need any of that. Our inbox this weekend was ridiculous. I will always go to bat for my mets. They're providing potentially life-saving information. Let's let them do what they do best. And yes, I will say it louder for people in the back.

MY HEART IS FULL, Y'ALL! It was so much fun hosting the big garage sale last week at my church in northeast Wichita. Thanks to all of our volunteers who helped make it a hit. Also, to @GoodwillIntl for loaning the clothing racks and to Bel Aire Secure Storage for giving us a space to keep our items. It was such a hit, we are thinking about having a second sale. Who wants to go?? BOWLING BENEFIT: In the meantime, we have a bowling benefit this Sunday, March 29. I would love to add another 20 bowlers to our roster to help us reach our goal. Would you like to join us? It's $50 for 2 hours of bowling, noon to 2 p.m. Lunch and snacks are included. We also get $10 in arcade play per person.

RAISING MONEY IN HONOR OF MOM AND DAD. I've had the honor of getting to know Trang Reid, who is dedicating the next couple of months to help people who are fighting cancer. She's raising money for @BloodCancerUtd too, and she is doing this in honor of her mom (breast cancer survivor) and her dad (who passed after having cancer.) She's also coworkers with Pam, our Honored Hero for this year's campaign. I hope to be able to document Pam's story on the news for you. Her son had cancer, and then many years later, she was diagnosed. The way this has touched their family -- gosh, you just want to fight for them every step of the way. Speaking of fighting for a great cause... Two dates to save. 1. Today, @PandaExpress has a national giveback for people who eat there. Any location in the county. We get 33% of sales for people who use the Fundraiser Code 9014000. 2. Come to Bubba's 33 - Wichita, KS on April 21. They have this MEGA giveback day. Look for updates: facebook.com/share/1E2aFmM7… #PandaExpress #GivebackDay #Fundraiser #Bubbas33 #Cancer #BloodCancer

It’s Friday, I’m in love.

EAT PANDA EXPRESS THIS FRIDAY — MARCH 27, 2026!! Why? 33% of your purchase will go to support @BloodCancerUnited. A great deal. We are getting orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, Beijing beef and more at @PandaExpress. I also love the super green veggies with my steamed rice. Yum! Add some of that spicy hot mustard sauce. Delicious. WHERE: You can order ANYWHERE in the U.S. you need to use fundraiser code 9014000. We have giveback days on April 27 and May 27. I’ll share those giveback codes when we get closer! Yay! #pandaexpress #chinesefood #giveback #eatout #foodie

I hosted a 3-day garage sale & we just installed an appliance in our kitchen. My husband & I are truly testing our marriage. ;)

Rally House is the official K-State team store and gives K-State fans a great opportunity to directly support their favorite K-State student-athletes by buying official NIL merchandise. Please remember to support K-State student-athletes.

@TimothyVau4683 @KWCH12 @wibw Hello!

I blame @maxwelldutton for my first @KWCH12 blooper. We were talking behind-the-scenes and I thought I had a few minutes to spare. Yeah... about that... Considering I ran across the studio, I think I did a nice job. Yes, pats on the back for me. Please and thank you. ;) Enjoy the laugh! I'll see you all at 9 a.m. tomorrow on KWCH and @WIBW. #KWCH #KansasNow #Blooper #Whoops #AMNewsers
