As a long-time resident of Minnesota, I’ve pretty much made my peace with winter. I don’t love it, but I can tolerate it. Since becoming a mom, however, I’ve discovered a whole new disdain for the cold and snowy months that revolves around… grocery shopping.
I’m not sure which is worse—pushing a cart full of groceries through the snow, or dragging kids and and out of stores when the temps are below zero. And when BOTH snow and sub-zero temps arrived on my typical grocery shopping day this week, I figured it was time to give Walmart’s free grocery pickup a try. 🙂 And let me tell you, ladies, I may never go back!
This post is part of a series celebrating STMA moms who’ve turned their passions into unique local businesses. You can read past #mompreneur articles by clicking here.

When I moved to the STMA area two years ago, I began hearing about St. Michael Boutique right away and assumed they were a long-standing business in the area. Little did I know then that they, too, were a new face in the community!
St. Michael mom Kim Baldwin opened the boutique in 2015 alongside her friend, Donna. “It was a little girl dream of mine to open a boutique,” Kim shared as she gave me a tour of her store.
Earlier this week I mentioned that it’s “Shop Local Week” in STMA. (You can read more about the value of shopping at local businesses at stmamom.com/shoplocal.)
Here are five of MY favorite places to “shop local” in St. Michael–Albertville:
It’s Shop Local Week in St. Michael–Albertville, seven days dedicated to the celebration of local businesses and to keeping our shopping dollars in our own community.
Why shop local?
- Because shopping local strengthens the local economy
- Dollars spent local, stay local
- Locally owned businesses create jobs

- Local business owners invest in the community
