CIRCULATION

My husband John and I started 605 Magazine from our town home

Taija Crawford

in 2008, and published the first issue in January 2009. I was 23 and

Annie Fuss

had absolutely no business starting a business. I literally walked with

Austin Kaus

a binder around Sioux Falls with drawings of what the first issue

Chad Konrad

would look like. Some people supported the idea (while also probably wanting to laugh at my faux articles). Some made me cry as I walked out, feeling defeated.

Coralie Richards Cameron Stalheim Brad Zimmerman

Even a news station made a recession jab as they announced we were launching the edition on television.

PRINTER

Verbatim: "With the economy in crisis, starting a new business might

not seem like a bright idea, but one Sioux Falls woman is trying to beat the odds, targeting an audience that she thinks has been largely ignored in this area."

Ouch? I'd be lying if I said the last 10 years were easy.

605 has grown tremendously over the years, and we have employees, contributors, advertisers, and (especially) readers to thank.

“MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT TEACHING AT SŌL IS ABSOLUTELY THE PEOPLE. OUR STUDENTS, OUR INSTRUCTORS—THEY BRING SO MUCH HEART TO OUR SPACE.”

YOGA FOR THE SŌL

BY KYLE DETERMAN // IMAGES BY HUBBARD VISUALS 1 6 \\\\\\\\\ J A N U A R Y

LIFESTYLE

YOGA HAS BEEN THE POPULAR GO-TO FOR MINDFULNESS AND EXERCISE FOR YEARS, BUT HAS RECENTLY TAKEN A TURN FOR THE UNCONVENTIONAL. FOR KAREN BUXCEL, OWNER OF SŌL YOGA COLLECTIVE, THIS CHANGE WAS THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP IN HER PRACTICE; A PRACTICE, SHE SAYS, THAT CAME AT A POINT OF REDISCOVERY.

“I’d been a stay-at-home mother for many years and absolutely poured myself into that role of being a loving, engaged mama to my children. When I turned 40, I suddenly began to realize that I had lost touch with who I was, beyond ‘mom,’” said Buxcel.

After having a less than impactful yoga experience 20 years ago, Buxcel decided to start simple with the Sun Salutation A series, and 30 days later, she was hooked. Shortly after that, she became certified to teach and began offering donationbased classes in a church building that was home to an intentional community.

“I told my friend living there that I would donate the classes for the community if she would donate the space… I asked a couple other people to get certified and invited them to begin teaching at that location as well,” Buxcel explained.

“WE ASK PEOPLE TO CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING. IF IT’S NOT MONEY, IT’S TIME OR TALENT OR WHATEVER THAT PERSON HAS TO GIVE. EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER.” 1 8 \\\\\\\\\ J A N U A R Y

LIFESTYLE

“EVERY INTERACTION WE HAVE, EVERY NEW STUDENT WE MEET, EVERY RETURNING STUDENT THAT WE WELCOME BACK—WE BEGIN FROM A PLACE OF TRUE APPRECIATION, RESPECT AND GRATITUDE.”

Fast forward a few years. With a solid name and a new studio, Buxcel was faced with the task of finding ways to keep yoga intriguing and inclusive. Operating since 2015, this Rapid City-based yoga studio is doing more than teaching downward-facing dog.

“My vision and mission when creating this collective was to bring yoga to the people. I realized that yoga has a certain image— that if you are the right age, size, shape, and social class, then you and yoga go together. I’m looking to shatter that bias,” claimed Buxcel.

Sōl runs on a donation-based business model, meaning they ask people to contribute what they can, whether that means money, time, or in this case, goats. After hearing about goat yoga, Buxcel contacted Thane Rose, owner of Old McDonald’s Farm, who was willing to donate eight goats for her yoga needs.

“By acknowledging that they have value to share and something to contribute to the community, it puts them in a powerful and meaningful receiving position,” Buxcel continued.

Not only do these yogis make yoga available for everyone, but they mix things up by offering classes like heated yoga, kids yoga, and the incredibly popular goat yoga.

This is yoga that is practiced in the presence of happy and friendly goats, giving a whole new meaning to connecting with your inner kid.

“We were able to work out the details. I recruited a few adventurous instructors and we put it on the schedule. Our first couple classes sold out within hours, which was fun to see happen,” said Buxcel.

The goats have become accustomed to these classes, and are said to “come running to their kennels” when it’s time for class. Once they arrive at that studio, Thane cleans

their hooves off, lets them do their business, and leads them into the studio where they are greeted by a very eager and welcoming group.

“This is a time to be playful and silly and experience nothing but joy and laughter for an hour. Combining goats along with guided movement has been a really beautiful experience,” beamed Buxcel.

Whether you are a veteran in the yoga community or you are looking for a way to spend more time with goats, Sōl Yoga Collective has what you are looking for—and just in time for the new year and your new year’s resolutions.

“What I’ve learned is that by putting myself first, the benefits ripple out to the people I love most in my life.”

From the sage and sweet grass of Bison Prairie to the candy stores and cigar lounges of Art Alley, the 12-scent Black Hills Collection is a prime example of the regional flair and nuance that has made Pine-Clad Candle Co. a booming small business in just over a year.

Owner Janelle Beebe has been selling the wooden-wick candles she hand-pours in her Rapid City home fall of 2017. She started making candles a few years ago as a relaxing hobby, then for family and friends, and soon decided to pursue a childhood dream of entrepreneurship by launching the candle company. But her first

candles weren’t the charmingly simple jars of cream-colored wax Pine-Clad is now known for.

“FOLLOWING THE RECIPE, MELTING THE WAX, POURING INTO THE JARS — IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME. THEY'RE ALL MADE WITH LOVE.” “They looked ugly, they didn’t smell good, they didn’t burn good,” said Beebe. “It’s a recipe you have to follow to a T. It’s a lot of math and science. And if you don’t follow the recipe, it will be a disaster.”

Aside from learning to make the candles look and smell nice, Beebe wanted to be sure her candles promoted environmental sustainability and wellness.

The undyed soy wax burns clean and lasts long, and it’s also safer to breathe than petroleumderived paraffin wax. The broad wooden wicks look rustic and provide a homey ambiance by crackling like a fireplace as they burn, and they’re sourced only from Forest Stewardship Council-certified mills. Beebe also uses only high-quality fragrance oils to craft the nearly 100 scents she offers.

“I HAD A LADY CONTACT ME TODAY WHO SAID ONE OF MY CANDLES REMINDED HER OF HER GRANDFATHER. I LOST MY GRANDFATHER RECENTLY, SO KNOWING I MADE A SCENT THAT HELPED SOMEONE HOLD ON TO THAT MEMORY MEANT SO MUCH TO ME.” 6 0 5 M A G A Z I N E . C O M \\\\\\\\\ 2 3

On the

Shelf Many small businesses now stock Pine-Clad Candle Co. candles, including the Rapid City specialty kitchen store Someone’s In The Kitchen. Owner Ashley Berry says the candles are popular because they offer a regional touch her customers are looking for.

The store carries food-based scents to go with their kitchen focus, as well as scents Berry says are a fit for the Black Hills area, like one of her favorites: Birch + Black Pepper.

“It’s not as piney as many seasonal things,” she said. “That’s a nice sit-bythe-fire smell.”

Other Rapid City stores that carry the candles are S & Co. Boutique, Victoria’s Garden Floral, and 605 Vintage Chicks.

“As a small business, financially it would have been smarter if I had just stuck with 10 scents,” said Beebe, “but I knew as a customer I would want to have a huge selection of scents.”

That perspective—what if I were the customer?—drives many decisions for the company. Beebe’s husband, Ben, helps her make the candles in their home, and their 7-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter happily “test” new scents, so of course she wants her products to be safe. But even with using high-quality materials, the candles have to be affordable, too.

“I try to put myself into the shoes of everybody that might be wanting one,” said Beebe. “If I imagine a mom wanting to spoil herself and buy some candles, I would probably feel guilty if I bought a really expensive one.”

That’s why Pine-Clad offers three sizes, she says. The smallest is four oz. and costs $7, and the largest

candle—a full pound of wax—costs $22 and will burn for 80 to 100 hours.

Three sizes, 100 scents, a web shop, and retail availability in about a dozen stores all sounds like a lot for a new company whose owner also has a full-time job managing a preschool—and it is. Beebe recently paused website orders for about week to allow herself to catch up after attending a wedding out of state, but she says things like that are good lessons as she learns to balance business success and family life.

“I LOVE THE WOODEN WICKS BECAUSE OF THE AESTHETIC OF THEM. THEY'RE PRETTY AND THEY REMIND ME OF THE BLACK HILLS, AND YOU GET THAT CRACKLE THAT REMINDS ME OF A FIREPLACE.”

After all, without that life her candles wouldn’t be what they are.

You don’t come up with scents like Pumpkin Crunch Cake, Tomato Leaf, and the sweet holiday special Elf Sweat unless you step away sometimes.

Luckily for the company’s growing fan base, Beebe is just getting started.

“I have a lot of goals and ideas,” she said. “The first major one was the Black Hills Collection. I knew how important it was for me to do it, and it’s really exciting to see a vision come to life."

She continued, “In a year’s time I hope I can keep setting goals and improving. Each time we make our candles we try to improve and get better every day.”

EMy E wife and I dated in high school, but we’re not really sweethearts, because we broke up and went different ways. Ten years later we met each other again, and the rest is history.

My wife, Kristin, and I launched Sodak Supply Company earlier this year and have been really excited by the response. Not only do we have items for adult males and females, but there are also options for kids. When we launched, our initial designs were all specifically video game related, but we always planned to branch out a bit. We want to trigger nostalgia in our customers. My favorite design hands down is our Captain 11 Crew Member shirt, but I’m pretty excited to wear one of our newest designs themed after Donkey Kong.

I’m an Eagle Scout and was even once a national youth leader with the Sioux Council, Boy Scouts of America program. I was just recently appointed to our local council’s executive board,

When I was a kid, we would sit down as a family and play board games—Life, Monopoly, Cribbage, and Rummy. In recent years, I’ve gotten back into the board gaming hobby and was so happy when Amanda and Ben Wermers opened up The Game Chest. They’ve created more than just a beautiful store—they’ve created a community. I think a lot of us could use less screen time and more spent with real people—board games provide an opportunity to do that.

Great beer selection, vintage games, and even pinball are great for when I’m in the mood to be incredibly frustrated (I’m not good at them).

If you ever ask me where I’d like to eat, it’s Bread & Circus Sandwich Kitchen. It actually drives my wife nuts sometimes.

Everything on the menu is fantastic, though I find myself ordering the burger almost every time we go, and I don’t even particularly like hamburgers!

When I have out-of-town friends visit, we take them to Bros Brasserie Americano.

A couple of years ago, my wife and I visited Portland with some friends. The beer was great, but I kept thinking, there’s better beer in the town I live in! While I love all of our local breweries, WoodGrain Brewing Co. is my favorite. The beer is great, the taproom has a good vibe, and the three owners are good people. Speaking of… I think I’m going to go get a pint.

When my wife was a local DJ in her 20s, Top Hat [Bar] was her haunt. Now it’s become a great stop for us and friends to get together for stiff drinks, good tunes, and great conversation.

You’ll see people from every walk of life here with no pretension.

Sioux Falls has a great music scene, not just with regional and national acts but also local musicians. There’s no better place to see it then Icon Lounge, and Kristin and I are there often.

N A CHILLY, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, I HOPPED ONTO THE INTERSTATE INTO MOODY COUNTY TO FLANDREAU.

I started my journey at John’s Place: A Family Restaurant. It’s very much a small-town diner, where everyone took turns glancing over wondering who I was. Several helpful ladies approached me, and I asked for the owner.

“He finalized the deal with the guy he bought the building from in December of ‘08. We planned on being here in November of ‘09,” she continued, “and in January of ‘09 he died of a heart attack scooping a lady’s car out of the snow.”

Audrey Gaspar, who was in the back hard at work, and came up to greet me.

The project moved forward and she named the business after him in remembrance.

“The daily special today is the Tater Tot Hotdish,” she said. “Take a seat and I’ll bring some items over.”

Patrons can enjoy everything from breakfast dishes like 2 Eggs & Hash Browns, French Toast, and Biscuits and Gravy, or lunchtime offerings like the Cowboy Burger or an 11 oz. Chopped Steak.

The multi-cuisine eatery all started when Gaspar was looking for a centralized location for clientele to grab a bite. She met John Toates, who bought the building and planned to build apartments up-top and let Gaspar open the restaurant below.

“We have a full menu that has a lot of variety, like the Hot Beef Sandwich, the Swedish Meatballs, Seafood Alfredo… There are a lot of options,” she said.

Just across the street is a company that has gotten national recognition, including kudos from The Food Network.

The Flandreau Bakery & Coffee Bar has been in the family since 1929, and is still under operation under the Duncan brothers, Don and Ed. Known best for the Mocha Cake, the bakery also has 31 different variations of special breads and has items like Cream Horns, Angel Food Cake, Sour Cream Raisin Pie, Chocolate Hermits, and Crispies.

"People love the fresh-baked products,” said Don, who arrives to start baking around 1 a.m. “They're very fond of the Long Johns, Mocha Cakes, and Chocolate Donuts."

Don has been involved in the business for 50 years, and it seems a strong work ethic has been passed down generations.

"My dad worked here until he was 90 years old,” he said.

Just over on North Wind Street is a newer dining option called Fajita’s Bar & Grill.

Fajita’s teamed up with the Flandreau Bakery and also sells a few baked items as well.

The “home away from home” opened in April and is so much more than just a restaurant. But before we get ahead of ourselves, they are known for fresh Mexican food made Monday through Saturday for lunch or dinner.

Enjoy items like Street Tacos, Jalapeño Poppers, Shrimp Fajitas, Taco Salad, and King Nachos.

One item they are best known for are the Carne Asada Fries, which are french fries smothered in melted nacho cheese, carne asada, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream.

“WE’RE GOING TO START DOING TACOS UNTIL 1 IN THE MORNING IN THE DRIVE-THRU.”

Along with food, they also have painting classes. There is one for children, where they can enjoy quesadillas or nachos as they paint, and an adult version with margaritas.

“We hang [the children’s paintings] on the wall. They love it! They come in

and get really excited to see it,” said manager Jessica Rubenstein.

A bar is connected to the restaurant, as well as a drive-thru, and on Saturday nights around 9 p.m. dancing begins.

“It gets crowded, it’s so fun,” said Rubenstein. “There’s a DJ and everyone comes together and dances.

No one judges anyone, and we all cheer each other on. There’s salsa, reggaeton, and we play other music, too.”

More casual days in the bar include watching sports games or simply enjoying a beverage after work. People can also purchase liquor on that side and/or via the drive-thru (food is also available at the window).

Just when I thought I heard everything, Rubenstein said, “We also do dry cleaning, so comforters, jackets. It’s a small town, so a lot of people don’t have that option here.”

She also said to stay tuned for classes in the establishment for teaching English to Spanishspeaking individuals.

“We’re bringing someone in from SDSU in Brookings who will help those who need assistance learning English to better communicate with their boss or in general,” said Rubenstein. “We’re really excited about that and about being part of this community.”

INCE 2014, 605 RUNNING COMPANY HAS AIMED TO FORM A COMMUNITY OF RUNNERS WHO PROUDLY REPRESENT THEIR STATE. FROM TAKING THE TIME TO PROPERLY FIT EACH CUSTOMER TO CREATING AN ONLINE PRESENCE AND SUPPORT SYSTEM, THIS COMPANY HAS BUILT A LIFESTYLE OUT OF “605.”

“I think it is an unwritten rule that having ‘605’ in your business name means that you are going to offer a truly authentic experience,” explained general manager Greg Koch.

And that they do. Each customer, whether they are a seasoned marathon runner or they are in the market for their first pair of running shoes, has the opportunity to be fit and privately coached to fulfill their running needs.

“My job is to hire a team that embodies the philosophy that we will meet our clients where they are in their fitness journey. Our space is a judgment-free zone and we truly believe that running is for everyone,” said Koch.

Not only does this company offer customer-based services, but they also offer their space for meetings, clubs, and all things running, which allows 605 Running Company to see themselves as more than a brick-and-mortar shop.

“We utilize social media to build a community around our store—a community that is not defined by age, gender, or skill level. The best part of it all is that for as

strong willed and determined as our community is, we are just as passionate and caring for others,” beamed Koch.

Weekly group runs, large races, and a continuously updated blog has kept 605 Running Company at the forefront of many runners’ minds, solidifying the fact that this running company is a lifestyle brand. A brand, Koch says, that shines with local pride.

“We sponsor local running clubs like the Sioux Falls Area Running Club, Sioux Falls Women Run, and the Prairie Striders Running Club. We put money earned right back into the programs that build communities.

While we carry a lot of nationally recognizable brands, our most important brand is 605,” said Koch.

Located in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls, it is hard to miss the big “RUNNING” sign on their storefront, catching eyes of runners and non-runners alike. With that being said, Koch acknowledges the intimidation that running elicits, and is ready to dismantle it.

“I THINK 605 MEANS BEING WILLING TO TAKE ON BIG CHALLENGES AND TO PERSEVERE EVEN WHEN THE WIND BLOWS.”

“OUR GOAL IS TO FACILITATE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY RUNNING ENVIRONMENT FOR FOLKS AT EVERY LEVEL OF THE SPORT.” “The reality is as an owner I found running later in my life and never competed at any level. My personal experience has shown me that this is a sport that is truly accessible to all different types of people,” said Koch.

605 Running Company has found its niche and is striving every day to make the local running community an open

and welcoming one. With access to both paved and soft trails, runners have their pick of terrain and difficulty, though it seems most will take the route less traveled.

“I think we have some of the most rugged and tough runners in the world.

As many locals can attest to, training year round in South Dakota is next level. I think our community takes pride in going outside when nobody else will,” chuckled Koch.

Being a business focused on building a community not only puts 605 Running Company on a new level, but it allows for their retail store to grow to new heights. Running isn’t just for athletes and a family isn’t just for home, which is something this local business has figured out.

DAKOTA TERRITORIAL MUSEUM REOPENING FOCUSES ON EXPERIENCING HISTORY FIRSTHAND

BY KAYLYN DEITER /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

T

he reopening of the Dakota Territorial Museum has been Crystal Nelson’s baby for the past decade.

Since 2008, the executive director and curator of the historic children’s museum has worked alongside the Mead Building Committee and the Yankton County Historical Society— planning, designing, and dreaming of reopening Yankton’s first museum on the Mead Building grounds.

3 6 \\\\\\\\\ J A N U A R Y

C U LT U R E + E N T E R TA I N M E N T

“ONE OF THE MUSEUM’S PHASES INCLUDES A BUILDING TO ACCOMMODATE A PRESERVATION AND TRAINING LAB. THIS SPACE WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE TRAINING OF SMALLER MUSEUMS, GIVING THOSE SMALL MUSEUMS THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO KEEP HISTORY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.” In December, Nelson and a team of countless others did just that, welcoming the museum’s first visitors on December 15.

It’s a journey that really began in 2007, when the museum needed more space. The opportunity to tour the Mead Building—an estate built by Dr. Leonard Mead in 1909 to house and rehabilitate patients who suffered from mental illness—presented itself, and the rest is well, history.

“We loved the grand marble staircase in the Mead Building, the historical component of it,” said Nelson. “The board decided this would be a good place for a museum and we got started right away.”

Though the museum opened its doors officially in December, exhibits will be rolled out in a series of phases, with an estimated completion of the museum’s full list of exhibits and experiences slated for 2025.

The first and flagship exhibit of the Dakota Territorial Museum is an exhibit called “Journeying Forward—Connecting Cultures.”

It’s a look at the Lewis and Clarkled Corps of Discovery from a few different angles; that of Lewis and Clark themselves, but also a view of the events from the perspective of the people who were here before that historic duo.

“Lewis and Clark’s arrival was not the beginning of the West,” said Nelson. “They were definitely the ones who documented it best, but there was already a civilization on the prairie when they got here. We want to look at that group of people and their experiences with the Corps of Discovery, because it was not a positive experience for all.”

Later additions to “Journeying Forward” will also illustrate the settler side of the conversation and how, Nelson says, things went from good to bad on the prairie.

“These aren’t just going to be small children’s toys,” said Nelson. “There will be life-sized components to the transportation museum that kids can completely interact with, climb in and out of, and fully engage with history.”

A full-size train engine, Model T car, covered wagon, boat, and plane cockpit are in the works for the

“We want everything to be handson and interactive,” said Nelson.

“So kids can be part of history, not just learn about it.”

That vision to be part of history will translate to other phases of the ongoing Dakota Territorial museum project, maybe most

transportation museum, along with costumes kids can try on to fully immerse themselves in the time period. It’s far from the sometimesstale experience of simply reading about history in a textbook, and that’s exactly what Nelson and her team are going for.

At the beginning of the exhibit, visitors will receive a card with a person from the time period, following that person through the Dakota Boom to see if they survived as a homesteader.

“Visitors will be able to make decisions, basically be this person from the Dakota Boom era,” said Nelson.

Nelson’s goal for the entirety of the Dakota Territorial Museum is experiential—for visitors to have the opportunity to learn and understand more about the cultures that existed and still exist in the Dakota Territory.

“I hope people take the time to come and visit,” said Nelson. “This is a new destination for everyone, and it’s for everyone to experience and enjoy.”

Laura Nielson:

THE REAL FARM GIRL

ON THE COVER

Before she was Laura Benson, owner of the very successful Midwest clothing company Filly Flair, 605 found out about Laura Nielson, a thirdgeneration farmer. The very talented Jeff Sampson Photography came out with us for the June 2011 issue shoot, and we got a tour of Nielson Farms, a dairy farm that produces around 1.5 million gallons of milk per year in Crooks.

happens,” and then ending with trying to get a shot of her with all of the cows chilling out in the barn.

First and foremost, I never wear the right shoes. I wore flats that day, and apparently was completely in denial that farms had mud and dirt… everywhere. We were shown all over the place and had a blast watching Laura hold a calf, touring “where the milk

As soon as Jeff shot the first photos and the light went off, all of the cows started to... defecate. This included the cow nearest me, who went to the bathroom all down my back and onto my pants.

“Oh my goodness, I’m sorry, they do that when they’re nervous,” said Laura.

Jeff asked her to stand by a couple of them eating, and after a few test shots, realized it was too dark.

“No problem, no problem,” I said, as we moved her in the middle of the barn to separate her further away from the cows.

“Hey, can you hold this light for me, Alana?”

“Alright, just walk towards me,” instructed Jeff.

Sure, no problem. I grabbed the long pole and got on my (muddy) tiptoes

Laura started walking, and one by one all of the cows— at least 30-plus—started going to the bathroom, creating rows of what looked like brown waterfalls.

As you can imagine, those shots were… shot… but the rest of the images were beautiful. I just still feel bad for Jeff having to share the car ride home with me.

Blinded by Love

BY ALANA SNYDER Blinded by Love was my favorite and least favorite time of the year.

It all started in the February 2011 issue where (probably stemming from my reality show obsession) I decided to have readers match four men and four women to each go on a blind date.

I coordinated the dates, and then Dan Thorson Photography and I would watch them unfold.

Sioux Falls Storm player and a Sioux Falls Skyforce cheerleader to go out as one of the couples. It was always hard because I would put the PG version of the date in the magazine, but I would hear so much more in the followup phone calls. For example, the cheerleader said she felt more of a “friend vibe,” and also told me he had four kids and she wasn’t ready for a family (which this portion did not make the issue).

The first year went well.

Of course readers voted a

I remember the topic of kids came up with another

5 8 \\\\\\\\\ J A N U A R Y

couple where they actually connected and went on another date, but then she tried to introduce him to her kids right away.

Deal breaker.

February 2012's issue was a doozy. One date seemingly went great at Phillips Avenue Diner where milkshakes and good conversation took place.

They texted the next day, and then he ghosted her completely.

ON THE COVER

After a week, and after chatting with her about how not impressed she was, he reached out to me and said he “had some pretty big events happen in the last week.” If memory serves me right, he resurfaced a month later and wanted to talk, but that flame had fizzled.

Another date that go-round went really well. Yet, after the date, he stopped responding as well. Weeks later he got back in touch and said he “broke his phone while lifting weights.”

While she was happy he actually had a glowing review about the date, she wasn’t glowing when she found out he was sleeping on a mattress at his friend’s house. Flame once again fizzled.

One of the craziest dates happened with someone who had just broken up with his fiancé. He met a single gal at a bar and had drinks.

Her friends showed up, and the photographer and I assumed this meant the date was a no-go.

As we bid them adieu, they mentioned they were going to another bar. Maybe we were wrong?

During the phone follow-up, the woman mentioned he didn’t seem over his ex, but liked him. She feared it was still too fresh for him.

He was completely smitten and said he wanted to see her again and that "they were talking."

As none of these dates really turned into relationships, we tried something different for 2014. There was a “bachelorette,” and we had her go on three dates with three different suitors.

The first date was painful, as her body language clearly showed she was not having a great time… at all. Not only was race brought up (awkward), but he agreed with everything she said, which she felt didn’t seem genuine. I remember she said, “I mean, you can’t agree with everything I say.”

Her second date was adorable, and was actually with one of my friends at Great Bear Ski Valley. They went tubing, and they looked like they had known each other for some time and were constantly giggling.

It was the next day at the office when I got the follow-up phone call.

She started crying and told me she wasn’t over her ex.

“I mean yeah, I had a really great time and had a ton of fun, but you just hit that point where your head is over here ready to go, ready to do this, and it’s time to move on. Not being able to fully let yourself enjoy it is frustrating.”

I still have mad respect for her honesty and for going on the third date. He was definitely a trooper as well, as she told him up front she was "just ready for a fun night of bowling."

A couple of days later, I spoke with him and she had cut him off. He was not happy about it. After asking if the issue went to print (which the answer was yes), he then told me he was super confused because they had hooked up in the car that night.

After that, I hung up my matchmaker hat.

::MicDrop::

Do I miss all of the creeping and drama? Duh.

Do I miss it? Yes. Do I miss all of the coordination?

No.

It was hard to top that in 2013's edition. My favorite date that year was when one guy knew the date was over as soon as his date started praying over their pizza (he was an atheist).

Bringing South Dakota Together

BY DENISE DEPAOLO The cover shoot for the April 2016 issue of 605 felt like a big party. The Sioux Falls and Black Hills Centers for Equality were rolling out new community engagement initiatives, which was the main topic of the cover story—but the day of the shoot was memorable for another reason, too. It was March 2, 2016—the day Governor Dennis Daugaard vetoed HB 1008, also known as the “Transgender Bathroom Bill.”

We’d long planned our cover shoot for that brisk Wednesday evening, and this victory for the LGBTQ community—in a state

where those are few and far between—was a happy coincidence. It infused the air with a current of excitement.

The Center for Equality board invited members of the organization, friends, and family to participate in the cover shoot. Despite the breezy 30-degree weather, a crowd jammed the sidewalk in front of the Sioux Falls office, waving rainbow flags and showing support for South Dakota’s LGBTQ community, while 605 photographer and art director Liz Painter snapped away.

ON THE COVER

At the time, I was working for 605 as managing editor, and writing April’s cover story felt a tiny bit risky. The risk wasn’t a specific, tangible threat. It was a pit-in-my-stomach mixture of dread and awe, akin to watching a child first ride a bike without training wheels. It formed while conducting the interviews for the cover story, and learning how openly gay and transgender South Dakotans still regularly experience intimidation, physical threats, and sometimes termination from their jobs—simply for living their truth. I was horrified that this could still happen in our state, and I didn’t want the story to expose anyone to harm, but all involved agreed it was an important story to tell. As then-CFE Black Hills President Nancy Rosenbrahn told me, “The work doesn’t end with marriage equality.”

office in downtown Sioux Falls to find dozens of LGBTQ community members and allies waiting— including my husband and several personal friends.

They were there to show their faces. The importance of the moment outweighed any real or imagined danger.

Noses were red and our breath hung in the air, but everyone was excited to celebrate the death of discriminatory legislation, and to show South Dakota that they are—and have always been—part of our community. It was a jubilant time, and being nine months pregnant, it made me particularly optimistic about bringing a new life into the world.

It was a day to be happy, and I think Liz’s photos reflect that.

When the day came to do the cover shoot, however, all of those nerves dissipated. I arrived at the CFE

The People’s Flag

BY ALANA SNYDER For September 2017’s Design Issue, 605 featured the unofficial Sioux Falls Flag. Truth be told, the staff was approached by one of the flag’s OG advocates, Kellen Boice, who is also the director of the Sioux Falls Design Center, several times since its 2014 inception.

We were hesitant for a while to feature the flag, but once they were popping up outside of local businesses, homes, and more, we took notice. Freelancer Monica Albers was assigned an objective piece to see why people were so passionate about it, the brief history behind the voting process, and why Sioux Falls was one of the last major U.S. cities to lack an official symbol.

Art director Liz Painter and I spent a few days taking photos of different locations the flags were flying from, spent time at Fernson on 8th with Kellen and fellow advocate Kelsie Thomas, and even stopped by the office of Argus Leader news director Cory Myers, who proudly hangs the flag on his bookcase.

What I didn’t realize after the piece went to print, was that John Snyder, 605’s sales and marketing director (and my husband), was completely inspired by the story and went from despising the

flag to really liking it. He even surprised me with my own flag in my office.

Fast forward to 2018, and John worked with a group of supporters from the city (including Kellen, Kelsie, Cory, Zach DeBoer, Sioux Falls City Council member Christine Erickson, and Downtown Sioux Falls Inc. president Joe Batcheller) to reignite the stalled effort from years prior and to write a letter to Mayor Paul TenHaken to reconsider making the flag official. A copy of the September 2017 issue was also included, and the mayor took notice and pushed to have the topic brought up again for a potential vote.

After months of research and hard work by the whole team, and with supporters showing up to City Council meetings and/or giving their voice, the flag was voted unanimously by the council to make it official on Tuesday, July 10, 2018.

It was very cool to see an issue make an impact within our team that then led toward something so big. I feel extra proud of that issue and of the people who worked so hard to give our city something to stand behind.

It truly was, and is, “the people’s flag.”

MEET THE Creative DEREK "FOCUS" SMITH TYPE OF ART: GRAFFITI

GRAFFITI ARTIST AND ABOUT THIS LIFE, INC. CO-FOUNDER, DEREK “FOCUS” SMITH, HAS COMBINED HIS CULTURE AND HIS LOVE OF ART TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHERE IT MATTERS. ONE OF HIS MOST RECENT WORKS IS A 20-FOOT-BY-20FOOT MURAL IN ART ALLEY IN HONOR OF THE CHILDREN WHO WERE RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN UNMARKED GRAVES NEAR THE SIOUX SAN HOSPITAL LAND (FORMERLY THE RAPID CITY INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOL). FOCUS ALSO HAS HAD WORKS IN THE DAHL ARTS CENTER, AT DIFFERENT EVENTS, AND IN PINE RIDGE, AMONG OTHER PLACES. 605 CHATTED WITH THE ARTIST TO SEE MORE OF WHAT’S BEHIND THE SPRAY CAN. 6 6 \\\\\\\\\ J A N U A R Y

A R T + FA S H I O N

About This Life Inc. ABOUT THIS LIFE INC. IS A NON-PROFIT THAT “TRAVELS ACROSS THE GLOBE USING ARTS TO PROVIDE A SOURCE OF HOPE AND INSPIRATION.” THIS IS DONE THROUGH EVENTS IN DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND CREATES AWARENESS ON ISSUES IMPACTING THEM.

SOME PEOPLE MAY KNOW MY WORK FROM… murals I’ve painted in Pine Ridge while working with local students to promote their cultural awareness, as well as from “Where The Wild Things Are,” South Dakota’s first ever graffiti exhibit [at the Dahl].

I WAS DRAWN TO MURALS WHEN… I would see the graffiti murals in bigger cities. Figuring out how I could do that became magnetic, a gravitational force that gave me enough energy to jump and almost enough of a smile to keep going. I say almost because I’m still pushing for that other half.

ART FOR ME STARTED… when I realized how peaceful it helped

everything become. Art, in general, became my constant amid the rising and fading chaos in my life, a constant where I still stand.

OTHER ART I DABBLE IN IS... drawing, painting, screen printing, and tattooing. I also teach graffiti classes, which I consider an art form itself.

MY INSPIRATION BEHIND MY PIECE IN ART ALLEY WAS... the spirits of the children who never made it home from the Rapid City Indian Boarding School. Another inspiration is representing the Lakota culture in downtown Rapid City and showing the symbols from our culture, our ceremonies, and our beliefs. It is an offering to those who would take it as an opportunity

to learn about Lakota people who live within the community. I want to break the stereotypes of the criminal minded, poverty stricken, and addiction riddled, and show there are many highly successful and prominent indigenous people.

MY PIECE IN PINE RIDGE CAME ABOUT BECAUSE...

I believe graffiti is a vehicle that will reintroduce the youth to stories, symbols, and imagery of their Lakota culture. Gaining a sense of identity through these murals allows kids to see old, sovereign, traditional Lakota culture intertwined with graffiti, which establishes a sense of acknowledging their identity.

The mural in Pine Ridge teaches of the Pte San Win (White

Buffalo Calf Woman) ceremony origin story. A woman appeared to two hunters and offered the Čhaŋnúŋpa (pipe) and ceremonies to aid in times of need. That's why the mural came about: the youth.

EACH PIECE TYPICALLY TAKES ME... well, each one is different depending on size, details, and environmental conditions. I undertake each piece or mural with the same attitude, knowing that our Lakota ceremonies involve physical endurance, often to extreme levels.

In this suffering, concentration of prayer instills that when one faces odds in life, they find out who they are in those moments.

6 0 5 M A G A Z I N E . C O M \\\\\\\\\ 6 7

A R T + FA S H I O N

ONE MISCONCEPTION PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT GRAFFITI IS... that it might be pointless. Yet, it has taught me diligence, fortitude, and focus.

Networking, problem solving, planning, developing styles, learning I have a voice and sharing my voice are all things I’ve learned from graffiti.

WHAT ART BRINGS ME IS... an awareness of my abilities and the feeling of overcoming and perseverance. Above all, the people I've met along the way, the feelings, and the experiences are priceless. Yes I'd definitely say "art brings me," and not the other way around.

6 8 \\\\\\\\\ J A N U A R Y

MY FAVORITE SPOTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA ARE... Black Elk Peak, inside any Inipi (Sweat Ceremony), the Racing Magpie, or the Dahl.

WHEN I GRAB A BITE, YOU CAN FIND ME AT… the Golden Corral, or wherever they sell popovers. At pow-wows you can always find me eating an Indian Taco, and I also really dig homecooked dinners.

SOMEONE I REALLY RESPECT RIGHT NOW IN MY COMMUNITY IS...

Heather Dawn Thompson. Her positive impact on the community

is really great. Also, for Nick Tilsen for his work to empower Indigenous people and communities through NDN Collective.

SOMETHING I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW IS... screen printing techniques and producing pieces to be exhibited in various galleries.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2019 IS... seeing more art and music programs, Lakota language classes, accurate cultural awareness, and the mending and healing of past traumas for the community as a whole. Also, mural programs for the youth, and graffiti classes for the community.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT WHERE I LIVE IS… that there is a progressive attitude in understanding, helping, and bettering race relations. I think it is really cool that people are more open to how we, as humans, can get along better and help each other out.

hile some restaurants have seasonal specials, Prairie Berry Winery in Hill City has an entire seasonal menu that rotates year round. 605 spoke with Prairie Berry’s hospitality manager Ermin Husidic about what’s a must-try this winter.

“We change our entire menu from summer menu down to fall and winter and spring, so the entire menu changes over completely,” he said. “Some of our cheese boards and items like that stay constant, but sandwiches differ a little bit depending on the season.”

For example, they have the Prosciutto & Fig Jam open-face sandwich.

This feast for the eyes as well as the stomach consists of smoked prosciutto, fresh goat cheese, fig jam, and is topped with micro-greens.

While some menu items appear the same, they vary each season with the changing and available ingredients.

“We normally change over some of our spreads as well to go on the sandwiches,” said Husidic. “So the sandwich might stay the same, like our Grilled Cheese with bacon, but the spread and some of the cheeses are different. It’s a completely different flavor that’s more geared towards fall and winter rather than the summer.”

Two new additions Husidic is excited about are the Buffalo flat-grill sandwich, which has braised buffalo flank steak with creamy béchamel, balsamic caramelized onions, and smoked gouda, and the Buffalo Chicken Pizza (see sidebar on page 74).

Husidic explained, “This winter we actually are opening up to where you can get half a pizza and a salad rather than having to do a full pizza like we normally do in the summer.”

Wines recently released are Red Currant and Apricot .

Other popular seasonal wines include Prairie Berry’s Pumpkin Bog , which has a mix of pumpkin and cranberry, or the

holiday-inspired Cranberry, both of which can be enjoyed on the table or mulled with spices (they sell their own house blend).

“All you have to do is add mulling spices, a couple of orange peels, and some brown sugar, and just warm it up either over a stove top or in a crockpot,” said Husidic. “It’s such a nice, comfortable, warm drink for the chilly weather.”

BREWING UP SOMETHING NEW

BY NATALIE SLIETER

AS

YOU HEAD AROUND SOUTH DAKOTA, YOU CAN FIND A BREWERY OR WINERY IN ABOUT EVERY CORNER OF THE STATE. IF YOU TRAVEL JUST 20 MILES NORTHWEST OF SIOUX FALLS, YOU WILL FIND THE NEWEST—AND ONLY— BREWERY IN HARTFORD. BUFFALO RIDGE BREWING OPENED ON NOVEMBER 10 AND HAS ALREADY MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE HARTFORD COMMUNITY. Chris Tuschen and Damon Sehr are co-owners of Buffalo Ridge Brewing.

Tuschen is from Hartford and has wanted to open his own brewery for about six years after learning how to home brew his own beer. He met Sehr, originally from Valley Springs, through a mutual friend.

Sehr grew up around the business sector and has a passion for it and finding new business ventures. He and Tuschen seized the opportunity to bring their interests together and from there, Buffalo Ridge Brewing was born.

Tuschen and Sehr became familiar with the downtown community quickly due to

7 8 \\\\\\\\\ J A N U A R Y

the many hours of work they put in to get the brewery up and running. They got to know their neighbors well, some of whom would bring them coffee during their late nights of working.

Downtown Hartford was in need of economic growth so the community was ecstatic when they heard Tuschen and Sehr wanted to bring new business to the neighborhood. In fact, Hartford economic development officials were so enthusiastic about the project, they gifted the city-owned land to Buffalo Ridge Brewing.

“We have had a huge community backing,” said Tuschen. “We have had a good partnership and a great reception from [the area].”

The community support made opening the brewery a smooth process. Buffalo Ridge Brewing has a large front porch as well as a backyard area that Sehr says he is excited to utilize when the weather warms up. The taproom inside is large, seating up to 90 people.

“THE COMMUNITY IS PROUD OF US, AND WE’RE PROUD TO BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY.”

Sehr says while the building is a new structure, they designed and furnished the brewery with reclaimed materials to give it a historic and outdoorsy feel.

Buffalo Ridge Brewing currently offers eight beers on tap with more to come. Their main focus when it comes to crafting beer is melding flavors together to create solid, balanced brews. They have a Bone Trail Black Ale with a crisp finish, an Oaksville Amber Ale that Tuschen says is hoppier than most, and a Lady Renegade Belgian Blonde that has unique citrus and peppery flavors.

Along with the craft beers, Buffalo Ridge Brewing has plans to partner with others locally to offer featured guest taps. They also want to offer non-alcoholic drinks such as a special root beer and a nitrogen-infused coffee, options that may benefit those traveling from out of town.

“We’re a localized community establishment.

We offer the same great beer that others are delivering, but in a smaller town,” said Sehr.

Tuschen and Sehr believe the small town feel of Buffalo Ridge Brewing is welcoming and will appeal to a wide audience, from those new to the craft beer scene wanting to give it a try to the seasoned connoisseurs.

“Our entry into the craft beer market shows that with the right mix of ambiance and highquality product, people from surrounding areas are willing to frequent smaller towns and experience their charm,” said Tuschen.

O 22TEN KITCHEN COCKTAILS 2210 W. 69th St., Sioux Falls // (605) 271-1787 // 22tenkitchen.com

BY ALANA SNYDER

hen 605 found out WR Hospitality was working on a new restaurant, we were pumped.

These are the people behind The All Day Café by Minervas, TapHouse 41, and Phillips Avenue Diner, just to name a few.

My partner in crime, Yany Avelar, and I pulled up to 22TEN Kitchen Cocktails at the former Beef ‘O’ Brady’s on 69th Street just west of Western Avenue.

It was a snowy afternoon, and we were ready to warm up, though we had no idea what to expect.

Would this be another sports bar like its predecessor?

TRY IT: SHARE

Right in front of us was a gorgeous mural of a woman holding her finger up as if to “shush” the restaurant. We were greeted by WR Hospitality marketing director Megan Schuver, who said it’s supposed to imply it’s a “local secret.”

MAINSTAYS

SQUASH PENNE Butternut squash, cremini mushroom, sage, garlic, arugula, shallot, parmesan, and white wine sauce.

SMOKED GOUDA MAC Pork belly lardons, garlic cream, fresno pepper, parmesan, penne, and breadcrumb.

WITCHCRAFT

POPPER BURGER Jalapeño jelly-cream cheese, bacon, onion frites, and a house bun.

The best way I could describe the place?

“This is a sexy vibe, I love it,” I said as we were seated in a green velvet booth.

BRIE Puff pastry, blueberry-lemon compote, candied almond, arugula, and toast points.

Would this be another place to grab greasy food?

We opened the doors, and we couldn’t have been more wrong.

LAMB SLIDERS Harissa aioli, feta, mint, sweet potato fries, and curried yogurt.

REUBEN Braised corned beef, kraut, Russian dressing, swiss, and N.Y. rye.

FROM THE GARDEN

BIG EYE Spinach, arugula, kale, ahi tuna, couscous, roasted red pepper, artichoke, feta, kalamata olive, and lemon-herb vinaigrette.

DESSERTS

CHOCOLATE SOUP Dark chocolate ganache, white chocolate ganache, graham cracker, cherry reduction, and whipped cream.

CHURRO WAFFLE Whipped cream, strawberry syrup, cinnamon sugar, and vanilla bean ice cream.

The bar had blue chandeliers above it, and the bartender was wearing a retro-esque outfit that was reminiscent of a speakeasy.

mashed potatoes for the best of all worlds. It was then that I looked at the menu again and read it was a veggie mash.

Suddenly, Yany knew how she felt about the space.

::RecordScreech::

She proclaimed, “It reminds me of Vanderpump Rules.

Yas!" (A.k.a. an amazing reality show on Bravo.)

I like veggie mash? You done tricked me good, 22TEN!

Yany then kept staring at the mural of the woman.

“Is that Aubrey Plaza from Parks and Rec[reation]?”

Probably not, but that’d be cool if it was.

Breaking our stare-down with faux Aubrey Plaza, our food began to show up. First up was the French Chicken. This consisted of fennel-asparagus salad, root vegetable mash, glace de poulet, and candied orange.

First and foremost, the presentation was very impressive, and we soon saw that went for all of their dishes.

“It’s so pretty it’s almost hard to want to ruin it by eating it,” said Yany.

Two seconds later we didn’t feel bad anymore and dug in.

The chicken was very tender, and I always made sure to get some of the seasoned chicken skin with my bite.

This place legit was tricking me into eating better and liking it. The fennel-asparagus salad was fresh and delicious, and I mixed the chicken and salad with the

Next up was the Pork Cheek. This had sweet potato fingerling, poached pear, swiss chard, and maple mustard sauce.

“Is it corny to say it almost melts in your mouth?” asked Yany. “It’s a different texture, but I like it.”

It was different, but not a weird texture. The fingerling sweet potatoes were so good, and were probably one of my favorite parts of the experience. What was super bizarre was I found myself dipping the pork cheek in the mustard sauce, and usually mustard freaks me out.

I liked it. I liked mustard. What is happening?!

After second-guessing my existence, we checked out a salad option. We tried the Ray-Fin, which has field greens, grilled salmon, poached pear, curried walnut, feta, heirloom tomato, and white balsamic vinaigrette.

Yany was obsessed.

She commented, “There’s not enough pears in salads, you know?”

Crafty Cocktails

BOT TOM LINE

There’s a reason that “cocktails” is in the name.

Perfect for a happy hour with friends, a date, or a business meeting, try 22TEN’s diverse drink list. Classic cocktails include the Old Fashioned, Bond’s Martini, and a Manhattan. Get contemporary with a Gin St. Clement (Bombay Sapphire, orange juice, lemon, and tonic) or a Rye Guy (George Dickel Rye, Orgeat Syrup, Velvet Falernum, fresh lime, and mint).

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE IS DIFFERENT, BUT IS ALSO VERY APPROACHABLE. ONLY FEELING A BURGER? GET A BURGER. WANT SOMETHING FRESH AND DIFFERENT, LIKE DUCK SOBA? YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE AMBIANCE IS KILLER. WHILE IT’S SOPHISTICATED, YOU DON’T HAVE TO DRESS UP. OR, YOU COULD SPICE IT UP FOR A FUN DATE NIGHT. THOUGH THIS IS MEANT TO BE A NEIGHBORHOOD ESTABLISHMENT, I FEEL PEOPLE WILL BE COMING FROM ACROSS TOWN TO GIVE IT A TRY AND COME BACK.

I wanted to bottle the light vinaigrette. With all of the different elements, each fork-full seemed different, which kept it exciting (salad exciting?!).

“I want one of these to go, I’m serious,” said Yany. “The cheese and pear combo are so good together.”

We had to try one more main dish, so I pushed the salad to the side. She legit darted across the table for one more bite. Girl is not lying.

The Duck Soba came out and was almost made for Instagram. I

mean, duck meatballs and noodles with chopsticks? Already posted it on my account.

Oh, what’s in it? Szechwan duck meatballs, napa cabbage, snap pea, bell pepper, carrot, soba noodle, soy caramel, sesame seed, and scallion.

After our first couple of nibbles, it seemed to have a lot of cumin flavor, which is not a bad thing. It also had a little kick. As we ate the meatballs, it didn’t even occur to us that we were eating duck. It was a yummy entrée that could easily be shared.

More, you say? There’s a super unique dessert menu, and we got to try the Chocolate Orange Crème Brûlée.

This had dark chocolate couverture, orange zest, and burnt sugar crust.

I was full, and after one bite I exclaimed, “I will finish this.”

The orange and dark chocolate were a combo for the ages, and I had a food high, which is my favorite. I was essentially the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man with each scoop and each crunch of the burnt crust.

Most options are around the $10-$16 mark, but if you’re feeling fancy and/or crave a Bistro Filet (petite filet, onion frites, root vegetable mash, bacon, asparagus, and port wine syrup) you’ll end up paying around $29. But it will be worth it.

Every dish we tried Yany said, “That’s my favorite.” It switched each time.

I loved the French Chicken, and I can’t believe this place had me eating vegetables and I actually enjoyed myself. All of the flavors were new and different, and the menu is vast enough that you can keep coming back to try more. Also, I want everything from the dessert menu (Chocolate Soup?!).

22TEN IS OPEN MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY 11 A.M. - 10 P.M. AND SUNDAY 11 A.M. - 9 P.M.

THE RESTAURANT WILL EVENTUALLY SERVE BREAKFAST, INCLUDING UNIQUE DISHES LIKE THE LIGHT BITE WITH CROISSANTS, PORK BELLY JAM, POACHED PEAR, AND BLUEBERRY COMPOTE YOGURT PARFAIT.

I can’t say enough about how sexy and sleek this place is. I can already imagine having a night with the ladies there, or playing “stranger” with my husband at the bar. Too much? But for real, with the green and blue color palette and the mural that everyone will be talking about (and taking photos of), they did it right.

WHERE THE CHILD THINGS ARE

BY KYLE DETERMAN

New Year, New Title We did it.

We made it through the holidays, the road trips, and the tables full of cookies.

Now, we are left with copious amounts of leftovers and the long wait for warmer weather. In the past, I have spent most of January attempting to uphold my resolutions, which usually consisted of daily exercise and unrealistic travel plans.

9 2 \\\\\\\\\ J A N U A R Y

This year, however, the phrase “new year, new me” means something different. It’s no longer in reference to the weight I hope to lose or to the book I hope to write, but to the new title I’ve acquired, altering the composition of who I am.

People always talk about how having a baby is a lifechanging experience, which it totally is. But, what they don’t say is that it is a self-changing experience, too. Life changes in the way it’s supposed to, with new time commitments, expenses, and sleep schedules.

Those are things we expect, and then there are things that come out of left field, knocking us on our backs.

The sense of loss and confusion is overwhelming, and frankly, terrifying. What happened to going back to school?

What about my spontaneity or my selfishness? Why are my interests different and why don’t I feel confident in anything I do?

Let me tell you right now, these are questions I deal with every day. Why? Because in a matter of four seconds, I was promoted to Mama and thrown to the wolves that are society, family, and a newborn. I was expected to live and breathe this new role, which is what I did.

Unfortunately, I was equally as successful in losing myself in the process.

Mama’s Resolutions

DRINK MORE WATER (DUH).

SPEND MORE TIME APPRECIATING, NOT CRITICIZING, MYSELF.

MEET EACH NEW TOOTH, CHANGE IN SLEEP PATTERN, AND GROWTH SPURT WITH GRACE AND GRATITUDE… AND WINE.

What I’ve Learned…

WALK AWAY TO TAKE A BATH, OR AIMLESSLY WALKING AROUND TARGET IS OKAY, AND ENCOURAGED.

I would be feeding Sloan or taking a shower and I would have a moment of realization where I would ask myself what I wanted or who I was. Of course I was a mom, and I probably wanted a nap or a snack, but what about the other stuff?

There was a point, shortly after I went back to work, when I was gushing about Sloan and my friend stopped me, saying “Great, but I asked about you.” That’s when it hit me: I was not my baby.

And I’m still not. I am an online graduate student. I am the wife to a

hunky UPS driver. I am the mother to a bada*s little baby. Taking on these roles is something I have gladly accepted as my responsibility, not my identity. If we resort to defining ourselves by the jobs we have, instead of the people we are, then everything outside of those titles will crumble and fall.

As parents, it is our job to raise good people. As people, it is our job to be good. So, start with yourself. Start by acknowledging the skills you bring to the table. Stop referring to yourself as just one thing, because you’ve worked too hard to discredit

everything you’ve accomplished.

Understand that searching for yourself and losing yourself are two different things.

This January will be dedicated to one resolution, and one I intend to keep. I am going to dedicate every day to rediscovering who I am outside of being a new mom. I am going to reevaluate what brings me joy, and cut out what doesn’t. I am going to remind myself that my daughter deserves 100 percent, so I can’t start each day with 50. Our children deserve the best versions of ourselves.

PAINTING WITH YOUR BABY MAY BE A STRUGGLE, BUT THE RESULTS ARE ALWAYS WORTH IT.

So, figure out what that is. Take the time you need to discover what has changed and what has stayed the same. Allow yourself to honor your worries or your shortcomings and know that this is what life is all about. We are supposed to evolve and grow throughout life; it just seems magnified when you are simultaneously in charge of someone else.

Trust yourself, and trust that taking the time to understand who are you as a person will only enhance who are you are a parent. •
