The Exhausted Dad: When you don’t move the headstones

Kids are always listening. My 9-year-old daughter, it must be said, is turning into one of the cooler people I know. We enjoy the same music (Hooptown 101!), and her contrarian tendencies make her a true Wild Card in most situations. If she disagrees with me about anything, she usually just replies “NOPE!” and I’m only left to guess as to why I’m so wrong.

FAST FIVE: Branigan Carhart: She'd plant that

Meet Branigan Carhart, a true North Idaho local. Branigan was born in Coeur d’Alene in 1987 and grew up in Sandpoint with her family. Just over 10 years ago she moved back to the Coeur d'Alene area with her daughter and purchased her first home in Post Falls. Branigan is the true definition of a go-getter. As she is raising her 17-year-old daughter solo, she has maintained her full-time position with a large local flooring company, works part time for her family’s business and she still seems to find time to run a small pop-up plant stand called ID Plant That and she continues to be a part of as many local events as possible.
