In Spring 2013, Minette Loula kicked her east coast habit and moved her New England family to Minnesota. The boys, Patrick (6) and Quinn (3) are enjoying their new home and all the activities that Minnesota has to offer. Minette and her husband are adjusting to the frigid temperatures, but also loving, and taking full advantage of, the close proximity to family. During the weekdays, Minette is an in-house counsel for Target. She says, “I am always up for connecting with my fellow SPA-folk—those living in MN and those who visit the tundra from time-to-time—for play dates (with kiddos) and happy hours (sans kiddos). My email is tmmloula@gmail.com.”
