If you follow my many social media accounts, you might know how much I love coffee and caffeinated food items… So it was with great pleasure that I joined the Lavazza Passionista network for the next few months. I will be talking about and using the Lavazza brand of coffee (Italy’s #1 drip coffee) in […]

Holy shit you guys! Today is the beginning of the 2014 CrossFit Games Open! If you are registered today is the day you find out the first torture. I feel for you. I didn’t register this year…wah wah wah. Why not? A couple of months ago, Adrian injured his back. At first, I kept doing

Pie. Pies are comforting. Especially pies made with love and local fruits. I made this pie a few months ago, when a friend came to visit.

Today I whipped up some pancakes. Just off the top of my head this morning, I thought….”Wow, we have a lot of apples sitting on the counter.” The apples were a gift from our friends and neighbours, who have a large transparent apple tree in their yard. It’s our own little U-Pick! I don’t

Life is so super, ridiculously filled with things to do right now. It’s not even funny.
