just our day to day life
This is the first month that I’ve participated in Foodie Penpal and I’m so glad that I joined! Lindsay from The Lean Green Bean created this program last September to link foodies from around the world. On the 5th of the month, each participant is …
I stuck to a lot of yoga again this week, even though I struggle with counting it as a workout. I know that is insane because the yoga that I’m taking is actually hard and I sweat like crazy. I think because I enjoy it …
