Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Granola

Sometimes in life we have every intention of trying something out but we just drag our feet. Until one day, we finally do it and wonder what the heck took us so long. I’ve been meaning to try Zumba ever since I fell in love with Latin dance while living in South America in 2009. […]

This year, I’m going to miss out on our […]
