Simple pleasures
This past Sunday we celebrated Father’s day in Finland.

It was a surreal moment when we found out. […]
Time just doesn’t stop, does it. And we just had the surprise of a lifetime a couple weeks ago and I’ll share our secret in the near future. But in the meantime, I will remember back to last May when I had the chance to visit Minnesota and all of the important people that live […]

Delicious clean-eating Cherry Berry popsicle treats and some of the most popular posts from the past five years.
