A Family Exploring the Worlds of Fandom Together
Here is where we collect our food and other lifestyle writings.
Recently, Cristina and I jumped back on the fitness band wagon. We did well until the half-marathon and slowly succumbed back to our old ways. It’s not the food we write about on here that got us out of shape; it’s the food we don’t write about that hurt us.…
