Dealing with loss
Last week, I had to say goodbye to my sweet, sassy, beautiful Lola Bear. We fought hard alongside her for 4 long days, but in the end, her little body just couldn't fight any longer and we had to make the heart-breaking decision that every animal carer dreads in order to help her over the … Continue reading Dealing with loss

Papa John’s Cinnapie Sticks

Crosstown Cinnamon Scroll doughnut
I somehow question how I make it through the weeks without doughnuts. I don't have them every week, but on the weeks I do get these extra little treats, it is just the most comforting and rewarding thing possible. Especially on those very busy weeks with lots of miles ran, lots of work meetings and … Continue reading Crosstown Cinnamon Scroll doughnut
