About Me

i love trees. i love the clouds. i love being outside. i live with three girls. they're awesome! i miss my dear old friend rufus. i drink lots of yerba mate and i eat tons of banana borritos. (peanut butter, honey, banana, tortilla = yumminess!) i feel like a kid when i climb trees so i climb them as often as i can. yoga can change your life. so can hula hooping. i think if everyone danced to 80's music we'd be much happier together. can you believe that i live in winnipeg and i don't have a cool toque?!?..
