Little People with BIG Influence
I am on a mission to eat well and live better. That means that I have made fruit and vegetables the main staple in my diet and I have cut back on treats.

Now I enjoy my coffee, but I don’t generally enjoy coffee that is purchased out somewhere because I like my coffee to be weaker than normal. The Van Houtte is not a weak cup of coffee so it was a little bit strong for me, but my husband really liked it. I really do like {Read More}
