With the holidays upon us and COVID is still an ongoing issue, things feel a little different this year. We have several vaccines on the way, but likely this will not change our holiday season at all, sadly. We have already tackled how we handled Thanksgiving, so this was a great dress rehearsal for the main event. All of us are in different levels of lockdown and concern…

The holidays are upon us and it may just feel a little different. Whether we are socially distancing or employment isn't where it once was or just the general feeling of ennui from 2020, we just might not be in the holiday spirit. However, as easy as it is to wallow in self pity and endless streaming of the latest shows, we encourage you to keep up with some of what…

Sugar is one of those tricky things. We have a natural craving for sugar from birth, it is one way to attract the infant to drink milk, yet too much sugar can harm our bodies, peak our glycemic index and lead towards diabetes and health problems.

Depending on where you are, it may already start feeling like Autumn. Kids have headed back to school and pumpkin spiced products have re-emerged from their summer hibernation regardless of what the weather is like outside. Even if you are in a place that still feels like summer, we can get in the mood of the season with some fall inspired breakfast meal preps. If you haven't…

For those watching the markets, you will know that gold…

As we are navigating the pre-vaccine era there are a lot of questions coming up, especially when it comes to our finances and our future. Where should we be putting our money? How can we be using the pandemic in a positive way? When will things be normal again?
