Those of you following along on Instagram had a few sneak previews of some of the big fun this past weekend in Western MA and Boston - the adventure began with helping Amber of GiryaScope (Boston) lead a 4 hour intro/fine tuning kettlebell workshop at CrossFit Swarm in Westfield. The workshop sold out - and despite the freezing weather, showed up ready to learn and work. I … [Read more...] about Boston Weekend (Part 1) and Dragon Door 18kg and 22kg Kettlebell Unboxing Video

Green & Black’s Organic Bittersweet Dark Chocolate Bar, Currant and Hazelnut
This bar has such a great balance to it—even though its only 60% cacao (I normally like things VERY VERY dark)—the crunch of the hazelnuts, and tangy currant bits work together incredibly well. Organic and Fair Trade. Definitely getting this again. … [Read more...] about Green & Black’s Organic Bittersweet Dark Chocolate Bar, Currant and Hazelnut
An Unusually Delicious Combination – Custom Chocolates with Peterbrooke Chocolatier!
Yesterday was incredibly cool - as I got to make chocolates with my friends at Winter Park's Peterbrooke Chocolatier yet again (here's a video of when we made Year of the Dragon spicy chocolates last time).

VERY Proud of new HKC Katie, Thoughts on Haywire, Chinese New Year and MORE!
One of my first kettlebell clients really got into it in a big big big way - she started training with me at the very beginning and it feels like a million years ago. I remember meeting her in a park and teaching her how to do a swing for the first time. We also went through the get up and then we just had a little time to do 1 arm swings. We continued to train and swap … [Read more...] about VERY Proud of new HKC Katie, Thoughts on Haywire, Chinese New Year and MORE!
What a Big Weekend!
As far as we know - and we both checked, Laurel Blackburn of Tallahassee Kettlebells and Boot Camps To Go and I are the only 2 female RKC Level 2 Instructors in Florida. So of course we have to meet up from time to time, and get a whole lot of fun stuff going on. This always seems to involve tons of coffee in various forms (yes, I brought my stovetop espresso maker), dark … [Read more...] about What a Big Weekend!
