Hooray it’s Friday! Although I wonder if Friday

Hooray it’s Friday! Although I wonder if Friday has less meaning these days. One thing is for sure...weddings are still as meaningful as ever. Perhaps even more so as couples adjust plans and create simple weddings days that include only the most important people. So many difficult decisions for these couples...but thankfully their choice to get married was (most likely), not one of them. Looking forward to some intimate Muskoka weddings this year with some lovely couples.

Back to the grind, so to speak. Photography sessions are trickling in at long last. Typically this time of year consists mainly of commercial work. A day spent with Jo-Anne of Jo-Anne McCarthy Interiors took me to some lovely properties with fresh, clean design and staging. With constantly varied subjects in the world of commercial photography, I find I am consistently challenged and never grow tired of this sector of work. It’s probably time you got that updated professional portrait or some new social and web content, no?

I LOVE @beebagz ! And not only because they are a fabulous commercial photography client, but also (mostly) because their products are nothing short of awesome. If you have never tried these bags and wraps (and now they do fire starters from scraps, too!), I highly recommend giving them a whirl. It is also worth mentioning their passion for the environment and their contribution to helping create a society with less plastic waste. With that in mind, they recently launched a line of fire starters which put to use the scraps and imperfect bags. The wrap, pictured here, is also a line which is able to use bags that aren’t perfect. Although the bags are completely biodegradable, so even if other uses weren’t conceptualized, unused bags would create little impact on the environment. Way to go, BEEBAGZ. Such a great little local company!

Is there an actual Cookie Monster in our midst??!?

Is there an actual Cookie Monster in our midst??!? This photo is the one that I posted to my story yesterday morning. I took it after loading the table up. Cropped in, one can clearly see that there are two boxes for one Ms. Laura DiFlorio, yes? Sadly there was only one of these boxes there when she went to pick up around 1pm.

So my question to all of you: where do you think her other box could possibly be???!?

Laura was more than gracious (thank you), and happy to have at least four of the eight cookies she ordered. Of course I will bake her four more in the future to complete her order....but still kinda disappointing - for us both.

Perhaps a passer by decided they needed cookies (I get it) - who could know? But I would like to offer a gentle and friendly reminder for everyone. Please only take boxes of cookies with your name on them. Please read the names carefully. Please do not take cookies if you did not order cookies. And if you accidentally took someone else’s cookies, please take them back and get the correct box. If you ordered cookies and do not see a box with your name on it - contact me: do not take someone else’s box instead! (I have been known to make mistakes, but I promise I’ll always make things right and good!)

I do hope this honour system can continue to work. People need their cookies, after all.

I was exhausted, my hands bloody and torn from all

I was exhausted, my hands bloody and torn from all the gymnastics, and it wasn’t a very pretty clean but 21.4 is done! (Although only just barely managing the 137 lbs on my bar during this complex). And that’s another CrossFit Open in the books! My very first week of CrossFit classes introduced me to The Open - four years ago. Prior to going in for a class I had been a real CrossFit nay sayer. I had no real reasons for my disdain for CrossFit - I don’t know why I was so down on it....both my sisters loved it, and it was taking the world by storm. But now a few years later I have my Level One Coaching under my belt, I love coaching the amazing athletes we have and I can barley bring myself to even take a day of rest. But Why??!? Many people ask! The reasons are endless. Maybe it’s the awesome family we have there, the community and camaraderie, the high fives and cheering (and occasional ribbing). Or maybe it’s the way it makes me feel like a badass. Maybe it’s the attentive and careful coaching we get from @mitch_friend or maybe it’s the stimulation from learning new things. Maybe it’s because of the great strength I have gained or the overall improvement in my fitness that I have seen. It’s for sure each of these things but more than all of that I do it for me. To challenge myself to do things I never thought I could. To compete with myself every day, record metrics and see quantifiable results. I’ve never been one to brag about CrossFit or even initiate conversation about it....because before I was hooked I found that constant chatter rather annoying (ie: you meet a vegan who CrossFits - what do they talk about first?). But now I am saying it loud and clear .... if you have never, if you thought you could never, now is the time. You are never too old, too unfit, too overweight, too busy....or any other excuse. The time is now to make the time for you. First class is always FREE!!! You won’t regret it. Ya. It’s hard. But it’s supposed to be. If it was easy everyone would do it (then we’d have trouble keeping our social distance).

We shared so many laughs at this candid engagement

We shared so many laughs at this candid engagement session last week. These lovebirds were troopers in the cool temps., using it as an excuse to snuggle so much. (As if they needed one). Everything changes when couples are able to relax and give a glimpse into the personality of their relationship. It’s also super awesome when they sport plaid for the truly Canadian winter photo shoot. Congratulations K+N! Can’t wait for the big day.

A second NEW FLAVOUR for all you cookie monsters t

A second NEW FLAVOUR for all you cookie monsters this week!!! I adore this cookie. It was a feature in the Valentines Day pack (so if you missed that boat, here’s a chance to try one of the flavours)! Espresso Shot in the Dark Chocolate Pecan Crunch is a sinful, (not so) little number. A dark chocolate espresso dough is packed with chunky chopped dark chocolate and freshly roasted pecans. Stuffed in the centre is a rich fudge brownie topped with the signature chocolate fudge ganache. Rolled in more roasted pecans, this cookie is finished with sea salt sprinkle and chocolate drizzle after being baked to absolute perfection. This one could possibly be my favourite. If I could choose, that is! I equate it to trying to choose a favourite child - you simply cannot!
Ordering is NOW OPEN for pick up next Friday March 12. Go to www.muskokastuffedcookiecompany.com for all the details.
