Health & Nutrition | Coupe Rogers with Nespresso

I love Montreal.  I spent many days there wandering the city as an angsty teenager in search of great food, new clothes and unique live music venues.  One of the perks of moving back to Ottawa is having the proximity to this wonderful european-like city again.  So, when I got the call that Nespresso wanted to send me there on behalf of Do The Daniel for Le Coupe Rogers, I immediately said yes… or oui!

This year already feels so different. I know what a school day looks like, and that he’ll be ok. He has friends he’s excited to see, and I have some silence I’m excited for!
