Hey there! I’m Alexa, a self-proclaimed foodie, triathlete, distance runner, and videographer. 

Where’d the domain name come from?

In second grade my teacher gave us all nicknames. My last name is Lampasona, so he gave me the nickname “Lampnsofa.” It stuck… so “Life with Lampnsofa” shares my life with you!

FOOD

I believe food is more than just nutrition. Cooking is an experience, a stress-reliever, and I love creating new recipes. I’m sorta a food snob. If I had the money, I would shop at Whole Foods every day. It gives me satisfaction to unpack those paper bags in my kitchen. I base my meals around produce: lots of vegetables and fruit because color not only adds beauty but nutrition! People would say I’m a health-food freak…. but I do love baking. Homemade cookies, cupcakes, and treats are always worth it.

FITNESS

I’m a triathlete, but I’d have to say my least favorite part of the race is the swim. I’ve been running since I can remember… I think I ran my first one-mile race when I was 6. I got it from my parents: Mom was a triathlete, Dad was a marathon runner (he ran Boston.) And my grandparents were marathoners too (both ran the 100th running of the Boston Marathon.) I’m motivated to train every day and I love the feeling of satisfaction when I finish a hard workout or a race.

CULTURE

I have a curiosity for local culture, and I try to check out local events or festivals, particularly if they deal with food. I love hiking, going to new restaurants, or local farms. People are so interesting and I have a knack for finding random people and starting conversations!
