Well, with the holidays now behind us, it’s time to look toward the future and, even though Pomme de Terrible seems to have had his plans thwarted by the Canadian Potato, we still believe him to be sneaking about our local neighbourhoods. Please keep an eye out for him and, whatever you do, don’t [...]

Well, we did it. Maggie and I traveled all the way from Vancouver to Driftpile, Alberta to perform at The North Country Fair and what a trip. On our way there we encountered Angry Arnold, who was also on his way to The North Country Fair in search of some potato pancakes. [...]

I love it when I accidentally stumble upon really cool Canadian stuff. This is, hands down, the coolest kid’s show I have seen in a very long time. Wapos Bay is a super creative stop motion animation television series that is produced in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It is purely Canadian and super aboriginal. [...]

We all love trees. And we need to continue to love trees. Trees are our lungs.
I have had and have many great relationships with trees. Planting trees, climbing
trees, building forts in trees, resting in the shade of a tree, watching squirrels
chase each other, and falling asleep next to a warm fire of fresh [...]

really is.
And to display the Gogo [...]

Gogo Bonkers and we’re making kids songs. Don’t kids make “kids songs”? I will
attempt to answer myself…….
Obviously kids songs are…..for kids. And if they are for kids there must be something
about the songs that [...]

I was walking down Main Street here in Vancouver, with my amazing mom
and my adventurous nephew, enjoying a light rain and a pleasant conversation
about the importance of good friends……when I just had to stop for there in the
window of BIRKELAND BROS WOOL SHOP were these amazing creatures
dancing and signing about all things wooly. They [...]

Gabriel Dawe has created some amazing art. He has constructed huge
sculptures out of thread. He grew up in Mexico and he was unable to practise
embroidery or textiles because he was a boy. Many years later, and now living

are inspired by [...]
