The Power of Pulling Together

April 1, 2016March 30, 2016Leave a comment

    It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had -- although fresh tracks, a sweet mountain bike descent in which I manage to stay off the brakes, a crash-tackle hug from a dear friend, and a baby falling asleep on my chest are nice, too. My last year at University, my three best mates and … Continue reading The Power of Pulling Together

Take a book, leave a book. It’s an experiment.

March 31, 2016March 25, 2016Leave a comment

Caught with a free afternoon and NO BOOK? Yes, it is a crisis, and it's made worse if you didn't get the memo about the library being closed over the Easter long weekend, Fear not!

Seedy Saturday is coming to Pemberton, April 2, 1-4pm

March 29, 2016March 23, 2016Leave a comment

Learn some songs with your baby. Registration is open for Mother Goose

March 25, 2016March 23, 2016Leave a comment

Most of the "organized" stuff I did with my kid, when he was a baby, felt like a failure (and I tried not to do too much of it because it felt Herculean to get out the door and arrive anywhere at an appointed time.) He didn't sit nicely on the carpet and listen to … Continue reading Learn some songs with your baby. Registration is open for Mother Goose

Xa’xsta First Nation members drum in the spring

March 24, 2016March 24, 2016Leave a comment

I missed the opportunity to post an invitation to attend a drumming event at Tipella that took place on Monday to bring in the start of spring - my apologies. (I've been blaming daylight saving for being off my game, but I guess I have to just embrace the difficult wake-ups and move on. :)) … Continue reading Xa’xsta First Nation members drum in the spring
