If you asked Edith who her favorite musician is she would probably look at you blankly and then say something random. However if you asked her if she likes Red Yarn then she would likely say “Red Yarn my favorite” she would also probably go on to tell you that we listen to Red Yarn … [Read more…]
Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of seeing Cirque du Soleil. Every time we made a trip to Disney World I would beg my parents to take me and as I got older I would then hope that we would get tickets for a show when they passed through Montreal, but … [Read more…]
One thing that I have come to learn this summer is that some nights you need to skip bedtime, grab ice cream cones and head to the park. We grabbed some cones for sorbet from Cool Moon Ice Cream and headed to Jamison Square. We ate, we climbed, we played and we left sticky, tired and happy … [Read more…]

When I was growing up I lived and breathed Newsies so much so that my parents once hid our VHS copy of it so that I couldn’t watch it. Jokes on them because I found it a year later when we moved and I made sure to make up for lost time. Needless to say … [Read more…]
