The girls worked on their balance training this week in their skiing lessons, which means they needed to hold their arms out a lot and even ski on just one ski. Things most of us seasoned skiers would really struggle with, yet these little bundles [...]

The girls and I love to go skiing and on the way up we tend to listen to either some Gilles Vigneault’s Un Dimanche à Kyoto, The High School Musical 3 sound track or my personal favourite the Barenaked Ladies kids album SnackTime. This week we made our way up to Vallée Bleue listening to [...]

Anyone who has visited any of my blogs knows that I have quite the penchant for Twitter.
