Currently listening to: Redneck Wonderland by Midnight Oil 📻🎸🎵 I’m saddened to hear about the recent passing of Rob Hirst, founder and longtime drummer of Midnight Oil. They remain one of the best live shows I’ve ever experienced. Redneck Wonderland is one of my all-time favorites.

My next hot chocolate experience at YYC Hot Chocolate Fest was Apprentice Cafe’s Dubai Hot Chocolate Affogato. It was delicious, but not quite as good as their award-winning Ferrero Rocher from last year. Still, a treat worth trying though…

As part of our puppy’s training class, we were asked to teach her a trick she could showcase at graduation. My daughter has been working with her on the “Bang Bang” play-dead trick, and it’s hard to believe how far she’s come after just a couple of hours of practice. Overacting much?  Our puppy …

Currently Listening to: Demon Days by Gorillaz 📻🎸🎵

Currently listening to: The Kids Are Alt-Right by Bad Religion 📻🎸🎵

I had an amazing time with my kiddos at the Bad Religion/The Offspring concert last night. Both bands absolutely rocked it and proved they haven’t lost a step. 🎵🎸 You can find some of my videos on Loops - Bad Religion: American Jesus + The Offspring: Self Esteem. Enjoy!

Currently listening to: The Gray Race by Bad Religion 📻🎸🎵 Another incredible band I can’t wait to see this Sunday! 🎫 #Music

Currently listening to: Ixnay On The Hombre by the Offspring 📻🎸🎵 This is still one of my favourite all-time albums and I’m excited to see them next Sunday (with Bad Religion) at the Saddledome. 🎫
