W H E E Z Y

Last night, I had a gig in Revelstoke with two lovely comedians. I had a cold when we left town, and it really decided to blossom into its own snotty monument to sickness by the time we got there. I had a wicked nap then did the show, where being sick made me sweat more than I already do, which … Read More

Magically, I will be showered and … Read More

Ahh, AUGUST

Hi beauties, Summer’s starting to wind down. Weird, hey? As a Mom, I always find the beginning of July is my absolute favourite part of summer.
