One favourite Acadian dish is the poutine! I created this video a few years ago. The traditional recipe is a good one to share on the eve of Acadian national day, August 15th. Try it! youtu.be/WrxaFtPdLYM?...

I've always been proud to be Canadian. Most Canadians are not very loud or outspoken about our patriotism. But, during my walk this morning, I saw dozens of Canadian flags. Dozens! A few years ago I might have seen two or three. Be Canadian. Buy Canadian. And celebrate. Happy Birthday Canada!

Reflection. #meditation #mindful

At the #Riverview Lions Club, the 4th annual GMRD Book Fair. #kidlit

Will I see you there Saturday? I hope so! #Moncton #Riverview #Dieppe

I'm happy to have Sleepytime Tales placed in another children's hospital today. Thanks to Child Life Specialist Jessica for adding the book to their resources for caregivers, parents and grandparents at IWK. #Halifax #IWK #kidlit #CanKidLit

Hey parents and grandparents - come to the book fair in Riverview this Saturday! I'll be there sharing by children's bedtime story collection, Sleepytime Tales. I'll also preview one of the audiobook stories for you. #Moncton #kidlit #storytime

Cozy reading times at Moncton library (this photo) and Fredericton library that past couple of days. Is there anything more rewarding than a child listening to a story? #kidlit

It is a small world! Both Paul Green, now VP Comms at Horizon Health, and Brad Perry, Sr. Comms Advisor are former colleagues of mine from the days in the news biz. It was nice to catch up! #kidlit #Fredericton #Moncton

Parents and grandparents around Moncton, please bring your little ones to the library this afternoon. I will share two of my twelve stories from Sleepytime Tales. 3:30pm. See you then!

Time for a nostalgic stroll through Fredericton and remembering the days when the stories I told were often of the true "breaking news" variety of yesteryear, supported by an incredible team of camera people and fellow journalists.

A copy for the children's area on the third floor at DECRH. Thanks to the staff for making this possible. Now getting ready for a 330pm reading from Sleepytime Tales at the Fredericton Public Library. Parents and grandparents please bring your little ones for storytime!
