DIY Bird Feeder I saw this DIY Bird Feeder on The Chew . Daphne Oz was making them and they looked so easy and fun. Amber and Brian made them when he was visiting. It was a great ice breaker to get everyone talking, laughing and interacting. They are easy for kids to make and the…
Christmas in November at The Fairmont Jasper
Christmas in November at The Fairmont Jasper I couldn’t have been more excited when I was invited to cover Christmas in November at The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.
