Tweet IMG_3061 Max at the Burroughs Street Tot Lot in Jamaica Plain Cerulean cloud-peppered skies, electric orange shades shimmering in the trees, crisp happy air, and the fine grit on a freshly picked Cortland apple. Fall in New England. This is what life’s about. After our short but sweet stint in urban penthouse-living in Montreal, […]

Ladies and gentleman — or should I say, mesdames et messieurs — welcome to our very kid-friendly home in Montreal, Quebec. IMG_7042 It’s with a huge sigh of relief to come to our Canadian abode after spending over two months in […]

Tweet Hot, muggy Washington, DC is our home for nine whole weeks this summer — it’s the longest we’ve been stationed in one spot so far on this Lion King tour, and it’s nice to stay a while. Even if it’s supremely swampy. IMG_6241 Our view of the Capitol Building from our neighborhood perch in […]

Tweet IMG_4611 At Tavern by Trevor, on Spadina & Richmond Oh, Canada! The Hollicks have gone international. That’s right — we broke out our passports and traversed north of the border into Canadian territory, for almost two months of downtown Toronto city living.

Tweet We doggone hit the weather lottery this past winter, and it didn’t stop once we left Hawaii. March came in like a lamb, out like a lamb, in sunny Seattle. Yes, you heard right. Sunny. How lucky we were, in so many ways… IMG_2701 There was barely any rain, by Pacific Northwest standards (maybe […]

Tweet There’s nice … and then there’s niiiiiiiice. IMG_9235 We’ve arrived on the island of Oahu, Hawaii with The Lion King for two months.

Tweet Jack Kerouac once said that “LA is a jungle,” but since we’ve moved into Studio City, LA’s been more like a nicely manicured topiary in the San Fernando Valley. Oh man, we’ve become soooo LA.

Tweet IMG_6743 Question: What if The Lone Ranger and Howdy Doody had a joint garage sale, and someone fervently galloped over with a pickup truck and asked them in desperation, “How much for the whole dang load?” This someone was most likely the owner of our vacation rental in Scottsdale, and instead of driving these […]

Tweet Dagnabbit! We’re back in Texas! Yes, we could have used another month in Pittsburgh, with the gorgeous weather, surprisingly lush landscape, and friends and family to visit with.  But perhaps it was meant to be. We were blessed with a pretty seamless first airplane ride as a family of FIVE (with Turkey!).  In fact, […]
