Helping Touché overcome his fears

Touché comes off as though he's fearless but really, every little thing has him reactive. So I decided to work on this specifically with him and look how quickly he made progress!

My massive FAIL DAY with Touché

So yeah, not super proud of how massively I failed all day but... thought it was at least (hopefully) relatable?

Tasty Tuesday (Chips & Fries)

You can make this recipe as CRUNCHY or as soft as you want. Something to keep in mind, the thinner you slice the faster it cooks! 

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. 

Line a cookie sheet or baking sheet with tin foil and spray with a light ...

New merch designs are here!

They’re here! They’re here! I received two designs back recently which I’m so excited about. I knew my designer Taz, could elevate the artwork of ChiChi. I’m loving it!

I did find the artwork I had done as paintings are very hard to use digitally so I’ll likely be avoiding those i...

Capri and Lefty!

Hey toucans+, 

Here are some updates on merch designs... I've been trying desperately to get an accurate representation of Capri and Lefty to no avail so far. Some cute stuff, but nothing that quite embodies the quote I've come up with to accompany this so no progress there (yet) ...

ChiChi, Storm, Rasta and Morgan Merch Updates...

ChiChi - I decided to go with the cartoon design of him because I felt it spoke more to his slogan of "Don't forget to play" as it looks more playful. I am anxious to see what my graphic designer adds to it and will share it once I have something! Here is a reminder of the cartoo...

Stop Screaming Course: Is it Coming or What?!

Ok, guys... we've been freaking out over this course. As most of you know, the hard drive completely crashed on us and we sent it into a data recovery center. We could not afford the $2,500 they wanted to fix the entire thing but they were gracious enough to work a part cash, part trade deal with...

Tasty Tuesday (BirdTricks Bites)

Because I am not a fan of the ingredients in Nutriberries but understand their appeal, they were the inspiration for this recipe. I wanted to create something that could be held in a bird's foot and eaten, and used as a jackpot reward too, but I wanted healthier ingredients.

Merch update!

So I wanted you all to know I am still working away on getting more designs for my merch line. I'm currently having designs done for ChiChi, Storm, Morgan and Lefty. This one was done for Storm but it doesn't quite do it for me, but I still wanted to share it with all of you.

Family Friday (Stage Life)

We often get asked when our daughter, whose name is Sydney Capri but she prefers to go by Capri, first appeared on stage. She was just 16 months old when she had her initial on stage debut on board the Norwegian Dawn! I know this one is short, but it sure is sweet...
