If you like carrots, rabbits, and the IB ‘5 Approaches to Learning’, then you’re going to love this post. These IB posters are designed to communicate the the learning skills of the International Baccalaureate program. These posers are available as printable downloads at the Land of Le Beef Etsy shop.

Happy Birthday Maddy

Today is my daughter’s 4th birthday (happy birthday Maddy!), and every year draw her a picture that in some way reflects who she was at that age. By the time she’s 18 she’ll have pages that tell a story of her life.

This is a very typical scene in our life - Maddy singing some random song (that she makes up as she goes along), with some of her favourite toys laying around (usually a lot more than this), while her little brother either watches in confusion or tries to join in. As a rare treat we might see the neighbourhood cat walk by the window, or as an even rarer treat we might see a raccoon.

This our home, and this is exactly the kind of moment I never want to forget.

Bees!

Whenever my daughter and I sit down to draw together, she always wants me to draw a bee. I don't know why, but I'm sure she has her reasons. Anyway, every year for her birthday I like to make something special for her, so this year I decided to satisfy her desire for bees. 

Eastside Flea (my first market experience)

This last weekend I had a table at a local Vancouver market, the Eastside Flea, where I sold some of my classic beloved items such as Beef Buddy cards, prints, and some exclusive copies of TomatoPotato (all of which are available online in my Etsy shop). I would like to say thank you to everyone who came by, told me how cool my stuff was, and supported the Land of Le Beef. 

the 4th Annual Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar

If you follow the Land of Le Beef on Facebook or Instagram, then you are well aware of the annual Land of Le Beef Christmas Advent Calendar (you can check out previous years' calendars here and here). This year's theme was 'Things I Want for Christmas (but probably won't get)', and once again it was a nonstop thrill ride. I hope to see you all again next year.
