Eat your heart out, Leo


In a not-quite-but-almost di Caprio king-of-the-world moment, Annie and Molly make like queens of the B.C. ferry while their B.C.-obsessed travellin mama decides she is either (a) a B.C. person trapped in an Ontario body or (b) was a B.C. crunchy-granola type in a previous life.

P.S. Travellin mama may never want to leave B.C.

Splaatttt...

Proving they’re much cooler and tougher than their mama – who was TOTALLY freaked out by jellyfish as a child - Annie and Molly line their toes up for a comparison shot at this Pacific paradise near Powell River, B.C.

(Ma Harper, if you're reading this right now, I am STILL TOTALLY PISSED about that time you made me go into the jellyfish-infested waters in Nova Scotia when I was eight.)

Molly reaches for a toothy milestone



So here we are, after the heat of the prairies and the snow and cold of the Rockies, with umbrellas and raincoats and duck boots on B.C.’s magnificent Sunshine Coast. The giant crabs, the steady rain, the smell of fish and hard work – it’s all perfectly British Columbia. Fans of The Beachcombers may well want to make a pilgrimage to this place – it looks exactly as it did on TV all those years ago - and the Molly’s Reach cafe itself is still in full swing. We have a special reason never to forget it: our own Molly lost her first tooth here, and her Kinder Surprise container proves as handy as ever, even once the chocolate is gone.
