"what the world needs now, is love, sweet love..." and... Respect.

In this episode of PPPPP we consider the word RESPECT. What does it mean to respect someone, is respect important in a family, in the world? Who do we respect?

Nicole and Jen interview two Kootenay parents that they respect and ask questions to understand how these moms consider respect in their worlds and to see how they engender respect in their families.

We respect and appreciate the Kootenay Kids Society for inviting us to produce this podcast and thank Katherine Van der Veen and Andrea Purcell for sharing their time.

We thank Dave Ronald of Allears Music Productions for the intro music and mastering of this episode.

Special thanks to Nicole Purvis for her editing and sound manipulation skills, always calm and considerate even when given fragments of sound and vague ideas.

We respect the hard working creatives in the world like Justin Trawick who blend our favorites, bluegrass and Aretha, into a fun version of a classic song. Check out his version of RESPECT on youtube.

Finally, we respect you, our listeners, for checking in and allowing us the pleasure of this podcast conversation. Thank you.

Who do you respect?

Here it is... a cool refreshing sip of a podcast for your ears all about the best parts of summer; talk of tall icy drinks, summer activities to enjoy with our families, reminiscences of summer jobs past and what artists do when life offers a twist.

In this episode we interview Jess Phillips from the Nelsonkids.ca website about fun things going on this summer and Sydney Black, Executive Director of the Nelson Arts Council about what Mural Festival and Art Walk will look like this year ndac.ca

We connect with a few colleagues about their first summer jobs and we interview a local post man about the best parts of walking a mail route in the summertime.

As always, huge thanks to Kootenay Kids Society and Nelson's Family Place. Watch for the return of full programing this fall at Family Place including our free, drop in playgroup and Pancake breakfast!!

Love and gratitude to Nicole Purvis for her editing skills and a tall glass of lemonade to my family Tyuss Ronald and Dave Ronald of Allears Music Productions and Wav-Legion fame for the sound bytes, audio mastering and original music.

Yummmm, nothing is better than a tasty mid day snack. Snacks keep us going, break up a long task and can even act as ploys to get us where we need to be...the actual carrot on that stick!

Parents know the importance of a snack but sometimes we get stuck in a snack rut. In this episode of the podcast we explore 'Snacking'...its a bigger topic than we realized.

We interview the experts, kids and parents to hear their snacking favorites and then speak with a real expert and Kootenay based Instragram influencer @DrPamelaRD Dr. Pamela Fergusson about her favorite vegan snack choices. You can find out more about Dr. Pamela and her delicious plant based recipes at pamelafergusson.com

Well, What is your favorite snack? We have decided on all the orange foods...carrots, goldfish crackers, cheddar cheese.

Nah, not really. But kinda.

Thank you, as always, to Kootenay Kids for supporting this endevour and to our amazing production crew. Thanks to Nicole Purvis for keen sound editing, to Dave Ronald aka wav-DR. for our original theme song and songs throughout and to All Ears Music Studio for sound mastering and to Tyuss Ronald for help with the intro.

Hooray, it is spring! Grab a snack and go outside!
