What are Buskers Mommy?
August 10, 2009
This past weekend we took the kids down to the Halifax International Busker Festival. My five year old was quite curious and wanted to understand what a Busker does.

When I think music and kids in Halifax, I instantly think of heading down to the Farmer's Market on a Saturday morning. Probably not your most traditional place to go, however the atmosphere is bustling and alive and the kids have so much to take in.
