A few visits in and I’m getting a little used to my surroundings in Ottawa…finding a few favourite restaurants and spots I like to visit. With Emily graduating from Ottawa University, my folks joined us for six days away to Continue reading A quick whirl through Ottawa and Montreal…
There was a time, working in an office, where I’d be the first to arrive each morning and put on a pot of coffee…drinking most of it before anyone else would arrive. I loaded my coffee with cream and sugar…and eventually came to Continue reading Learning about McCafe Espresso Blends…#ANewWaytoCafe
The first thing that surprised me is that families decorate their cabin doors and there are full Pinterest pages dedicated to the craft! The second…that the ship is massive and the entire look and feel of the place is incredibly classy and not over-the-top Continue reading Let me show you around the Disney Magic!
It was a Friday night, Opening Night, and when I asked Megan if she had any plans, I was fully prepared for the teen-aged “but it’s the weekend” explanation…so much so, that I already had another friend in mind to Continue reading A night out with Beauty (and the Beast)
When I was first asked to get on a bus, drive four hours to PEI for lunch, and then drive back home again…I thought it sounded NUTS! And then…I thought about it a little further. I mean, really…four hours on a bus Continue reading Lunch with Chef Michael Smith and #GoBarley
I completely took the day off on Thursday while myself and two girlfriends went on an adventure exploring various Halifax & Dartmouth shops and spending a leisurely day together! And, for someone who works the way I do…with so much going on all Continue reading Exploring Halifax & Dartmouth Shops… Part 1
Not seventy-two hours after arriving home from Ottawa last week, Bones and I re-packed our bags and headed to Waterloo for five days of volleyball. Bones has played with the Bedford Blizzards for the last four years so the moms on Continue reading Our Volleyball Weekend in Waterloo…
Bottom line is this…anytime I get to spend quality time with my kids is FANTASTIC. Not the running around crazy kind of stuff…when you can’t quite catch your breath and you’re taxiing from one place to the next while trying Continue reading A weekend in Ottawa with my favourite people!
I got married at Disney. Sort of. Four friends on a girls weekend away from any responsibilities, we decided to visit Disney for a different kind of magical adventure…as in, we headed to Epcot to eat and drink our way around Continue reading Happily ever after…
I literally slept 13 hours Friday night and then proceeded to sit on an Adirondack Chair for another 12 the very next day! It was the height of laziness…followed by what was definitely a busy couple of weeks. It’s possible Continue reading Work hard…relax harder! Finding my balance…
It seemed fitting that Bones and I would spend Canada Day, in one of our amazing Canadian National Historic Sites…Fortress Louisbourg. Slated as the largest reconstruction project in North America with rebuilding that began in the 1960s, the original settlement was Continue reading Canada Day at Fortress Louisbourg and Beaumont-Hamel…
When was the last time you visited Ottawa? Or have you never been? What if you were given the opportunity to visit our nation’s capital on CANADA DAY! How amazingly awesome would that be? Even better…how fantastic would it be if Continue reading Team Up for Canadian Chicken Contest & #TeamCdnChicken Twitter Party
My plan, as part of the Downtown Halifax Business Commission’s “Big Day Downtown” (an annual event where bloggers head out to explore Downtown Halifax with $150 pre-paid Visa card), was to spend a fabulous day with my kids…outside…meandering among the Continue reading Big Day Downtown – Experience It All…
It was the “chalk bombing” on Spring Garden’s sidewalk. The beautiful window displays filled with elegant clothes. The sign on the floor outside the main level shop. Silhouettes of my friend Fancy and her business partners Candace, Katharine and Deanne. Continue reading Mills…a star is reborn…
Friday night was the first of three “friends and family” nights at “2 Doors Down”…the new restaurant owned and operated by the same folks who own Chives which…you guessed it…is two doors down from their famed restaurant. I headed out Continue reading 2 Doors Down…
“You and the kids should come to Florida with us.” “You’re Crazy” I replied, time and time again. She even said it after our night in a hotel in Paris when I snored like a trucker. (Note: If you’re a Continue reading Vacation…
I remember the very first time I wore a pair of cowboy boots. Instant confidence! I walked different. Felt different. The sound of “heel on ground” made me think different. I dropped by Road Apples today…my “go to” tack shoppe for everything Continue reading The Saltwater Cowboy…
Up until Friday night, I couldn’t see two hours past my overstuffed calendar to figure out where I could possibly fit in purchasing Christmas gifts let alone hauling out the decorations, trimming the tree and stringing lights outside! Now, suddenly, Continue reading Elf the Musical…
