Happy New Year! Who else is stoked that we got through 2020?! I definitely am. And now, I have my first blog post of the year, as well as first post of the month. And it’s my classic first week of the month post, wrapping up last month and giving a highlight of what’s happening […]
What’s Happening: December Edition
For the first Monday blog of each month, I thought it would be fun to do a little recap of the month before, as well as a look forward. So today, I’m starting with the top 3 best and worst things from November 2020 – a real rollercoaster month – and then diving into a […]
Five Pandemic-Friendly Activities for the 2020 Holiday Season
It’s no secret that the holidays this year will range anywhere from plain weird to extremely sad, depending on how your 2020 has been going (I’m hoping for all of you that it’s on the “plain weird” end of the spectrum). In general, Nick and I both are very happy and grateful that we are […]
Life Lately: Moving to Downtown Halifax!

So Nick and I decided to take a long stroll through Halifax to explore and check out… well, everything. We started in the north end, which is quickly becoming […]

A Saturday Full of Nova Scotia Goodness
For the last 5 years, any time I came home for vacation or the holidays, I felt the need to cram a lot of people and activities into a short period of time before leaving. Apparently, it hasn’t quite sunk in that I’m not leaving the east coast any time soon, because I am still […]
How We Got Back Here…
If you had asked me in January how likely it was that I’d be sitting in Nova Scotia by September of this year, I would have said unlikely. However, a global pandemic and a semi-quarter life crisis were excellent fuel to the fire under my butt to get back east. Now, here I am in […]
