Well, it’s been a minute since I last blogged. And that is because things have been BUSY. On November 1, Nick, Richard (our kitty) and I finally moved into our new place in downtown Halifax… after a month and a half of living with our parents! It was really nice living at home and catching […]
Halifax Burger Week 2020 Reviews and Ratings!
So I thought four burgers in ten days was my limit. I even had this post ready to go for Friday, but apparently with Halifax Burger Week, anything can happen! Halifax Burger Week has been running since 2013, and somehow, this is the first one I’ve participated in. Let me tell you, it’s been a […]
This and That: Halifax Edition
On Saturday, we were really feeling the two consecutive nights of burgers (more on that in my Halifax Burger Week blog post coming later this week). 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 Perfect Sunday Morning on the Bluff Wilderness Trail
The best weekend mornings start with a burst of invigorating fresh air, and end with a hot coffee and fresh homemade cinnamon buns… at least, that’s how our morning went last Sunday. And I would repeat it for the next thousand Sunday mornings if I could. Just before 9am, Nick and I jumped into the […]
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 […]
Nocturne 2020 on the Halifax Waterfront
October is proving to be one of the best months of the year on the east coast. It’s been five years since I’ve been home in October, so I’m glad we moved back in time to experience it this year. On Friday night, it was relatively warm and there was no wind, so I thought […]
Walking off our Turkey Coma at Nichols Lake
This year, Nick and I were fortunate enough to attend four dinners during the October long weekend, three of which included turkey. This is a nice benefit of moving back home – no shortage of friends and family – but after two of four meals, we were starting to feel it. On Sunday morning, we […]
Spooky Season Ghost Stories at Citadel Hill
Nick and I have spent the last month reacquainting ourselves with Halifax, after so much time away. And one of the first spooky season things we did was as “Halifax” as it gets… Citadel Hill Ghost Tours. I have not visited Citadel Hill in a long time, and I was not disappointed. For anyone who […]
A Blustery Autumn Hike at Polly Cove Trail
It was a windy, grey Wednesday, just a few short days into freedom after 14 days of quarantine. If you’re not in the Atlantic Bubble, you may not know that anyone coming into the Atlantic provinces has to quarantine for 14 days before doing anything. I am appreciative of the rule and the security it […]
