I just want to start off by saying how nice it is to have a long weekend in the middle of February. After the long, dark month of January, it was so nice to have a cozy weekend to relax and hang with family. And as you may know, Nick and I don’t have a […]
Winter Weekend Road Trip in Cumberland County
This past weekend, Nick and I joined two of our friends for a little winter getaway a few hours from Halifax. The main goal of our trip was to enjoy a ski day at Wentworth, but we also found some time to explore Pugwash, the little corner of Nova Scotia where our Airbnb was located. […]
A Wintery Saturday Adventure across the Harbour.
Last Saturday, Nick and I were looking for a little adventure – something new to see – to spice up our weekend. I’m really a fan of spontaneous day trips to anywhere accessible by foot or by transit, since we don’t have a car, and this was the perfect lil excursion. I was actually so […]
My Experience with the Halifax Brewery Market Box.
If you’ve been following my Instagram for awhile now, you’ll know that my absolute favourite thing over the last few months has been the Halifax Brewery Market Box. Yet somehow, I haven’t written a full blog post about it yet! Well, I’m changing that, and today, I’m sharing my experience with the Brewery Box and […]
Life Lately: Moving to Downtown Halifax!
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 […]
