Wanna hear a funny story? I’m constantly poking fun at Brent for being from and even smaller town than I am. When we first met, he seemed so worldly so I was surprised to discover that he was from a town of just 1200 in Ontario. Imagine our delight when the OHTO invited us to…
“If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently. Well, when you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day.” ~ Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes As we waited for the clouds to clear over Bon…
*Every so often we parter with some of our favourite brands to create sponsored content on this site and this is one of those times! We teamed up with Downtown Halifax on this one for their #summerpatiosDT series and while we were compensated for this post, y’all know by know now that all opinions and…
Ah, my teeth. To date, they’ve been a constant source of self-consciousness for me as far back as I can remember. You see, they’re hard as nails (which is great) but they’ve also got their quirks. First, they’re not crooked enough for braces but they’re most certainly not straight either. Second, they’re not super yellow…
I know what you’re thinking…weird title right? Who wants and INCOMPLETE guide to Anna Maria Island? Well dearest blog readers, you do. And here’s why… We had the pleasure of spending 4 beautiful days on Anna Maria Island this year and while we had some wonderful adventures, we also realized that this is a place…
We’ve used AirBnB before but only for one off’s at the last minute and never outside of Canada so, essentially, this was our first true multi-night AirBnB experience. If you’re unfamiliar with the site, AirBnB is a place that gives homeowners the opportunity to rent out their properties to travellers. They’re often managed privately (by…
If you could only eat one meal, for the rest of your life, what would it be? Easy. Brunch! I’ve been a long time lover of all things brunch so when the opportunity for us to explore Nova Scotia’s brunch options it was an easy sell. From classic breakfast cocktails to unique takes on traditional…
We have a serious soft spot for Irish Pubs. In fact, we often daydream about owning our very own one day (no, it’s not in the plans…just a “wouldn’t it be fun if…”). Finbar’s Irish Pub in Dartmouth isn’t just a random pub for us. It actually holds a particularly special place in our hearts…
I feel like Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, often gets overlooked as a restaurant destination but over the last few weeks we’ve uncovered some brunch spots that you’ve got to put on your list and the British Bulldog Gastropub is no exception. Based on the feedback we’ve had so far, this traditional English Pub is well…
Trendz Restaurant & Wine Bar is located in the Best Western PLUS in Dartmouth, near Dartmouth crossing and had, what we thought, were some really unique features. First, it’s a wine bar so they have a large assortment of wines in their temperature controlled cellar, many of which were local (always a bonus). They also…
