I’m going to go out on a limb and say that many of us will be staying in this Valentine’s Day. While take-out is always a great option, you may have reached the point where you know the delivery guys by first, middle and last name (thanks, global pandemic) and are instead leaning towards cooking. […]
Travel plans may be on a standstill, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get away. A few weekends ago, Destination Restigouche sent me to the neighboring community of Charlo, NB, for some winter fun. Our region is incredibly blessed with an abundance of winter activities for all ages and I’m always happy when I have […]
It’s officially 10 days until Christmas. If you’re anything like my former self, you may have just started Christmas shopping, in which case you may or may not be currently hyperventilating into a brown paper bag. Fear not, local friends, because this year I’ve scouted out some of the best last-minute gift ideas and included […]
For me, parenting a child with ADHD has often felt like trying to tame the ocean. Wild, whirling, at times catastrophic, always beautiful. It will take your breath away with its magnificence but keep your head above water or you’ll drown instead. Its waves will bring you to your knees, it has to power to […]
It’s no secret that I like to eat, so when the Murphy Hospitality Group (MHG) approached me with a possible partnership, it was a no-brainer. If you’ve never heard of MHG, here’s a little bit of background: in 1980, owners Kevin Murphy and his wife Kathy opened their first restaurant. Fast forward to today and […]
Every summer, we load the kids in the car and head to Prince Edward Island. My partner’s family owns a farm in DeSable and a cottage in Brackley, and I’m insanely thankful to have the opportunity to spend time so much time there. My in-laws are also the sweetest people on the planet, and don’t […]
Cashmere & Cocktails is one, y’all! While I’d hoped to be getting tanked in our backyard with friends for the occasion, the pandemic stunted all in-person plans and we will be having virtual drinks instead. You win some, you lose some, folks! It’s hard to believe that it’s only been 12 months since the blog’s […]
Over the holidays, I decided to make healthy dog treats. This may seem odd considering I don’t own a dog (for the record, I regularly wish that weren’t the case) but I tend to live vicariously through my friends’ furry critters. Enter Brando and Ollie. Brando, a dark grey Schnauzer mix, is what most would […]
For those of you who don’t know me on a personal level, I use to be a wedding photographer. Then life threw me a pretty significant curveball and I went on hiatus. And by hiatus, I actually mean quit. I stopped dead in my tracks. Not only did I quit wedding photography, I quit photography […]
