Behold the Big Spruce Brewery. Dance with the Ra Ra Rasputin Imperial Stout, aged in Single Malt Whiskey Barrels from the Glenora Distillery, Canada’s only single malt whiskey maker. On a hot summer day, sample 8 beers on tap, perhaps the great Bitter Get’er Black IPA, the terrific Complexified Barrel Aged Baltic Porter, and the sublime […]
This Fashion Friday I want to show some pictures and videos from our visit to Egypt Falls in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. When we told the hub’s dad that we’d be in Cape Breton for a few days after our tour of Newfoundland, he insisted that we try and make it to Egypt Falls. What he […]
A few years ago, during a weekend getaway on Prince Edward Island, we discovered a restaurant called New Glasgow Lobster Suppers and experienced one of the more memorable meals in all of our travels. In a large restaurant, amidst what could have been more than 200 diners, we sat down and enjoyed a delicious lobster […]
We recently jumped on a new BMO Mastercard Air Miles credit card offer, and as you may recall, some of the perks included bonus Air Miles, discounted mileage redemption AND lounge passes. Last week we finally boarded the flight to Sydney, Nova Scotia that we had booked using those points. Since the original booking of the […]
As you know we enjoy taking our little ones out to dine with us and they’ve been known to accompany us on some pretty epic menu tastings around the city of Toronto and around the world. Last week a Cape Breton restaurant came under fire when the owner took to their Facebook account to complain about […]
This summer we spent a couple weeks exploring Nova Scotia and one of the highlights was most definitely our Cape Breton drive with the kids.

Wolfville, located in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia is a cute little cultural hub that is quite baby friendly. They pride themselves in offering a cultivated experience for the mind, body and soil. Yes they deliver on that promise! Neither the hubs nor I had been by way of Wolfville before and given that […]
I finally got the chance to explore Halifax and while it seems we always visit this city with water-views mainly for weddings, there’ s plenty on offer for those with babies and toddlers. The hubs worked and studied in Halifax so he has plenty of memories and even he took the opportunity to explore some […]
Taking in the scenic drive of the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia will bring you to the Western side by way of Cheticamp and Inverness and this is when you should check into the Island Sunset Resort. Nestled in the Belle Cote village this is the perfect beachfront spot for families, large or small, to […]
We’re still sharing our Nova Scotia tales and as I mentioned on Tuesday’s post, we loved our stay in the Wolfville area. Our stay at the Old Orchard Inn with a toddler and baby was filled with relaxing views and the central location for our exploration could not be beat. This family owned and operated […]
