Who doesn't love a good craft sale? Especially one close to the holiday season for some unique gift purchases and seasonal fun. I do! My mom and I attend the Scandinavian Christmas Market year after year to line up and hopefully get some traditional baking. The bake...
For our second camping trip of the year we booked a campsite at Gull Harbour Campground in Hecla Provincial Park. The weather was not looking good for the weekend of June 7 but we were determined to not let the rain ruin our fun. This was the first time we loaded the...
What to do on a sunny Saturday afternoon? Well that's easy! How about a hike? Here's a little blog about a lovely day trip I planned with Mr. Darcy back in June, 2019. Everything was just beginning to bloom and summer felt like it had finally arrived. Brokenhead...
