Our Farewell
Our September marked another change in our lives. Similar to last year, where we wound down life in Manitoba and prepared for a big move, the same thing has taken place in Nova Scotia. Both of us have been so grateful for this home over the past year, but at…

Our Final Few Visitors
Our summer is coming to a close, but that has not slowed our revolving door of guests. To complete the list, we had two more rounds of hosting at The Peters Chateau. First up was our friend from Winnipeg, Katie, and her son Jude. This also marked the occasion of…

A Senseational Spa Day
Since Amy and I started dating, we have enjoyed getting out to Nordic Spa’s at least twice a year. Back in Winnipeg, we loved visiting Thermea. Everything from the pools to the food was an unforgettable experience each time, and it was something that we thought we would miss when…
