Presenting WordPress

One of the goals I’ve been working on is to try and get out of my comfort zone a bit and start doing some public speaking. Being up in front of people is not overly fun for me, but I do see the good of doing it. One area where I can see me potentiallyContinue reading “Presenting WordPress”

Morning Walk at the Marsh

Jen had the day off today, well at least until after school, so we took a bit of time this morning and went for a walk around the marsh. The water had a skim of ice on the top in some places. The grass and cat tails were shimmering with a bit of frost. OurContinue reading “Morning Walk at the Marsh”

Choosing Nova Scotia For Now

There has been much written about the state of things in Nova Scotia, and studies showing that things need to change now before it is too late for the Province. The topic has been on my mind for some time but reading the article this morning Rural Reckoning: Being young and looking for a futureContinue reading “Choosing Nova Scotia For Now”

First Halifax WordPress Meetup

Tonight I attended my first ever WordPress meetup. When I found out that Alison and Tara were organizing a meetup in Halifax I was very excited. Seeing co-workers going to meetups and WordCamps talking with others who are either passionate about, or wanting to know more and learn about WordPress had me a bit envious.Continue reading “First Halifax WordPress Meetup”

To start we got up bright and early and headed down one shore of Nova Scotia to visit Jen’s Grandparents. We unfortunately don’t get down very often, butContinue reading “Day at the Beach”

This evening we went for a wonderful family walk. My sister is still home visiting with her husband so a bunch of us got together to take Finney for a walk around  Miners Marsh. With us came my mom and my brother in laws parents as well. It was a perfect evening to be out.Continue reading “Evening Family Walk”

Public Outdoor Piano

My little town has setup something pretty interesting recently. It’s been setup for at least a couple weeks now but I just noticed it personally just the other night. In the Centre Square area they’ve setup a public piano that anyone regardless of talent can come play at anytime. It’s a pretty cool concept. MaybeContinue reading “Public Outdoor Piano”

Afternoon in Chester Nova Scotia

Yesterday afternoon we took a drive into Chester Nova Scotia. It’s a beautiful village right on the coast. There is a neat little beach that we like there called Freda’s Beach. It’s not very big, but the view is lovely and the kids like playing in the water and finding creatures like star fish andContinue reading “Afternoon in Chester Nova Scotia”
