Koona is one of my best friends that helps me get outside! So I thought I’d share a few stories about her… and she looks way better on camera than I do!

Today, I thought I’d simply share a link to this video by Ken Robinson. It revolves around the education system and how it could use an update! Including more outdoor education fits nicely into his thoughts surrounding how we learn!
It was actually a bit tough to leave Fredericton this morning. I’ve met some warm and wonderful people over the past few days and have been drawn in by the city’s downtown core. Built around the Saint John River, there is a great mix of green spaces with some wonderful little shops that contribute to […]

This morning I ran out of Nova Scotia and into New Brunswick. Maybe it’s because we spent a week in Halifax, but our time in Nova Scotia seemed brief. Or maybe it’s just that getting through Newfoundland in the heart of winter seemed long! Either way, Take Me Outside hit our 3rd province today, which […]
