4 States in 1 Weekend

September 4, 2023 by Jacquie

Who would’ve guessed that becoming the left side of The Minimal Mom’s brain would come with such great bonuses like the opportunity to add four new states to my cartwheel collection in one weekend?! 🙂 When I suggested that the prize for a decluttering competition should be to visit the winners in person (just because …

Cancuning with YouTubers

January 28, 2023 by Jacquie

Somehow I ended up with a job that comes with perks like hanging out in Mexico with the likes of Dawn from The Minimal Mom, Cas from Clutterbug, Christine from Frugal Fit Mom, Kathryn from Do It on a Dime and Marybeth from At What Cost. I was so excited that the night before my …

Nice Strangers

June 1, 2022 by Jacquie

During my trip to New Brunswick my friends arranged for me to do a very informal photo shoot with their new friends, who I had never met before, just for an opportunity to practice. It’s much easier when there are no expectations, but I’m pretty happy with how these turned out for a first try …

Ministers Island

May 27, 2022 by Jacquie

Ministers Island, near St. Andrews, New Brunswick in Passamaquoddy Bay is just the coolest island ever, and definitely a must-see destination if you’re ever in that area. We were there for a good 3-4 hours and probably only saw about a tenth of it. So many different old buildings, funky trees, big fields… it’s got …

C is for Cold

May 18, 2022 by Jacquie

C is for cold… This was before they were cold. Water in May is cold. C is also for crazy. Because crazy people go in cold water and think it’s fun. C is also for chicken. That’s me. I’ll stay warm and dry, thank you. Kayaking. That’s better. 👍

Nature’s Playground

May 17, 2022 by Jacquie

We spent half a day exploring St. Andrews by-the-Sea and I didn’t realize until too late that I have very few photos from the actual town. It’s obviously by the sea, and the sea was so enticing… The best part was rambling over rocks and seaweed while the tide was low. Digging for clams.

New Brunswick Homestead

May 17, 2022 by Jacquie

I have to admit I was more than a little devastated when my new friends up and moved 16 hours away. Now they’re setting up the homesteading life I always imagined for myself, and seeing it firsthand it’s hard to be mad at them for leaving me. It’s such a lovely place, I can totally …

New Brunswick is on the Cartwheel Map!

May 17, 2022 by Jacquie

I’ve always wanted to visit the Maritimes but it just never happened till now. I can finally add New Brunswick to my cartwheeling map. Definitely going back for PEI, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland… but I might end up in NB a few more times first 🙂

Take a Picture of Me!

May 17, 2022 by Jacquie

Seeing as how I have no offspring and I’m not really a kid person, I wasn’t quite sure how travelling with a seven-year-old would go down. Turns out it’s pretty great. Travelling with this kid isn’t just about washroom breaks and snacks. It also involves photo shoots on all the rocks at every pit stop. …
