At Home Adventures – Dog Walks & Perch Fishing

It's been tricky to get out and do all of the overnight hiking I had planned for this summer. With the heat wave we have been going through, and all of the nearby fires and smoke, it's best to stay closer to home. But, fewer hiking opportunities just opens the door for other fun activities, … Continue reading At Home Adventures – Dog Walks & Perch Fishing →

A Quick Winter Overnight

This past week, I have been busy studying for a work-related course. It usually seems that these courses align with the warmest weather that week, so I found myself staring enviously out the window as my boyfriend enjoyed a cold drink on the patio. Luckily, some friends had been wanting to plan a winter camping … Continue reading A Quick Winter Overnight →

Living the Lake Life

A few months ago, my boyfriend and I bought our first home together.

May Long in the Dirt

Just one week after our walk in the snow storm, the weather was finally looking warmer for the May long weekend.

Walking a Half Marathon Through the City of Saskatoon

Getting Off the Pavement Without Leaving the City

Given the choice, I always prefer a dirt trail to a sidewalk, but it isn't always convenient to pack up and drive out of the city in search of a good trail. Fortunately, there are adventures to be had within city limits. Saskatoon has beautiful paved paths along the riverside, and if you look even … Continue reading Getting Off the Pavement Without Leaving the City →
