And I’m back. Where have I been all week? Have I been off in the wilds on jungle safari? Shooting through dangerous rapids in a water raft? Scaling mountains? Parachuting? Backpacking across Europe? Unfortunately, no. I’ve actually been here the whole time. I’ve just been working at home because my travelling partner, Stacy, went on…

Looks like some cooler weather headed our way, but wasn’t the weekend beautiful?! Stacy and I actually took Saturday off and went out and enjoyed the day. Of course there are tons of pictures. I’ll post them a little later and tell you all about it. I added all the posts and photos from last…

Well, I had a little time so I finally wrote the beginning to our story. If you’re just joining us and have no idea what I’m talking about, let me fill you in. About a week ago someone emailed me and suggested a fun exercise to do might be to write a fiction story together.…

And we’re back! You might have noticed some posts in the Blog were AWOL most of last evening. And almost all the pictures in Bread ‘n Molasses were missing in action. It was pretty crazy. Who am I kidding? It’s still kinda crazy. As I said before, we launched the new Mighty Miramichi site and…

Perhaps I spoke too soon. Bread ‘n Molasses experienced technical difficulties this evening. BIG TIME!! The Mighty Miramichi site got a face-lift (doesn’t it look great?!) and we switched servers and things got a little bit crazy after that. Most of the pictures weren’t showing up in BnM. Well, they still aren’t. As I write…

Yay! Another issue of Bread ‘n Molasses has just gone live on the web! Well, actually it was mostly all there since yesterday, but I just sent the email to our subscriber list letting people know it’s ready. I’m kinda sneaky that way. J Yesterday was the official opening of the Miramichi Walking Challenge. Stacy…

Happy Labour Day! I’m working hard to get the next issue of Bread ‘n Molasses up, but I’m sure you’re having an awesome day off. If you’re interested, here’s an article about the Origins of Labour Day. Have you heard about the Miramichi Walking Challenge? All the details will be available in the September issue…

FYI for all you book lovers out there — David Adams Richards is in town. He’ll be at the Books Inn tonight signing copies of his latest novel from 7 – 9 pm. What a beautiful day on the river! The first words out of my nephew’s mouth when his eyes flutter open in the…

Yesterday’s interviews went well. Yay! I got a press release the other day. I thought I’d better post it here because the grand opening will have taken place before the next issue of Bread ‘n Molasses goes live. A lot of people I talk to swear by pilates and yoga as the best way to…

Check the archives for the entries from last week. Today is an interview day and the final week before Bread ‘n Molasses September goes live. So far, everything seems to be right on schedule. I’m feeling pretty good about articles I’ve written and the overall content of the new issue. When I say today is…

TGIF! I got a great suggestion the other day from one of our readers. She wanted me to write a novel online, here in the blog, so you guys could follow the progress. “Hold on a minute! Let’s not go crazy!” I said. “I mean I wrote about how insane I get when I’m writing…

I think I can safely say I am the quietest person around our office. Because I don’t say much some people think I’m shy, others think I’m stuck-up, and some might even think I’m not too bright. Of course, none of it is true — I’m just part of that really rare breed of people…

An interesting thing happened yesterday that really got me thinking about what it means to live here in the Miramichi Region — about what it means to be a Miramichier. In the newspaper sometimes you see letters from tourists overwhelmed by gratitude toward Miramichiers who have gone above and beyond to help them through a…
