Neighbours. They really make or break where you live. Whenever someone mentions a bad neighbour, I immediately become a one-upper and tell them about the time I lived across from the same murderer twice. He was an attempted murderer, but when you shoot someone in the...

One of my favourite photos from my relationship is one of just Dana (my husband) at our wedding, thirteen years ago, standing at the front of the church. I’m not in the photo, but looking at his face, there is no doubt he’s looking at me. I’d know that look anywhere:...

In 2006, three of my mother’s best friends (and second moms to me) hosted a wedding shower for me. They asked everyone to bring a recipe card of their favourite recipe. My friend, Tricia, gave me her pumpkin bread recipe and it has been a family favourite ever...

“I’ve been homeschooling my kids,” my former roommate (now Bay Street lawyer friend) says to me. “I didn’t miss my calling.” Preach. Teaching is not for everyone. There’s a reason why many of us never considered education as an option despite the favourable hours and...

See that photo below? That’s me, Sarah Lawson (now Sarah Birch), listed as “friendliest” in the yearbook superlatives. Friendliness is easy for an extrovert like me. My best friend likes to recount the tale about the time I had such a great conversation with the...

There’s been a lot of talk about people’s “guiding word” of 2020. I’ve never really been a “guiding word” kind of person. Why should each year get a word? Can I choose the same word as I did last year? Just kidding, I didn’t choose one last year, nor any year before...

Lawyer turned Explorer. That’s how I’m known these days. Once upon a time, I studied law, then I had a less traditional but still legal-related career (particularly related to contracts). Two years ago, I became active in social media and about a year ago, I started...

Remember that time when I became a dermatologist and makeup artist? You don’t? Oh wait, that’s because I’m neither of those things. You may argue that I have no business writing about my favourite “clean” skincare & makeup products,...

“The John” is such an unfortunate nickname for my hometown of Saint John, NB. Leave it to us “Johners” to come up with a name that’s not at all representative of the flourishing and beautiful city that it is! As a Saint John native, I had a wonderful childhood...

Note: StageCoach has offered Amelia a scholarship for social media coverage, but as always, the opinions are my own. “Would you like something to drink?” our server asked Amelia at a restaurant this summer. She turned to me and said “Chocolate milk” in a...

I didn’t live in Halifax during Hurricane Juan. I lived in the Maritimes and heard all about it, but I didn’t witness it first-hand. When Hurricane Dorian was announced, it barely hit my radar – at first. By good fortune, my next-door neighbour is aware of my...
