It’s the end of February and you’re off and running with 2020! The plans/goals you set out at the beginning of the year are humming along - possibly with a few ups and downs along the way. It is life, after all. That being said, it's now at the point of fine-tuning...

Love is in the air. Looking to show someone you care about how special they are to you? Or maybe a little treat for yourself? How about a little something in your own Nova Scotian backyard that feels a little out-of-this-world? Let me explain... It was a bright, sunny...

If you’ve been following my entries here on our 'Be Well' blog over the past year, you will have noticed that I have been trying to pay more attention to the needs of my body by prioritizing self-care. Slowly, but surely slowly; I have started to emerge from the fog...

Now that 2019 is behind us and 2020 is here, I have some thoughts on mindfulness. The word is thrown around all over the place - an overused buzzword littered across magazine covers, flippantly mentioned in interviews and conversations; arguably a ‘new craze’. There...

I’ve always been into the magical spirit of the holiday season. That being said, after running a busy bakery for 10 years during the peak season; I'm left feeling tired and deflated trying to meet all of the holiday expectations - both personally and from a business...

Here we are, halfway through fall already. It has been a whirlwind. Beyond that, we've been trying to adjust to what has proven to be at times a seriously crazy, rigid schedule. We're still getting used to 'big kid' school life and have been limiting ourselves to...

Back in September, Andrew sat down with Jen and Aidan to talk about how it feels to look back on 10 years of Schoolhouse. Here's part two of that interview, where the dynamic duo talk about raising their twin daughters Sadie and Asha; and how they manage to keep...

Hello folks! How is fall meal prep going for everyone out there? It's a busy time of year, that's for sure, so I was curious to hear more about what some of your biggest road blocks are. Is it finding time to plan and come up with new recipe ideas? Finding easy, quick...

Is September the new January? As a mother of two girls going off to big school for the first time – it sure feels that way.For the first time ever my family was going to have to be legitimately on time five days a week. That scared me (and still does). We have never...

10 years, friends. We can't believe we're saying this... Schoolhouse is 10 years old! The big day falls on a Saturday, this Saturday in fact, and the Schoolhouse team will be at the Seaport Market to serve you as always. This weekend will be quite special, as we'll...

On this week's 'Be Well' blog, we decided to switch things up by passing the mic to a few of our lovely retail partners—Selby's Bunker Coffee & Gifts in Cole Harbour and Honey & Ginger (Dartmouth and Bedford). We recently had the opportunity to interview them;...

You know when life gets so busy that we barely have time to breathe? When there's so much on the schedule that you have no choice but to say 'no'; to turn down any opportunities that come your way? While it's important to know our limits, to never feel bad for saying...

Andrew here, back with another ‘Be Well’ blog entry. This one is a bit more personal, and I'm hoping that opening up will allow the story to resonate with some of you; possibly helping you along on your personal journey. For as long as I can remember, I've struggled...

Hey folks! Andrew here with a new ‘Be Well’ blog entry, focusing on a topic I’ve been thinking a lot about lately; something I felt could make a great topic of discussion for this week’s post.Let me ask you something (no judgement, I promise): when you pack up and...

Gluten-free living lends itself to a lot of challenges. Nothing unmanageable, but it certainly requires extra planning and forethought. Sometimes, I have to admit—I can’t always get it together. The planning or lunch packing. There are moments when as much as I would...

To all the New Brunswickers out there... guess what?! We're heading your way in just a few short weeks! We will be attending the annual Celiac Fair on Saturday, June 1st @ Coverdale Centre in Riverview from 10am-3pm. Are you excited to come out to see us while we're...

When I was 33, I realized what makes the world go round. Not money or love. The other one. Caffeine! I had my first cup of coffee. Everything changed from that moment forward.And it’s not that I felt I had been missing something previously. I felt pretty righteous...

This is a tough story to tell, folks, but it’s one that I feel ready to share. When we see everything through the social media lens, it could appear as if most people around us don’t experience a ton of stress, grief or pain… because we rarely show the worst sides of...

To all the entrepreneurs/business owners out there—do you ever see others in the same position and ask "how on earth do they do it all?". It takes a lot of working sunrise to sunset, day in and day out, and it's entirely possible to do. Is it sustainable? Not in the...
