Over the past few summers, my boys and I have spent many hours on the road, visiting and exploring our beautiful New Brunswick coastline. As I thought about a theme for a New Brunswick Christmas Tree, my very first thought was to create a tree that represents all those fun day trips and adventures we have spent as a family.

7 Frugal and Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gifts
Mother’s day is right around the corner and it is time to plan.
