The Mansfields Summer Of Exploring

If you’ve been following me on Instagram this summer, you might have seen some exploring that we’ve been doing—both here at home and around the province. With a toddler (or should I say pre-schooler!) in the house, we wanted to spend as much time exploring and appreciating our city this summer as possible! The Explore Like A Tourist challenge certainly helped us get out the door and it’s been such an awesome summer sharing with all of you!

Even though we explore and discover things around our city on the regular, we also loved all the suggestions of places to visit outside the city limits. Being from Cape Breton and my husband from the South Shore, we always have opportunities to get into the more rural areas of our province to find the hidden gems.

Along with visiting family, we also made time to visit the Valley. We usually head there for pumpkin season, but it was nice to change things up and see it during the summer instead.
