Well... it was when the winter blues began to settle in which led to some deep conversations and brilliant suggestions. With many friends coming together for what seemed to be a quick catch up, it just so happened that one hour turned into two and then three and then four... It wasn't long until the drinks became dry, another round was called for and the ideas started flowing and planning took place. Ahah... Behold our first Wellness retreat at Toba's Bed & Breakfast. With in

Ok so it is a few days past February 14th, the infamous LOVE DAY we have all come to know as Valentine's day, and I find myself pondering if in fact it is too late for us to be writing about a day that has already come and gone .. but has it really? Perhaps on a calendar yes but not in the hearts of us two crazy love beings! I pose this question to all of you "love-hearted" ones reading our blog and truly wonder if there are at least a few of you out there that share the very

Lunenburg comes to mind when I think of kindness because it is filled with warm-hearted people and breathtaking scenery. This is where I have discovered that “Random acts of kindness” become part of a daily routine. For people who are reading this from far away, it is hard to understand the culture of Lunenburg without experiencing it. This quaint and friendly town is filled with historic charm and becomes the perfect travel destination if you are looking to engage with a com

Who would have thought about all of the decisions it takes to open a successful bed and breakfast? Here we have it, two family members working as a team to figure out the ropes before our grand opening in May. It seems that the roads are endless when it comes to making concrete decisions because our goal is for our guests to fall in love with their eastern experience. From our beautiful heritage home to the water front views to the spectacular art to the meaningful conversati

Through the lovely month of December, when walking within the beautiful town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia you can expect to be surrounded by holiday joy. Now you may not have ever considered traveling to the East Coast around the Christmas Holidays, however, tis truly the season to embark upon a winter wonderland along the South Shore of Nova Scotia. In Lunenburg -the Christmas Tree Capital of the World - you are surrounded and embraced with nothing less than a winter wonderland

So it's true, we had really signed up to do this, with our own free will I might add! It's the night before we pack up the car to hit the road and you know what we are talking about ... can the two of us (Cathy & Kelly) be able to drive half way across the country without anyone else but ourselves and manage to enjoy the experience, for realsies and not just a temporary attempt to put up with each others' nuisances and idiosyncrasies? Not only is this a concern, considering

"Third times a charm" as the saying goes, so here it is… Welcome to blogpost number three. We feel it's time to explain where the name "Toba's" originates from. Starting off with a little background, I was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba and I sought out for adventure at 17 years old. From this point forward I knew I wanted to explore our beautiful country and so I figured the best way to do this was through the process of getting an education where I could also continu

Hello everyone and welcome! Let me first begin by introducing ourselves to you - I'm Cathy (the mamma) standing alongside, very proudly I might add, our daughter Kelly. Not shown here in this picture is Tony (the husband and very proud dad as well) who has chosen to let the girls of the house do their thing. SO, for the most part, it will just be the two of us gals making up the BnB team that will genuinely greet all of you, our guests, at Toba's Bed and Breakfast. We come t
