PEI Wildflowers :: Lupines

We have always loved wildflowers and part of discovering our new island home is to find out about nature, including flora.

Last week, we went for a short walk on the Confederation Trail. This trail passes through Charlottetown and continues all through PEI. I'm hoping to either bike or walk more of it soon.

Celeste and I noticed some patches of lupine growing in a field right next to the trail. We saw a path and took it to get a closer look. We have seen lupines growing along the roads outside the city everywhere we have been so far. We have seen pink, purple and white lupines.

According to Get PEI website: "While the provincial flower is the Lady's Slipper, it is the lupine that is the flower most commonly associated with Prince Edward Island. The PEI government considers them to be invasive (i.e. a weed) and there are annual efforts to reduce their numbers on the island."

Wikipedia tells us that after the flowers, beans appear and they are "commonly sold in a …

Wanderlust Tremblant Yoga Festival ~ The Yoga + Meditation Classes

Wow! What an amazing experience the Wanderlust Yoga Festival in Tremblant, Quebec was. I have been back for over two weeks and I am still processing everything I have learned, felt, discovered, experienced!

I want to share with you some of my thoughts through blog posts. It will take a few posts! This first post is all about the yoga and meditation classes. I will write at least two more, one about the other type of workshops we attended and one on the mountain hiking!

The festival was four days with a long list of workshops and classes to choose from every day. My husband and I registered for all our classes ahead of time, spending a few days poring over all the descriptions for each class and choosing carefully the ones we thought we would both enjoy.

I wanted to experience as much variety as I could, trying different types of yoga and teaching styles whenever I could. At the same time, I wanted the classes to be enjoyable for Shawn, who is newer to yoga.

Come Find Me at My New Blog!

Hello Friends!

So much has happened since we stopped homeschooling that I felt it was time to move on to a new blogging platform. I went from being a full time stay at home- home educating mom of 3 to an almost full time working mom who attends school! Two of my children are now adults and Celeste is almost fourteen years old! Time goes by so quickly, doesn't it?!

I searched for a while for a free blog site that would be user friendly and could expand to more. So far, Wix has been a nice website builder that includes a blog section. I feel that this will give me space to grow.

I have been writing a few blog posts there about my thoughts and experiences with Yoga Teacher Training, which started for me early January.

All the archives of this blog are still accessible here and also on the new website! Life On Island will stay open as long as blogger stays open. All the previous Exploring Prince Edward Island posts are still accessible to read, these are my personal favourites! I pla…
