** PLEASE NOTE – DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH RAFFLECOPTER {RELATED TO A POWER OUTAGE}, AND IN AN EFFORT TO ENSURE AN EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITY TO ALL GIVEAWAY ENTRANTS, THE CLOSING DATE HAS BEEN EXTENDED BY 24 HOURS **
Welcome to The Great Canadian Blog Bash and a big thank you to our hosts, the lovely Whispered Inspirations, Mom vs the Boys, Kat’s Confessions, Good Girl Gone Green and Pampered Patty. Without their hard work and support we wouldn’t have this great coast to coast opportunity!
I’m very excited to meet some new Canadian bloggers and revisit some of my present Canadian blogging friends.
I thought I would give you a few “snapshots” of life on the east coast of Canada, more specifically of my home province, New Brunswick.
When you’re finished checking out the photos be sure to enter the giveaway and give some love to my amazing Canadian sponsor – Reunion Island!
Reunion Island has very generously offered to give one very lucky Canadian a BUNN® My Café® Single Cup Coffee Maker starter kit. The kit comes complete with 1 brewer, 2 cartons of pods and a ceramic travel mug!! How awesome is that!!
The new BUNN® My Café® Single Cup Coffee Maker offers the latest home coffee brewing technology from the world’s leading engineers of commercial coffee equipment. This compact machine is designed for simplicity, versatility and reliability, but most importantly, a cup quality that would make any barista proud! 
I love how you can quickly get a coffee fix because the stainless steel tank keeps the water at the ideal brewing temperature, for a perfect cup in less than a minute.
I’m all about being green and love that the pods use less packaging than other single serve formats, and are compostable and biodegradable. In addition to the brewer and pods, the winner of this package is getting a re-useable mug, you can’t get much greener than that!!
So, sit down, grab a cup of delicious Reunion Island Coffee and enjoy the beautiful Canadian east coast…
The Bay of Fundy experiences the highest tides on the planet where the height can reach an incredible 16 meters (53ft). Have a look at this short clip of The Hopewell Rocks – OFFICIAL Time Lapse video of a 45.6 foot tide. (Run time – 0.55sec)

Because the Bay of Fundy coast consists of such rugged landscape, with cliffs and large headlands sticking out into the Bay, the flow of the 100 billion tonnes of water is anything but smooth.
Another spectacular way to see the tides is to visit a location where tidal rapids, whirlpools or rips can be seen.
The most famous whirlpool is the Old Sow Whirlpool, located in the Passamaquoddy Bay towards the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. Measuring up to as 76 meters (250 feet) in diameter, Old Sow is the largest whirlpool in the western hemisphere, and the second largest in the world!

Awhhh, your poor daughter….:( I can certainly understand though, it’s difficult for kids to comprehend the whole “low tide/high tide” concept…heck, it’s difficult for adults too…I think many people don’t understand the gradual increase in water level and are expecting more of a tsunami like event.
