Among the Eagles and Pines

Balancing the practical with the fun chaos of life.

Among the Eagles and Pines is a lifestyle blog lovingly crafted and designed to bring you ideas, inspiration and insight. 

In weekly posts we (Elvin and I) will share: our love of crafting through creative ideas for your home and garden; our attempts at creating new dishes and treats; various tips, tricks and how-to articles; and keep you abreast of our back road adventures, sharing with you places and events worth visiting.  Come along on our journey, it’s shaping up to be a wonderful adventure!

Hi, this is Elvin, my backyard eagle, he loves to fly up and startle me when I am gardening. I have jumped, screamed and fallen over backward a few times, I’m sure I see him laughing each time I do!

I’m Susan, a mom, wife, teacher, DIYer, and Jack-of-all-trades who spends her time trying to balance home-life: meals, cleaning and organization and work with the wonderful chaos of crafting, photography, kids, and backroad adventures; exploring all the amazing nooks and crannies of my hometown and province of Nova Scotia, Canada (and a few places further afield).
