Blogging Trifecta

We’d be lying if we said we didn’t love a great review (who doesn’t?), and lately we’ve been blessed with some online love. Seems only fitting that we use our own online space to thank our reviewers! Here’s what we’ve been reading lately:

Tiptoeing Through
Couple at The Doctor's House

One of our recent guests, Julie, writes a compelling blog about her journey and life raising a child with special needs. She and her husband recently enjoyed a little getaway at The Doctor’s House, and they shared their thoughts, and their incredibly stunning photos, in this great piece. Trust us – if you’d like to see what we’re all about out here, read it. Thanks again to Julie for sharing.

West Jet Magazine

West Jet Magazine recently ran a piece called “Eight Stops Along Newfoundland’s Baccalieu Trail,” and guess who made the list? Why the Shag It Cafe and Gift Shop, naturally! Looks like they particularly enjoyed our hearty chowders, fresh bread and sandwiches, and of course, that famous view.

Vacay.ca

So The Doctor’s House and Shag It Cafe got some love – what about our good, old cottages? Thanks to Vacay.ca writer, Michelle Hopkins, Ocean Delight wasn’t left out either! She recently wrote about her tour of the Avalon Peninsula, which we’re happy to stay included a stop at our Blueberry. She loved the ‘charming, country-style cottage,’ and seems to have loved the Wonderful World of Whiteway as much as we do. Another great read if you’re looking for things to do in the area.

There you have it – some fun reads for your Friday morning. Thanks again to these dedicated writers for the kind words. And if any of our guests or readers have written about us on your blogs, please let us know, as we’d be more than happy to share!

 

All We Can Say Is – THANK YOU!

I asked Murphy if we could postpone his post for the day, and he was all too happy to oblige – because I have some special news to announce. And that is, thanks to all your votes (and all your patience with me soliciting them!), our humble little blog has won a 2012 Canadian Blog Award, in our category of Best Business or Professional Life Blog.

I’ve been blessed in my professional life to have won a few accolades, but few can compete with this honour. Writing everyday and sharing the Wonderful World of Whiteway has become a passion, and to have your votes and your support and to know that you enjoy what I do means the world. I’m also very grateful to The Berry for her input and help in getting these posts up – it’s my face you see on here everyday, but Ocean Delight is in every way truly a 2-person effort. And of course, my co-blogger, Murphy, wants to thank you, too. I need to double check – I think I may be the only Newfoundlander to win this year, but I know Murphy is the only dog to!

And stay tuned ….. to thank everyone for voting, we’re going to be rolling out a little contest (and a new website!) in the coming days.
