I was talking to one of the agents in the office and he was commenting on how many people are letting people know they're going away via facebook. Although you may not think about it, this opens your home to being at risk for burglaries because the people who view your facebook know... [ more ]

This past weekend I had the chance to make it down to Euphoria on Dickson St. Both my friend Alana (who write for SNAP) and my parents had been there and raved about everything they had. So, since Keith was home and we had some things to do downtown, we decided to slip in there for a... [ more ]

Today I went for lunch with my Mom. She wanted to try the new pita place that's on Hespeler road right beside Calvary Pentecostal Church, so off we went. It's a family run business that is very clean, friendly and offers customers only the finest ingredients. They told us... [ more ]

This past weekend Keith and I went and saw "Get Him to the Greek". When we first saw the preview for it, Keith knew he wanted to see it. Since I'm always up for a comedy I agreed we should go see it before he left for Nova Scotia. It was quite funny, but it's... [ more ]

As I'm sure you've guessed by now, Keith and I like to patron local establishments as often as we can. Since Keith is leaving to go build a golf course out in Nova Scotia this summer, one of his requests before he goes is to go to L.A. Franks. When the weather is nice, we enjoy... [ more ]

This morning there was an article on msn.ca about the most stressful jobs in Canada. I decided to take a look, and in at #8 was real estate agent. Sometimes I don't think people realize how stressful this job can really be, so I thought it would be good to share with you so that you... [ more ]

Wow! Things have been very very busy around here, so I'm getting behind on blogging a bit. I had intended to blog last week about seeing the movie "Robin Hood" but still haven't had the chance to sit down and write something since I'm very slow at writing. Kaley, my sister... [ more ]

I signed onto my computer this afternoon and up pops an article about the real estate market. It suggests home sales slipped in April for resale homes while at the same time listings were increasing. Knowing that this certainly wasn't the case in our area, I thought I'd... [ more ]

Just wanted to wish all Mom's a very happy Mother's day. It's important to set a day aside and remember how thankful you are for your Mom and what she means to you. If you don't have your Mom, or your Grandmother, it's a great day to look back and remember how lucky you were to... [ more ]

Although all weekend it called for rain, and at time it did rain, we managed to get the gardens done. I moved into my current house last August. It required a lot of work both inside and outside. We tackled the inside first to freshen things up and give it that personal touch. ... [ more ]

To many people, the Black Badger is a place where you go afterwork or late at night for a few drinks with friends. At dinner time, it's a different story. Tonight, I went there for dinner with my friend Alana and Frank Centofanti, the owner of SNAP Cambridge (if you haven't picked up... [ more ]

I have to say, I am particularly sad that University Plaza had a fire today with one of the casualties being Mel's Diner. Having gone to Laurier, I patroned that place for 4 years. My roomate's boyfriend (now husband) made many Sunday morning breakfast runs for us. For... [ more ]

This past weekend I learned that a Rolling Stones tribute band was coming to The Groove Kitchen in Preston. I knew Keith, who is a big Stones fan, would be all over it, so we went. We didn't have a reservation, so we went quite early for dinner but I must say the waitress was very... [ more ]

I was reading an article about tax deductions that not everybody may know about and it mentioned moving expense, which I was aware of but thought some people might not know about. If you move more than 40 kilometres away from where you currently live in order to work, then most, if not all,... [ more ]
