The Gift That Keeps on Giving… and Giving

Valentine’s Day has long been one of my favourite holidays. Originally as a child because it was about buying paper valentines for my classmates and getting chocolate from my mom. And then as an adult, for more “adult” reasons of course, seriously if you’re not understanding what I could possibly mean, you might want to use this useful source or another adult site you can find online. It may be cheesy to some, but I love the idea of sharing love in special ways. From fancy boxes of chocolate, long stem red roses (a rekindled favourite), to bubbly with the one you love, there is something incredibly romantic about the 14th of February.

Surprise! We’re moving into our new home for the holidays!

Over the last few months, you’ve been following our story as Julio and I spent months navigating the Toronto housing market in collaboration with Engel & Vo?lkers. Our mission: to find a family-friendly unit that would be the perfect starter home for Canela, Julio and I as we expand our growing family (yes, you read that right!). We learned quickly that family-friendly units in Toronto are in short supply. Our real estate advisor, Shawn Blander, of Engel & Völkers Toronto Uptown proved to be an asset in a market that is really competitive right now, but we’ll get to that later. After months of searching, we’re SO excited to announce that we finally found the perfect home! Just in time to be the best Christmas present from ourselves to ourselves. I can’t wait until we can have a housewarming party so we can show our friends and family our new home. A couple of our friends have moved into a new house too and I’ve heard about a gift Source website where I can buy a fabulous gift for them and their new place. Continue reading “Surprise!

You put in an offer; it looks like you’re about to buy your next house. You get so excited. THIS IS HAPPENING.

The simple things in life

Friday before a long weekend, and all I can think about it what I’m NOT going to do as September starts. I am not going to stress out. I am not going to run around when I don’t have to. And I’m not going to fuss over food. Why? Because I’ll be stopping by Uncle Smoke Cookhouse for some delicious BBQ and accouterments. Toronto foodies, you need to try for yourself and I’m taking a minute to tell you why!  Continue reading “The simple things in life”
