The Poms are already working on their New Year’s resolutions! They’re working on eating a more balanced diet, with added fruits and veggies! Apparently they’re big fans of raspberries on top of their food I don’t know about all of you, but I’ve been cooking/baking up a storm all of quarantine... it’s one of my favourite things to do! I can’t promise no cooking, but let’s remember to eat those whole foods for a healthy start to 2021!

I’ve dipped my toes into mask-making as my latest handi-craft and I must say... these handmade ones are sooo much comfier than any store bought mask I’ve tried! Washable, breathable, and 100% cotton - which is so much better for your skin unlike many pre-made options. Someone better stop me soon though... I’ve already made matching scrunchies!

Has anyone been taking a prolonged hiatus from colouring their hair since the start of Covid? I stumbled across this selfie the other day and I realized that it’s been almost a year since I last dyed my hair... I have to admit, I’m kinda loving it!!! Turns out, these small personal cost saving lifestyle changes haven’t been so bad after all. Not only do you save your gel nail budget money, but most importantly, you learn to love your natural, flannel shirt self!

Looking to buy or sell your home? Searching for the perfect real estate agent to represent your listing or to help you find your dream home can be a daunting task. Here are 5 things to help you with your realtor search... 1. Do your research, talk to your friends and colleagues. Use your network for referrals and trust those closest to you. 2. Don’t go with the first realtor you meet! Interview at least 2-3 people before choosing the one. 3. Ask for references... and check t...hem! 4. Go with your gut, you’ll be spending more time than you think with your realtor and your gut knows best! 5. And lastly... send me a message, I may know a perfect gal for the job! See more

Cut an onion, wrap it around the avocado pit and put it in the fridge - now your avo will last for days! Wondering if anyone knows this one!?

Being a snowbird doesn’t have the same ring to it anymore. Anyone in the same boat as us, not really knowing what to do in these unprecedented times!? The pain in maintaining two properties has been very tough for Ed and I. With border restrictions and uncertainty pertaining to Covid, we decided to shift our focus to finally fixing up our 2nd home as it was in dire need of some updates (as you can see!). We usually are too busy soaking up the sun or the amenities around us, that we never focused on the house itself! With the help of the Pom Brothers, we decided to start putting in the work!

CLIENT LOVE Cynthia is a knowledgeable and hard working advocate for her clients. I admire how she genuinely cares for the needs of the families she helps. Reviews like these always put everything into perspective. Thank you for the kind reviews and to all my clients for making my work so fulfilling - I appreciate you!

Happy Halloween! Did you hear about tonight’s rare blue moon? Unfortunately, it’s not actually blue... BUT did you know that blue moons appear on Halloween once every 19 years!? ‘What makes this blue moon so rare is that it will be seen in every time zone, the last time that happened was in 1944’! And as for the next blue moon... that isn’t expected until Halloween 2039!... (Ross Andersen CTV News) See more

Got to visit THE Jenni Sustrate-Mills of Country Love Blooms the other day and WOW was it a wonderful visit! Not only did I get to check out her beautiful assortment of flowers, but I got some love from her fur babies too!

We’ve got some beauties available right now! Which one suits you best?

One of my many plants - what’s the secret to growing the perfect orchid...cold direct sunlight! The trick to longevity throughout this upcoming winter is to move your plant to a cooler location in the winter, preferably a south-facing window. Just look how well it turned out for this ever-lasting beauty!

Did you catch Lynn from Lynn Vaneck Contracting on CBC Edmonton? She gave some tips and tricks for DIY flooring! Different types of flooring: There are lots an...d of course, some are more appropriate for specific spaces ie: no one should have carpet in the kitchen!-Laminate -Hardwood -Vinyl Plank (glue or click) -Linoleum -Marmoleum -Carpet -Carpet tile -Cork -Bamboo -Rubber -Tiles What else should you consider when choosing flooring? -The 4 things to mainly consider are; the look, the use, the install, and the budget. -Consider the space you want flooring in, is there moisture present? -Are there a lot of windows in the room? This will make more movement as the sun comes in during different seasons and times of the day. -Do you want a tile, plank, or a solid look? (vinyl can be any shape and size now) -What direction will you be laying the flooring? -Do you want a floating floor (similar to laminate or vinyl) or glue down? -What type of subfloor do you have under the current flooring? -Do you require an underlay? Supplies Needed: It depends on what type of flooring you're installing, check to see the list of general supplies! Dealing with substrate or subfloor properly: -Depending on the substrate you have, you will need different types of prep involved. -The subfloor can be concrete, wood, metal, and ceramic. -For instance, the wood substrate will require better plywood to be installed that is designed to have certain types of flooring installed on it. -With concrete, you may need a leveling compound to ensure the floor is smooth and ready for flooring -All substrate should be tested for moisture Removing flooring: -Make sure to first remove all the baseboards throughout the area you wish to install new flooring. -If it's laminate or click-in vinyl you can start at one edge of the material, lift it up and it will bend up and unclick. Let's talk about carpets: -If you are removing carpet you will want to cut it and the pad underneath into manageable pieces. I usually go with an arms width so it's easy to roll up and carry out of the house without damaging walls. -Finally, you will need to ensure there are no staples or glue left on the floor. Working with sheet goods that are glued down: - Removing sheet goods can be a bit more work depending on the material and the glue used. -You may be able to install over it if it's in good shape. -You are allowed to install two layers of flooring, but by the third, it is best to remove all layers and start from scratch. -You may need to rent a mechanical scraper like an eddy or samurai. -If you can remove it by hand, cut it into small strips as it will be easier to remove. -Then you will have to scrape off all the old backing or glue. -It's best to use a patching compound over old glue to ensure a proper bond with the new adhesive if any will be used. Trends in Vinyl Flooring: -Trend #1: Mixed Width Tiles -Trend #2: Wide Planks -Trend #3: Wood Look -Trend #4: Light Colours Installing Vinyl Plank Flooring: -After you prepare the floor surface so it's flat, even, and clean. Undercut all door jams where possible it will allow the flooring to slide under the jam for a nice tight fit and a better finish product. -Find the more prominent wall in the room (the longest wall) preferably an exterior wall. If that wall is straight and true you may go off it with a plank or laminate. -If you have a tile shaped flooring to install you will need to square the room. You do that with 3 points to make an L. ( Remember Pythagorean Theorem.) -If the material you are installing is glued down you will spread the adhesive at this time. -If the material is not glued down you may begin installing planks tight together in a random pattern. It is best to keep the joints as staggered as possible it will help with the strength of the floor. -Follow all manufacturing recommendations for spacing on the walls to ensure proper movement for planks. -Re-install the baseboards

These two have been working hard for 3 years in hopes of finding their dream home! Well congratulations on ending your search with this beautiful bungalow!!!

I’d go anywhere with this. Anyone have an airstream? If you don’t love to fly I’m telling you, this is for you! It holds the bikes, the kayaks, the skis, and even the poms!

So, I’ve recently been tackling repainting my entire house and I’ve come to really appreciate a nicely decorated space! How cool is this decor at The Moth Cafe!? Any space that incorporates such beautiful natural elements is right up my alley!

All the rain, followed but a couple of hot sunny days has made my garden super happy! Baskets of Raspberries every day - yay! What are your favourite flowers / plants in your garden this year?...

I’d love to hear about your ideas and style! @ Edmonton, Alberta

Summer inventory is low! Be quick to get your pick! (Hey, I think I have great poetry skills! ) Have a great weekend!

I have always loved design and art. When I was a child, I built tiny homes out of popsicle sticks, planning out the rooms, the colours, the fabrics (which were usually tiny scraps from my mom's sewing kit). Now, I have the pleasure of working in a field where I get to see a lot of different homes, styles and designs and I absolutely love it! My favourite part is experiencing the self-expression and art of it all, just like visiting an art gallery! How about you? What is your favourite design trend? What colour palettes do you love? Do you have a secret love for something crazy (like retro moss-green shag rugs!)? Share and talk about it! #realestatefun #beautyallaround LOCAL Real Estate_ab

Without fail, lighting - or the lack of it - is one of the things that grabs a person’s attention, whether for good or bad. It’s such an easy thing to address and can completely transform your home, but it’s not always easy to get just right. Do you have a lighting transformation pic that is worth bragging about? I’d love to see it! Share in the comments and tell us the story!!
