We have a loft just on top of our garage that we had turned into for the kids – to hang out and to play their drums.  For the longest time – we didn’t do much except throw a bit of cushion and a futon around – but the kids wanted to turn them into [...]

The spouse and I looked into investing in some properties that were newly built in the city and we went for a viewing last week.  The open house was during the weekend and it was a nice little place – a little ways from the middle of the city and the price seems reasonable enough [...]

Preparing for our yearly BBQ last week – i ended up decorating my backyard a wee bit to welcome all the guest that i invited.  Friends and family in the neighborhood were all invited for our yearly BBQ. Weather was so awesome last week – we were really glad it all turned out good.
