It's Easy Being Green

Yesterday everyone was decked out in green for Saint Patrick’s day, but we don’t have to only be green one day a year. Many people are turning to ‘green’ solutions to help our environment.


It’s amazing to me how much waste can come from owning a home. In my house, if we kept all the cardboard and plastic that we go through in a year, we could probably fill up one of our bedrooms and all the chemicals we use for washing dishes, clothes and the floors would certainly fill up a small pool.


But what can we do about it?

Wandering Blind

Grab a friend and get a blindfold. Now, go find yourself a large empty field. Blindfold your friend and have them walk in a straight line to the far side of the field. What you’ll find is that they will start to drift to one side or the other until they are literally walking in circles.

Don't Let it Go to the Dogs!

I have two dogs- two very well behaved large dogs.  One is an eleven year-old border collie and the second is a 15 month old Catahoula leopard & lab mix.  The city of Medicine Hat is a dog owner’s heaven. With the parks and the off-leash areas, any dog owner would be thrilled to live here. 

Don't let your 'Blinkers' distract your Buyers

When I was a kid, I used to call it ‘taking a left around the world.’ You’ve seen them – Those people who can’t seem to remember to switch off their turn signal.


As I’m headed to work this morning I found myself behind a car whose left turn signal was happily blinking and winking away at everyone around it.

The Ultimate Gift of Love

What does February mean to you? Are you thinking about spring? Are you hoping that a groundhog will tell us that winter is nearly over? Or do you think of love and romance and hopeful beginnings.

To Buy or Not to Buy - First?

Eventually we all end up in the same place. Whether your family is quickly outgrowing your home or you’re seeing the last of your children packing to move on into the realm of adulthood, many of us find that it’s time to find a new home that better fits our needs.



But now there is a dilemma. Should you secure the home of your dreams by writing an offer subject to your current home selling or are you better to wait and except an offer before you buy?
