A Blurrr Monday!

Happy Monday or should I say ‘Happy Blurrrr Monday’!!

I am feeling blue that the ‘fall’ feel is in the air, I guess that’s what happened with school starting this week. I think I even saw some leaves changing color on some trees.

First day of school for us is Wednesday, it’s time to train little Emma to wake up bright and early! Like many other kids, she’s been used to sleeping-in in the morning, I hope she won’t take too long to adjust!

Last Tuesday, I had the opportunity to be a VIP guest for the Globalfest Fireworks and we enjoyed Portugal’s fireworks show. Luckily, it was a fairly warm evening. Congratulations to Spain as the winner of this year’s Firework competition.

It has been a quiet summer for real estate this year. But with the start of school, this usually means the real estate market will start picking up again. Try to beat the rush by finding your perfect home before someone else snaps it up this upcoming long weekend. There are a lot of rate specials right now, call me and enquire about it today.

Have a great week and weekend ahead.

How is your credit score calculated?

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Saturday started out as a cold and cloudy day, but it turned out to be a nice afternoon.
We spent the afternoon at Lake Bonavista, thanks to the invitation of a good friend.
Emma had fun building sand castle and playing in the water. If I ever give up inner city living, Lake Bonavista would be my first choice of a community to live in!

My little Anna is a one brave cookie! She had her 6th month vaccination on Friday and she didn’t cry at all! Although she has been a little grumpy all weekend long!

Have you ever wonder how your credit score is calculated?
Here’s a good article to read on.

Happy 6th month birthday to Anna!

Happy 6th month birthday to my dearest Anna! I can't believe half year flew by just like that. I am blessed to have a healthy baby and an active/talkative toddler in my life. Here's a latest picture of Anna.

Here's the latest outlook on the economy and thoughts on the Bank of Canada rate.

The Basics of Mortgages

It was a beautiful weekend, hope you had a chance to get out and enjoy it!

We headed to Chinatown on Saturday afternoon and joined the fun for the 10th Chinatown Street Festival as we celebrated 100th years of history in Canada. There was a big crowd on hand and we ran into lots of friends.

I took the 2 girls out for a stroll on Sunday and Emma said to me ‘Mommy, I like this house. I think we should build a new house so we have more space’ LOL! I am not sure what kind of space a 3 ½ year old needs! If your kids are telling you to get more space as well, maybe it’s time to consider buying in this quiet real estate market!

Calgary: one of the Top 10 Cities to buy in Canada

August is “birthday party” month for us, as we are booked every weekend with a birthday party. We attended an outdoor party on Saturday and had lots of fun. It seems like it’s the first time in a long time we got to hangout outside, with no rain or hail, and only a few mosquitoes trying to bite us.

I can’t believe half of summer has already gone by, and realize it’s time to get outdoors and plan some activities before winter comes marching around the corner.

Hope you have been getting outside and enjoying your summer too.

Came across this article that I find interesting. Calgary is still the best place in the country to buy a property, so what are you waiting for.
