Solid Economic Growth forecast for AB in 2013

It's that time of the year again, SNOW is finally here.  We managed to change all our tires just in time for the snow fall.  We were fortunate enough to get in without an appointment....thanks to Kal Tires on 32 Street.

We had a fun and busy weekend!

I am not a mom that bakes, yet this weekend, we made cupcakes for Halloween and decorated them. 

Here's a picture of one of the finished products....

Thanks to our friends, we had tickets to the Honens International Piano Competition. It turned out to be a fun evening.

Our Halloween fun continued with pumpkin carving on Sunday and celebrated a good friend's birthday in the evening.

Winter is usually a slow time of the real estate market, if you are thinking of buying a home, this maybe a good time to get into the market.  Contact me today to get you pre-approved! Interest rate is still low, what are you waiting for?

Albertans Retaining Their Rosy Financial Outlook

Happy Monday!  And welcome to the month of October.

We had a fabulous weekend as we celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival on Sunday.

For those of you who don't know, here's the link that talks about the origin of the festival.

One of our traditions of the festival is to walk around our neighbourhood with our lit up lanterns. That is one of my fond memories of the festival when I was little.
Sunday night was the first time in many years that we did that again.
We lit up our paper lanterns and hung them on the tree in the backyard while we enjoyed our moon cakes and fruits.

The kids had so much fun, especially Emma, as she learnt about the festival at Chinese School.

The market continues to be strong and many buyers are out on the market.  What are you waiting for?
It's time to go shop for your new home!
