Staging & Selling Montreal West Island Homes

What's the next best thing since jeggings, you ask?  Well, it could just be a calendar that answers the world's most asked question: What's for supper? An artist friend of mine, Jennifer Boudewyn, and her friend Jodi Steinberg, a chef, have come up with an ingenious product: Jen and Jodi's Friend...

You've found the perfect home for you and your family. You and the seller have come to an agreement on price.  And as a responsible home buyer, you get the property inspected.  While in the garage, and then in the basement, the inspector says, "Hmmmm, those cracks in the floor may be due to pyrit...

There's been a lot of buzz about QR codes lately. I was on the fence about them until last night, when my husband complained to me: "I wish Blackberry had a feature where you could just edit the web address that comes up automatically from your contact list, rather than having to retype it."  Tha...

A picture on the front page of The Montreal Gazette today haunts me.  It's an old picture, from 1940. It shows a man and a woman, all dressed up, he in his military uniform, off to receive a medal from the king.  They're both smiling;he's being honoured for his heroic efforts in the war, and she ...

Today's Thankful Thursday post is easy to pen.  In the middle of the night last night, my husband came home after an 11-day trip to China and Vietnam.  Every day, our loved ones leave us and go out and about in the world.  And every day, someone's loved one doesn't come back.  I am so thankful mi...

But the waiter keeps encouraging him because, after all, it is wafer...

She remembers the name of my first boyfriend...and the fact that she kissed him first. She remembers all of my misdeeds...with what appears to be a photographic memory. She hears past "I'm fine"...and waits for me to spill the beans. She makes fun of me...and helps me make fun of me too. She pull...

Want to learn a quick trick to save time on social media?  Anyone who has been following me for a while knows that I have a love/hate relationship with social media.  I love the opportunity social media provides to stay in touch with friends, family and contacts and to get my work out there to ho...

Have you ever had reason to be at the West Island Palliative Care Centre?  If not, consider yourself lucky.  So many have, and yet what I hear from anyone who has lost a loved one who got to spend there final days there is, "That place, and the people who work there, are amazing." This Saturday, ...

I'm feeling philosophical this Monday morning.  Roger Waters is coming to play the entire album The Wall here in Montreal at the Bell Centre.  Hubby is going, but I'm not.  Though I'm a huge Roger Waters fan, it's his solo stuff I prefer and so I just couldn't justify the price tag: a cool $250. ...
