Oh So Smug Condo Owners

Are some people looking awfully smug and carefree to you on this very snowy day?  Don't be puzzled, you see the thing is those smug, carefree looking people are living the condo lifestyle.  So, basically when house residents woke up today they looked out the window at all the snow and immediately thought of how they were going to be late to work because of all the shovelling they would have to...

This is a game changer!

We are stoked about this one!  It is a game changer!  It also makes us wonder what took so long? Well whatever, we are just glad it has arrived.  Ok, maybe it has been around for a little while but we just got wind of it.  We are talking about the washer/dryer combo of course! We are giddy thinking about what we will do now with all the extra space and free time! Seriously, no more...

Twas The Night Before Christmas – Condominium Style

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the condo  Not a resident was stirring, not even John Doe. They had hung their stockings with great detail, In hopes that Santa would remember and not fail. Don't worry, he will be there with what you asked for and more, His helper, the concierge will let him in through the front door. So come in from your balcony and turn off the light, The...

Achoo it’s cold season

  Sneezing, coughing, stuffy nose...no I'm not describing symptoms on a Benadryl commercial.  I am describing my symptoms.  I'm afraid I've caught a cold.  And yes Dad, for Pete's sake, I do dress up warm when I step out.  Sometimes a cold just can' t be avoided, especially when it's plus 14 one day and minus 5 the next.  This rapidly changing weather brings about colds...

Condolites make room for a Christmas Tree

It's not yet December but it snowed yesterday so one can't blame us for already having Christmas on our minds.  Good ol' St Nick will be arriving soon, and not to worry condo residents, we have official word from him that he doesn't need a chimney to get into your unit and leave you your well deserved gifts.  He does however fancy that you have a Christmas tree set up.  We tried to reason...

I heart my condo neighbours

Nirel Photography   Community feel is a reason many people enjoy condo living.  One likely receives a pleasant "good morning" or "cold weather out there" comment from one of their neighbours or concierge on most days. Perhaps even a funny anecdote shared by a neighbour that makes you chuckle.  The truth is unless you are on Discovery's Life Below Zero show and crave...

It’s Official!

It's finally here, it's official!  We relished through Fall, we waited through Winter, we sat on the edge of our seats through Spring and now it has arrived!  Without further ado (drum roll please) mother nature presents Summer (crowd goes wild but not as wild as game 7 NBA finals)!  June 21st marks the official start to Summer and just like that everyone wants to jump in a pool or...

Do you know your neighbours?

Now I definitely don't leave my door unlocked at night or know anyone else who does as Michael Moore claimed we Canadians do in his movie Bowling for Columbine.   I also don't recommend we start doing that but perhaps in our busy work all day lives maybe there is something to getting to know and becoming friendly with your neighbours.  Those living in condos you might often run into your...

Snowed in? Not if your a condo owner.

Well the weather outside is frightful, actually, for many Canadians this snowy weather is quite delightful!  Grab those tobaggans, skis, snowboards, skates or snowshoes and get out there!  The snow can be a lot of fun and very beautiful the way it gracefully falls from the sky, and the way it sparkels on the ground.  However, the snow can come with some drawbacks for house owners. ...
