Our favourite way to end the Summer.

Spending a sunny afternoon with our awesome clients and community partners Cox Creek Cellars.

Great food, fantastic drinks and tons of fun.

We can't wait to do it again!

"Their system works!" is the next line of this review and that's what really gets us in the feels.

We are major fans of having step by step checklists, guides, trackers and updates as part of our process.

Like any type A person who always feels there is room for improvement, we also spend a lot of time trying to make these better each year. (Our annual review is just around the corner in fact!)

To hear that these aids are helping make the process of buying a home smoother and the outcome "perfect" is absolute bliss.

When you’re ready to look, we'll be ready to guide you with (continually improving) support for every step of the way.

Chat soon.

Finally made it to GROUND FLOOR ARTS to check out the prints in their shop.

We were so excited to find this linocut print titled "Mars Food" by Toronto artist Phoebe Todd-Parrish (Phoebe Todd-Parrish) - a diner in our old Yonge/Eglington neighbourhood. ❤️

If you've ever had thier banana bread french toast or smoked meat hash, you know how unforgettable it is.

Can't wait to hang it up.

We wonder what's waiting there for you to find!

June/July sped by way too darn fast.

We've enjoyed such an awesome start to a summer that has seen...

Our first annual west end yard sale (the mini makers were a huge highlight (including our own melty bead and slime sellers!)

Our best garden for tomatoes to date!

Gorgeous sunsets

Home projects

Some really jaw-dropping estates

Delectable treats on special days and local lunches when we get the time

Endless stacks of library books (reminder to watch your due dates!)

Baseball, so much baseball

Our first try at a weekly family book club, going strong so far for a bunch of muggles

Cottage days with the perfect weather (we got lucky!)

Camp adventures that let our kiddos interests shine.

Can't wait to see what the rest of this sunny season brings!

Need some fresh park suggestions?

We're almost half way through summer and if your go-to parks are getting a bit tired, here are a few parks around Guelph (+ one absolutely worth the drive) that we have loved visiting over the years.

Maybe they can bring some new adventures for you and your kiddos too!

Now help out other Guelph parents by adding your most LOVED parks (big or small) in the comments!

A permit isn't a hurdle. It's oversight. 🛠️

It means a qualified third party (not just you, not just your contractor) has confirmed the work meets the Ontario Building Code.

That matters in two ways:

Safety, right now — for you and your family

Resale, down the road — buyers want confidence not questions before they write an offer

And whenever you do decide to sell, keeping your permit paperwork organized turns into a real selling point — it tells buyers exactly what they're getting.

Have questions about what's on file for your home, or planning a renovation before you list?

Send us a message — happy to help you think it through.

Here's a homework assignment for every home buyer:

Before you fall for a listing, check its permit history.

The City of Guelph's permit search tool is free, public, and doesn't require an account, just the property address.

Here's what to look for:
• Open or unclosed permits (a sign work was never confirmed to meet code)
• Permits for anything visibly updated — additions, finished basements, decks
• A specific permit for any "legal" accessory apartment or basement suite

If something doesn't add up, that's not necessarily a dealbreaker, it just means it's time to ask questions.

Being an informed buyer isn't about being suspicious. It's about knowing exactly what you're buying.

Garden centre season is here, which means it’s very easy to fall in love with something pretty in a pot and figure out the details later.

But before you bring it home, ask:

Will this plant actually like living in my yard?

A few things to check:

🍃 Hardiness zone
This matters most for perennials, shrubs, and trees — the plants you expect to come back year after year. For the Guelph area, Zone 5 or colder is usually a safer bet.

☀️ Sun exposure
This matters for everything: perennials, annuals, veggies, planters, hanging baskets… all of it.

🐌 Soil and moisture
Hot and dry? Damp and heavy? Shady and clay? Match the plant to the actual spot.

🌲 Mature size
That cute little shrub may want to be six feet wide. Read the tag, then believe it.

🌻 Native or non-invasive
Fast-growing can be great. It can also mean “taking over.”

Pretty is lovely.

But the real win is choosing plants that actually suit your yard.
