When choosing to make the move to the country, typically you have to trade in urban comforts you’ve come to rely on in favour of room to breathe.

There are a number of seasonal maintenance items that are best to do in the winter – or necessary due to possible snow and ice build-up – and the uninviting weather is the perfect time to hone in on the health of your home.

This holiday season will look different for everyone. Even though we won’t be gathering with friends, family and co-workers, there are still plenty of ways to make the best of the holidays this year. We have put together a list of fun activities and ways to celebrate the holidays, with the people in your ‘bubble’.

It doesn’t get much better than hitting the highway for a weekend away at the cabin. But even after you’ve got everyone’s swimsuits, SPF 60 and bug spray packed, there are a few things you should take care of at your primary home.

If you've been working from home at the dining room table face-to-face with your partner for the past 3 months, it might be time to start searching for a new home. As your lifestyle evolves, so should your home. While some home offices were considered unimportant just a few years ago, today most workplaces have shifted their employees to work from home indefinitely during the pandemic. So, what do you need in a new home setup? Is it time to move-up to your forever home that can accommodate your new work situation?

Home maintenance in the summer usually means pulling out your green thumb to tend to your lawn and garden. But it’s also a great time to check in on the health of your home, and how it fared over the winter. We’ve broken down some of the areas to monitor over the course of the summer. (It’s OK if you want to save most of these for a rainy day, or schedule them during cloud cover. Enjoying your green space rightfully takes first place.)
