I know some of you you in the States are probably not familiar with the term "Boxing Day."  
It's something here in Canada the day after Christmas which is also considered a holday when typically huge sales are going on with prices slashed everywhere.  
It is absolute Mayhem. when people actually get into fights over parking spots... and fighting over merchandise in stores.
For me, its not worth venturing out into the madness... retailers are suffering so much already, that things are on sale everywhere, and prices are being slashed on the internet.. so why bother going out to fight the crowds??

Working hand in hand with your realtor can generate the results you want much faster!  As the home owner you have the responsibility to ensure the home is clean and well kept, and ready for perspective buyers at a moment’s notice.  De-clutter if necessary, and consult with your realtor to see if Staging would be beneficial.  It is well documented that staging produces higher sales amounts, and in less time.  It’s difficult for any realtor to extol the features of your home if it is cluttered, dirty and unkept.  Remember, not all Buyers are visionaries and cannot see past the clutter and iridescent paint colours.  The Realtor has … (1 comments)

Back in the mid 1950's there was a TV show called "Beat The Clock" with Bud Collyer as the host and his Assistant Roxanne.

Pasta is one of my favourite foods, and being Italian, I’m very fussy about my Pasta, and there is no comparison between home made and store bought…. The good news?  It’s not that difficult OR time consuming as everyone thinks.
It has a soft, velvety texture that you just don’t get in store bought pasta, and the other big plus? It only takes 2-3 minutes to cook… much less time than the store bought. 
The other plus?  You know exactly what you and your family are eating because everything is made from scratch with fresh eggs, and flour..
To compliment the soft, velvety pasta … (0 comments)

One of my favourite humourists was  Erma Bombeck...  
Erma Louise Bombeck was an American humorist who achieved great popularity for her newspaper column that described suburban home life from the mid-1960s until the late 1990s. Bombeck also published 15 books, most of which became bestsellers. When her poem "When God Created Mothers" first appeared in her column in 1974, it was an instant success, clipped from newspapers, tucked into purses, and tacked onto refrigerators all over America.
