The Cambridge Mill proposed a 12-storey hotel/condo building between their current restaurant location, and Paul de Hass’ The Grand.  Read the latest update here:

Have you done a boot camp before?  I won a trial for Charlotte McCord and Emerson Petri’s Proactive Training and Nutrition and had a blast!  We’re lucky enough to have The Buff Mom local as well; I have heard only amazing reviews of Leslie Gordon Christie’s women only boot camps!

Speaking of boot camp, here is what the dessert table looks like at a Hube family dinner!

This day last year, this was my view – dream home in Costa Rica!  Our family loves to find homes on www.vrbo.com to stay at on holiday; this home slept 10 of our family members comfortably (age 6 to 78), and was just a staircase away from a beautiful beach.  Much more intimate than an all-inclusive and more affordable when split 10 ways!

Some links from the web! Happy Friday!

What are you doing this weekend?  We are hosting an open house at 35 Canning Cres Saturday between 2-4, and I’m showing some houses I’m really excited to see this evening, and tomorrow.  I’m hoping my Sunday will involve a trip to Detour Café in Dundas for coffee and snacks.  Here are some links I liked this week — happy browsing!

Way to go Monigram for making the top 10 coffee shops in Southern Ontario.  I haven’t been to The Fire Roasted Coffee Co, Locomotive, or Miss Lily’s.  What about Tamp in Burlington though?  Any others missing that you love?

Have you checked out the Royal LePage videos?  Small world – my uncle is the actor that was used for this one!

We didn’t watch the Super Bowl, but we DID indulge in these game day worthy potatoes.

Love this inexpensive way to update door knobs, light fixtures etc., to prepare to sell — we’ve done it with old brass house numbers as well!

Is this where you thought the #1 place to visit in Canada, in 2015 would be?

Winter cottage getaway coming up?  Try to head to Arrowhead Provincial Park for tubing and skating through the forest on the 1.3 km of road they have flooded.  Magical!  Me and my husband a few weeks ago pictured, below.
