 Thank you to everyone who came out to my Client Appreciation Party. It was a success!
We raised $315 for Villa Rosa Inc. and collected an ENTIRE carload of brand-new items for babies and moms. Seeing that table fill up was honestly incredible. Your generosity blew me away. This generosity extended past the party date, as I still had more to pick up later in the week! 

Recap: we brought the event back with all your favourite elements and some fun new additions. DJ JPQ brought amazing, kid-friendly energy and had everyone moving, from toddlers to adults. Whether you danced or simply soaked up the atmosphere, the room felt full of joy.  Our magician had everyone laughing and in "shock" with his skill! 

 Highlights from the day included:
• Face painting
• Snacks & treats
• Entertainment - old cartoons in the theatre
• Cozy spaces to catch up and relax
• And, of course, lots of connection and appreciation

Thank you again to The Gas Station Arts Centre for being our host venue, to my friends and family for helping me prepare, and to my wonderful sponsors: Cal Friesen of McRoberts Law Office and Peter, Colten & Derek from Mainstream Mortgages.

A special shoutout to my “world-travelling” son, who flew home just 36 hours beforehand to help me with the event. Many of you got to grill him with travel questions and he handled it like a champ despite being wildly jet-lagged.  *and thank you to Audra! My behind the scenes help. :)

Most of all, thank you for being part of my real estate community. Whether we chatted briefly, danced together, or you popped in for a hug, I’m so grateful you came.

Until next time.. and from the bottom of my heart - thank you. 

If you'd like to check out the reel from that day, please head over to my instagram for more photo fun!

Buddy the elf—big-hearted and not quite like the other elves—discovers he’s actually human and sets off to find his real father. Landing in New York, he learns his dad is anything but the “World’s Greatest.” Still, through misadventures and unstoppable cheer, Buddy sings his way into everyone’s hearts. But I’m sure you already know this story. ;)

• Assiniboine Park Zoo – Zoolights

The RWB’s uniquely Canadian Nutcracker captures hearts of all ages. Journey through mystical mayhem, nostalgia, and midnight magic as Clara’s nutcracker springs to life. From the clash with the Mouse King to the Sugar Plum Fairy’s realm, this prairie-infused classic remains a holiday must-see.

When the days start getting shorter and nights longer, it’s time to start prepping your home for winter. Here are a few items that can help you keep your home safe, warm, and ensure no damage occurs over our coldest months. Are there any other things you like to do to get your home ready?

1. Examine the roof 

Get out your ladder and inspect up there, or rather, hire a professional to check for any shingles that have blown off or are curling.  If you are a few years shy from repair, have you started to budget for a new one?

2. Clean out the gutters

Cleaning out the eaves is one of the simplest and most inexpensive ways to stop moisture from getting into your home; it helps keep it away from the foundation by guiding it away. Ensure there are no leaks and water flows where it is supposed to.  Or, get gutter guards installed. 

3. Shut off drain and outdoor faucets 

Turn off all exterior faucets and drain water from outdoor pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads to prevent pipes from bursting. You may wish to consider frost-proof faucets. 

4. Seal windows and doors

Sealing the gaps in your windows and doors is essential to reducing energy costs this winter. Any gap more than a nickel should have caulking applied. Weather stripping may also be required.  

5. Replace furnace filter

Replace the filter monthly to ensure efficiency and keep dust particles from penetrating the clean, heated air.  Test for carbon monoxide and it is recommended to invest in a detector to monitor your home.  Carbon monoxide is undetected by smell, and can be deadly.  A monitor is worth the cost. 

6. Check your insulation

If you want to stay cozy in winter, proper insulation is an essential step.  The higher the R-value, the greater the rating the performance of your insulation.  Check with MB Hydro for any insulation rebates. 

7. Check your smoke alarm battery

Last, enjoy the winter! May it be filled with warm, safe nights in your home.  

Aging in Place: How Seniors Can Stay Safe, Supported & Independent at Home

One of the biggest conversations I hear in real estate today - especially from seniors and their families—is about aging in place. Many people want to stay in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible. The good news is that with a little planning, this is very doable, and often far more affordable than moving into assisted living. 

Here are some practical ways to make it safe and realistic:

Start with a Home Assessment

The first step is looking at the home through fresh eyes. Are there trip hazards? Is the bathroom safe? Would mobility be a challenge down the road? In Winnipeg, Enabling Access offers professional in-home assessments, led by occupational therapists, to identify risks and recommend changes. They can also help families access government programs that provide funding for modifications.

Make Key Modifications

Once you know what’s needed, even small changes can make a big difference:

• Installing grab bars and zero-threshold showers in the bathroom

• Improving lighting and removing clutter to reduce falls

• Adding ramps or widening doorways for walkers and wheelchairs

• Using smart-home tools like motion lights or fall sensors

These adjustments can keep a home both comfortable and safe for many more years.

Add Personalized Home Care

Sometimes, safety is about more than just the house itself. Having the right support in place allows seniors to stay independent without being overwhelmed. I personally recommend HSE Homecare here in Winnipeg - they provide everything from meal prep and housekeeping to companionship and palliative support. My own family has worked with them, and their care makes a huge difference.

Putting It All Together

Aging in place works best when families combine:

1. A professional assessment

2. Smart home modifications

3. Reliable home care support

This approach allows seniors to remain independent while also giving families peace of mind.

Final Thought

Aging in place isn’t just about staying in a house—it’s about staying home safely and living life fully. With the right resources, seniors can enjoy the comfort of their own space while still having the support they need.

If you’d like more information about Enabling Access or HSE, or if you’re wondering how aging in place might affect real estate decisions, I’d be happy to connect you.

Last but not least, the Province of Manitoba offers many helpful resources.  Please find a link here. 

We’ve got one last long weekend of summer to sit outside—let’s make the most of it! As August winds down and Winnipeg enjoys these final golden days, there’s no better way to soak up the sunshine than on a local patio. Whether you’re meeting with clients, catching up with friends, or simply savoring the city’s summer charm, Winnipeg has plenty of spots perfect for enjoying the season before fall arrives.

Here are a few standout patios in the city that offer not only great atmosphere but also mouthwatering food — and all without needing to mention a single drink.

Bar Italia – Corydon Avenue Charm

Located in the heart of Little Italy, Bar Italia's patio is a staple of summer in Winnipeg. Stretching along the bustling Corydon strip, this patio is perfect for people-watching or simply enjoying the city's vibrant summer life. Known for its casual vibe and Italian-inspired menu, it's the kind of place where a classic pasta or a fresh caprese salad makes the sunshine taste even better.

Saffron’s – Mediterranean Escape

Just a stone’s throw away on Corydon as well, Saffron’s patio feels like a little Mediterranean getaway. Lush greenery and cozy seating make it an inviting space for a laid-back lunch or a sunny afternoon meal. The menu boasts Mediterranean and Greek influences, with dishes like souvlaki, spanakopita, and fresh salads bursting with flavor — all served under the warmth of Winnipeg’s summer sun.

Colosseo Ristorante Italiano – Hidden Gem with Big Flavor

Colosseo offers a quieter, more tucked-away patio experience just off the main drag. It’s perfect for those looking to enjoy a slower pace with exceptional Italian fare. Their patio may be a little more intimate, but the dishes are bold — think creamy risottos, hearty lasagna, and wood-fired pizzas. A perfect spot for a lunch meeting or a family outing.

Buccacino’s – A Village Favourite

Over in Osborne Village, Buccacino’s offers a well-loved patio that combines a relaxed, neighborhood vibe with seriously satisfying food. With generous portions and a diverse menu ranging from pastas to grilled sandwiches and hearty mains, this patio is a great stop during a day exploring the Village. The surrounding trees and unique character of the area make it feel like a cozy escape right in the city.

Whether you're new to Winnipeg or a lifelong local, discovering these patios is a reminder of how much the city comes alive when the sun is out. As a real estate agent, I love showing off not just homes — but the lifestyle that comes with them. And in Winnipeg, patio season is a big part of that charm.

Spring has officially arrived in Winnipeg, and with it comes a vibrant lineup of events that showcase the city's rich culture, culinary delights, and architectural heritage.

Here are a few must-visit events this April and May that I’m especially excited about:

Lita Fontaine, a celebrated Dakota/Anishinaabe/Metis artist, presents her solo exhibition Winyan, a powerful exploration of Indigenous identity, womanhood, and tradition. Her work is deeply rooted in storytelling, and this exhibit invites reflection on the roles, strength, and spirituality of Indigenous women. It’s a must-see for art lovers and anyone interested in Winnipeg’s rich cultural mosaic.

🌾 St. Norbert Farmers’ Market

📍 3514 Pembina Highway

There’s something special about shopping local, and the St. Norbert Farmers’ Market is the heart of that experience in Winnipeg. From fresh produce and baked goods to handmade crafts and friendly smiles, this market is a springtime staple. It’s also a fantastic way to support local growers and makers while soaking up the sunshine.

Spring is more than just a season — it’s a feeling. A time to reconnect, refresh, and rediscover the beauty of our communities. As a Winnipeg realtor, I love helping people find not only the right home but the neighbourhoods and events that make this city such a vibrant place to live.

Whether you’re attending a gallery opening, laughing until your cheeks hurt, or picking up fresh greens at the market, these moments remind us why Winnipeg is so easy to fall in love with — especially in the spring.

As the snow melts and Winnipeg bursts into spring, it's the perfect time to think about ways to live a little greener at home. Earth Day is a reminder that small changes can make a big impact—not just for the environment, but for your home's comfort, efficiency, and value.

As a local realtor, I’ve seen eco-conscious features become increasingly important to buyers here in Winnipeg. Homes that offer energy efficiency, sustainability, and smart upgrades tend to stand out—and often sell for more.

So whether you're thinking about selling or just want to create a more eco-friendly space, here are some seasonally appropriate, practical ways to green your home this spring and summer.

🌿 Simple Swaps for a Greener Home

You don’t have to start with a renovation—small changes can add up:

• LED bulbs for patios, porches, and garden lighting—more efficient and longer-lasting.
  
  

• Low-flow fixtures help save water as we head into gardening and lawn-care season.
  
  

• Eco-friendly cleaning products for spring cleaning that’s safe for your family and the environment.
  
  

• Reusable items like beeswax wraps, cloth napkins, and refillable containers to reduce everyday waste.

🌞 Spring & Summer Sustainability Tips

• Rain barrels: Collect rainwater to use in your garden and reduce strain on the water system.
  
  

• Native plants & pollinator gardens: Choose local species that thrive in our climate and support biodiversity—bonus: they’re low-maintenance!
  
  

• Outdoor compost bins: Get ready for garden season by composting food scraps and yard waste to create rich soil.
  
  

• Unplug & open up: Take advantage of warmer weather by unplugging and letting natural light and fresh air in.

⚡ Energy-Efficient Upgrades That Add Value

• Energy-efficient windows & doors: Still important in Winnipeg, but especially useful in keeping your home cool during our hot prairie summers.
  
  

• Smart thermostats: Control cooling efficiently and save on energy bills during temperature swings.
  
  

• Solar panels: Manitoba has plenty of sunny days—solar can be a smart long-term investment, and Manitoba Hydro offers programs to help.

🏡 Why Green Homes Matter in Winnipeg

Winnipeggers care about sustainability, and buyers are paying attention. Eco-friendly features like efficient heating/cooling, water-saving upgrades, and green landscaping don’t just benefit the planet—they make your home more comfortable, more attractive, and more valuable when it hits the market.

Thinking of making your home a little greener this season? Let’s chat! I’d be happy to share which upgrades are worth the investment in our local market—and help you turn Earth Day inspiration into real value for your home.

I don't know about you, but I am so excited about spring!  It's as if all of humanity is being brought back to life! For many, it is a time to do a significant clean around the house, to declutter and remove unwanted items.  

Whether you are getting ready for a sale, or just wanting to maintain your haven, here are eight important things that should be included on every homeowner’s spring checklist this year:

Examine the Roof

During the winter months, the roof of your home takes a beating. After months of heavy snowfalls, wind storms and ice build-up, your roof shingles may be in need of some attention. Hire a professional to climb up onto your roof and do an inspection. Check if any shingles are missing, cracked, buckled, or if they are beginning to curl. Shingles that have any damage at all should be replaced. If it looks like you have more than just a few shingles to replace, it may be time to start budgeting for a new roof before next winter.

Clean Out the Gutters

While we are on the topic of roofs, check out the gutter situation. The gutters on your house should be cleaned at least annually to prevent clogs and damage. The best time to do it is in the late fall after the leaves have fallen off nearby trees. Winter storms tend to cause plenty of debris to fly around, and some of it could be lodged in your gutters. Getting this done again at the beginning of the spring season will set you ahead of the curve when it comes to summer storms and help improve the health of your roof. 

Inspect the Attic

Next, make your way up to the attic. Check for moisture, mould, water damage, or signs of any pesky critters living up there. Build-up of moisture could lead to significant damage if left undetected, and it is also a sign that you may need to get your roof inspected.

Thoroughly Investigate the Basement

After going up, it’s time to head down to the basement. Look for similar things as you would in the attic. Basements are more prone to issues such as water and moisture damage, especially as the seasons change. While you are down there, check for any cracks or signs of leaks in the foundation. Check out the sump pump and windows to ensure they are all sealed properly.

Inspect the Air Conditioning Unit

As the temperatures rise, it’s only a matter of time before you decide to turn on the AC to get some relief on those hot summer days. Make sure you do a thorough inspection of the AC unit, or hire a professional to do this for you if you’re unfamiliar with the required maintenance. The beginning of spring is a great time to change the filters and call in to have the unit serviced if needed.

Fence and Deck Maintenance

With all the snow and ice melted, it’s time to inspect your fences and deck. Check for cracked boards or panels, and make a plan to replace them if needed. It’s also good to check under the deck for signs of rodents or other pests that could have taken up residence during the colder months.

Spend Some Time on the Lawn

No one’s grass looks great after a long, harsh winter. Spend some time this spring tending to your front and back lawn. This could involve spreading grass seed or creating a better drainage system to eliminate water pooling, which is unpleasant to walk in and creates mosquito habitats.

Top-to-Bottom Interior Clean

Finally, we recommend doing a thorough top-to-bottom clean of your home’s interior. Clean out the fridge and kitchen cupboards and put all your winter wear away into storage. After all, lightening up your home and decluttering it will only add to the peace of mind that usually comes once the spring weather hits.

Last but not least, get back outside and enjoy it!

Why this is a good thing to do, and where to take your beloved items after you no longer need them.

I firmly believe that how we set up our homes is a marker for how we will show up in our lives. Letting go of the old can help create space for the new.

As the holidays approach and the New Year begins, it's natural to reflect on where we've been and where we're headed. Often, these internal changes inspire external ones—whether that's reimagining how we enjoy our current home, preparing to stage it for sale, or even starting fresh in a new place.

You might be entering a new season of life—perhaps a marriage or loss in the family, a change in economic status, or a move to a larger or smaller home. Or maybe you’re preparing to sell your house and need to get it market-ready. Whatever your situation, decluttering is an essential step toward embracing these transitions.

Here are some questions I have found helpful to ask yourself as you pack and sort. I’ve also put together an updated list of places in Winnipeg where you can donate items. If you know of others to add, I’d love to hear about them—this is by no means an exclusive list.

What do I truly need to thrive in my life right now?

What can I let go of to create space for growth?

Who might benefit from the things I no longer need?
