Posted on: July 2, 2021 at 3:45 pm, in:

July!?! JULY! Quarter 2 of 2021 has ended and Q3 has officially begun. Q3 is my favourite! It’s summer, the days are longer, and I’m so happy to be living closer to the beach.

We’re officially been here in Milton for 3 months, and it definitely feels like home. We’ve painted our kitchen, and dining room, and just this week we had 7 new windows installed! Still lots to do though, we’ve ordered a new metal roof, and are planning on adding some insulation to the front part of the house, that doesn’t have any! (more…)
