Hello Bloggers of Cabins2Castles:
"The greatest success of all ambition is to be happy at home."
Don't you just love that saying. It came from the Priest from the Church of England when Queen Victoria was in reign and the Queen respected that priest so much the Anglican Rector was buried in Westminster Abbey!
When you are happy inside your home and inside yourself life is content. We have so much to be grateful for living in Canada. My mission in this blog is to assist you to feel happy at home and within yourself whether you are in a cabin or humble abode or a castle.
My philosophy will always keep a few mandates in mind.
1- To be ecologically mindful.
2- To be prudent and suggest resources that make sense.
3- To suggest common sense in all the decision making you do regarding your home. If I throw in a few philosophical tid bits. Use them or leave them, as long as you know I am here to help not hinder your selection process. Its all about you.
Today I am going to outline my blog topics for the year, as I am one of those organized types. If I didn't mention this before I am a Real Estate Agent with Re/max Professionals out of Saint John New Brunswick Canada. Wonderful place to live Saint John. Since I was born in Ontario, and a globe trotter for years this is the place to settle down and raise a family and grow old, plus have fun!
I took the time to dig into my history of retail information and guess what my conclusions were.
Nothing is new under the sun. Nothing, so the good thing is there is no surprises about your castle or cabin out, just sharpening your perception and to keep working at improving your home and your life. Isn't that a novel idea.
Enough of me. Here is the line up. If there are any topics that are not covered don't hesitate to contact me because I am a good finder outer about inside scoop. By the way this isn't in any order. There will be 53 in total for the remaining of the year.
