It’s done. The green we had around the house is almost gone. The green is disappearing all over the place; sometimes replaced by new buildings other times it’s just a wood business where the land owners sell the wood to furniture companies.

Having a green environment…

When I was working full time the house cleaning was always an issue. I had no time to clean up, everything was done in a rush, usually on the weekend but the house never seemed to be cleaned. I used to say that I needed to stay at home…

I have been having mixed emotions…like the weather.

We don’t know anymore in which season we are. Some days it rains and it’s cold, other days are warm and sunny. Meanwhile we have been trying to figure out how the wind is blowing inside our house. Yes, on windy days outside, we have windy days inside.…

As I always forget to take the before and after photos this time before even knowing when will I start cleaning up the garage, I decided to take a photo as it is now.

You can many boxes, I can say they contain baby cloths, house decorations from 10 years ago that I never and…

We have been having negative temperatures during the night. I know this is normal for some of you but not so normal for us. I had to put extra blankets in…

Sometimes, when we reach the end of the weekend we say, where did the weekend go? Well, this was a weekend that I can say I did valuable work that I can in fact  really notice. Reusing and helping others was the main subject.

For my son’s birth I…

Yesterday we discovered that we have a sealing problem in the bath of one of the bathrooms. As we have two bathrooms on the second floor we only used one of them for our showers and baths. As we have been repainting the house we decided to use one bathroom and the kids use the other.…

This is a picture of the condominium front garden where I have my house. The condo has 12 houses and this huge front garden that looks more like a dry desert.

Ever since we lived here that we have problems with the front garden. It all started with our first neighbor’s meeting…

This is a corner I have on my backyard and I need ideas for it.

The green container is my composter bin and the wall behind it divides my house from my neighbor’s house. The left wall is my living room external wall. Although I have a more or less rectangular backyard, I also have this…
