Gardening in Canada comes with its own set of challenges. One of the biggest is the short growing season. In many parts of the country, frost can stick around well into spring and return early in the fall. This means gardeners have a limited window to plant, grow, and harvest. To make the most of this limited time, it’s important to plan carefully and start your garden prep early. With the right steps, even a short season can bring strong results and a healthy garden.

The spaces we live and work in have a strong effect on how we feel. From the colour of our walls to the furniture we use and the amount of sunlight that enters the room, interior design can play a big role in shaping our emotions, energy levels, and overall well-being. Many people don't realize that making small changes to a space—like choosing the right lighting or reducing clutter—can improve mood, reduce stress, and even help with sleep and focus.

As housing prices in Canadian cities continue to rise, more families are turning to apartments as a viable living option. This shift has prompted developers and city planners to rethink apartment designs to better accommodate family needs. In Toronto, for example, the average detached home price exceeds $1 million, pushing many to consider condos and apartments as more affordable alternatives. Recognizing this trend, developers are now focusing on creating family-friendly living spaces that offer both comfort and functionality.

Hard water stains are a common problem in many homes, especially in areas with high mineral content in the water. These stains appear when water with calcium, magnesium, and other minerals dries on surfaces, leaving behind white, cloudy marks. Glass surfaces like shower doors, windows, and even drinking glasses can quickly lose their shine because of these spots. Over time, the stains can build up and become more difficult to remove, making your home look less clean even when you clean regularly.

Canadian snowbirds—retirees who spend winters in the U.S.—are increasingly selling their Florida properties due to rising costs and political tensions. The Canadian dollar's decline, now around 69 U.S. cents, has made maintaining U.S. homes more expensive. Additionally, insurance premiums have surged, with some homeowners facing annual costs exceeding $16,000, a tenfold increase from previous years. Property taxes and maintenance fees have also risen, prompting many to reconsider their investments.
