All of Oils - Tips from your local South Surrey Realtors



I mentioned before having guest bloggers from a variety of different places. Well this one below is from one of our local favourite family shops - "All of Oils" written by owners Glenn and Kim. I never make it out of their shop without spending at least $50 but more like a $100. Just picked up my eldest daughter's favourite to take back to Med school with her...Butter Olive Oil. If you haven't tried it yet you must visit one of "All of Oils" 2 locations here in South Surrey or their new one in Langley. Be sure to click the link for one of their cooking videos, the quinoa salad looks delicious! For more information visit their website: All of Oils

Bravo Gas fireplace service - Tips from your local Langley Real Estate Specialists
thumb



When we come across a business we are impressed with we want to highly recommend it. 

We have hired a couple different gas fireplace service companies over the years. Just the fact that there have been more than one tells you that we weren't overly impressed with any of them. Earlier this year we were referred to a company that came highly recommended - Bravo Gas Fireplace Service. With the hot weather there was no way we would have even the pilot light on, because it gave off too much heat. But the fall is also not the time to hire them to come in as they tend to get really busy. We originally sought out the referral because our fireplace wouldn't stay on. 

I called this morning looking to see when I could get someone in to clean and fix my fireplace. Bravo Gas Fireplace Service licensed Gas Fitter Fredy Cordova fit us in this afternoon and not only did he fix and clean out our firepalce better than any of the others, he did it quickly, friendly and efficiently. Having been referred to me, I highly recommend and would happily refer Bravo Gas Fireplace Service to anyone looking to get their fireplace serviced and ready for the cooler weather this fall and winter.

Childproofing tips for your home

If you have young children, or expect a visit from friends or relatives with little ones in tow, it pays to ensure your home is free of hazards. The last thing you want is an injury that could have easily been prevented.

Here are some basic childproofing tips.

  • Remove everything that is toxic, hot or sharp, from within reach of a child. (For example, the leaves of some types of house plants are toxic.)

  • If possible, keep children out of the kitchen while cooking.

  • Install plug-in covers in electrical outlets. (These are inexpensive and can be purchased at any hardware store.)

  • Block or gate off areas where kids may fall.

  • Remove "pulling down" hazards, such as a heavy plant that a child can pull off a table.

  • Make sure there are screens on all open windows.

  • Finally, watch your pets. Even the most gentle dog or cat can act unpredictably around children – especially if they're not used to them.
