✨ SOLD! Congratulations to my amazing sellers! ✨

It’s always such a rewarding moment when all the hard work pays off — and this one truly did! From painting throughout the home 🎨, bringing in professional cleaners 🧼, to carefully following every bit of advice from my stager, these sellers went above and beyond to make their home picture perfect.

Their dedication, teamwork, and trust made all the difference — and it showed! 💜

Wishing them all the best as they begin the exciting journey to their beautiful step-up home. 🏡💫

Helping families take the next step — whether it’s upsizing, downsizing, or finding your “just right” — is what I love most about what I do.

🌟 From Social Work to Real Estate: A Story of Service

For over 20 years, I was a social worker. I sat with people in their hardest moments — helping them navigate crises, find safety, rebuild hope. It shaped me deeply.

When I transitioned into real estate, some people were surprised. “That’s such a different path,” they’d say.

But to me, it wasn’t.

In both roles, my mission has been the same: to guide people through life-changing moments — to listen, advocate, and help them feel safe in the unfamiliar.

Buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction. It’s personal. Emotional. Vulnerable.

And I bring my full heart to that process — just like I always have.

If you're new here or we haven't connected in a while, I just wanted to reintroduce myself. This is the “why” behind what I do.

Thanks for being here. 💛

Changes are coming to how blue and black bins are collected across the province.

Under regulations from the Government of Ontario, the producers of paper and packaging will be responsible for collecting and processing blue and black bin materials.

This means that beginning on Thursday, January 1, 2026 the City of Ottawa will no longer be responsible for collecting your blue and black bin.

Circular Materials will manage the new recycling system on behalf of the producers.

What this means for curbside recycling collection in :
- Continue to put your bins out by 7 am on your collection day. They will be collected by a different truck and collection may occur at a different time of day than usual.
- There will be minor changes to what can go in your blue and black bins as of January 1, 2026. A full list of items that can be recycled is available at CircularMaterials.ca/ottawa
- You can continue to use your existing standard sized blue and black bins.
- Beginning on Thursday, January 1, 2026, you will no longer contact the City for any recycling-related services such as a broken bin or a missed collection.

We will continue to provide information to residents over the coming weeks as more details become available.

Hey Ottawa! 🌟 I’m shining the spotlight today on a local gem in Westboro Village: Yeazecha at 181 Richmond Rd, Ottawa.

What makes Yeazecha special??

Their menu features creative boba and tea-blends—think Orange Jasmine Tea, Grape Jasmine Tea, Mango Pomelo Coconut, and more.

Friendly neighbourhood spot that fits perfectly into a relaxed Ottawa lifestyle: stop by for a treat after a walk in Westboro.

Great for a quick pick-up or take-out while exploring the area.
