I’m sure you’ve heard me say that being free from our jobs makes every day a holiday.
That doesn’t mean we don’t work – it just means that every day is ours to do with as we please. It’s an incredible feeling! No more juggling our vacation days trying to make it work so we can take time off together.

What Customers Say is one website we’re looking forward to having all across Canada. But, it’s not a mash up. It’s a forum where people can write reviews about their real estate agents. Simply stated, a mash up is when data from one place is mashed with a program or data from another. There are dozens of google map mash ups. One of the ones we like is Housing Maps – mashing Craigslist rental data with Google Maps. But, recently we read of a different tool that is better called MapsKreig.
