There aren’t many riders out there that started their MTB career with a 24 hour race as their first event.

Natural materials don’t guarantee healthy carpet – be sure you’re not buying a seemingly eco-friendly carpet that has actually been treated with insect or flame repellents. Conventionally-produced wool can also have a heavy environmental impact due to the pesticide baths used to control parasites on sheep. And some of the worst off-gassing can be caused by a culprit you may not expect: the carpet backing.
When buying eco-friendly carpet backing or pads, look for natural materials like non-synthetic latex, untreated wool or camel hair felt. Carpet backings that are sewn on or glued using natural, non-toxic adhesives are healthier choices than those using adhesives that off-gas VOCs. Source: MNN
A single load of laundry that is washed and dried at the highest heat setting produces 7.27 pounds of CO2, so it is imperative not to waste your loads by running them when they are half full. You can also cut back on your emissions by using the cold setting and drying clothes on a line. The same principle applies to washing dishes. Instead of steaming them dry, consider skipping that step and either drying them by hand or allowing them to air dry. Yes, you might have more streaks or spots on your dishes, but you will also have a lower carbon footprint. Source: LifeHack
Ditch disposable razors for reusable ones. Swap plastic cups and paper plates for ceramic ones. Choose reusable food containers over plastic wrap. Choose rechargeable batteries over the conventional single-use kind. Source: WebMD
Don’t just get and use them—flip them off whenever you’re done using the things that are plugged in. Everything from TVs to phone chargers can act as “vampire appliances,” leeching energy while not in use. Source: ArchitecturalDigest

Contrary to popular belief, carpets can be cheap and manageable. That is if you choose synthetic fibers for your flooring. Known for their great resistance and low cost, the following types of carpet will be perfect even for the busiest working professional. Take a look:
Photo by Bulkan Evcimen on Unsplash
Carpet made from polyester is long lasting and more readily retains bright colors. It is a very tough fiber so it is easy to clean with regular vacuuming, spot cleaning for stains and it will not wear down as quickly as some other materials. Source: AngiesList
Nylon is one of the most well-known synthetic fibers. For years it has been considered the ‘ultimate’ carpet fiber. Nylon is, in general, a strong fiber with high resiliency (the ability to bounce back after becoming flattened or compacted). This translates into a very durable carpet.
Nylon does have some disadvantages, though: it is more expensive than other synthetic carpet fibers, and less stain resistant (although it is always protected with a stain treatment). Source: TheSpruce
Olefin fibers have a similar appearance to wool. This is one reason why this fiber finds applications in area rug. It is often a good choice for loop carpets like Berbers. The fiber is strong, elastic, has good abrasion resistance and has excellent resistance to staining, chemicals, mildew and fading. It is an excellent choice for both indoors and outdoors like artifical sport turfs. Olefins are usually the least expensive carpet fibers but they also have lower resilience than nylon and polyester, meaning olefin fibers do not “bounce back” as quickly after being compressed by foot traffic.
Acrylic fibers are made from polyacrylonitrile. The fiber is lightweight, soft, and warm, with a wool-like feel and can mimic natural fibers such as cotton and wool or can be blended with them. The fiber has fair to good abrasion resistance and good resistance to staining, chemicals, mildew, and fading. However, acrylic fibers are not as durable as the other three major types of carpet fibers. Acrylics are usually not a good choice for high traffic areas. Source: PolymerDatabase

Coco Oakridge by Keltic Canada Development is a new 6 storey condo and townhouse development located on Vancouver’s Westside. This project will offer 57 units, sizes range from 520sqft to 1,610 sqft. Coco is a solid, concrete build. Its exterior massing is clean and linear with a real feeling of substance. Expansive windows open up the structure offering ample natural light to the interior, and creating reflections that shift with time of day and colour of sunlight. Details include spacious patios in some homes with North Shore mountain views or sunny, southern exposure. Private rooftop terraces in select penthouse homes offer expansive views in multiple directions.

Want to stay up-to-date with the latest looks this upcoming season? Get an idea from the industry experts by taking note of the following tips:

High fashion designers are opting for more simple, classic lines, clean cuts and scaled back detail. For interiors, a minimalist approach with less clutter, with monochromatic palettes and muted tones. Black and white is a continuous staple, pairing this with simple contrast patterns or details like piping on bedheads, chairs and sofas. A touch of tufted button details can get you in on this trending style. Source: HomesToLove
Matchy-matchy might be trending on the runway, and mono-colour design taking hold in restaurants and hotels the world over, but for something unexpected, try synchronising your art. By grouping the same series on a single wall, the effect is like a chic, removable version of wallpaper—voila! Instant update (and a chance to buy more art, obviously). Source: Vogue
As the weather cools down we are automatically drawn to heavier fabrics and darker, moodier colours. These elements tend to lend themselves to a slightly masculine undertone. Embrace this trend by layering up earthy brown, rich mustard and tan leather fabrics into your scheme.
These colours are especially paired well if you already have a base colour scheme of greys and black. Another way to complete this look is to mix rough and smooth textures. Keep furniture to exposed timbers, but fixtures such as feature lighting smooth and sleek. Source: OrbitHomes
Summer may have been the season of all things tropical, with palm and leaf motifs dominating, but in autumn, natural elements and texture are still key towards creating an inviting and visually exciting atmosphere.
“Perennial plants offer a fresh, natural take as decor and table centrepieces,” Rebecca advises. “While green plants are always a fool-proof way to embrace an organic look, plants with red, brown and orange hues will lend a lovely, seasonal twist to your autumn display.” Source: PressReleases.ResponseSource
The other thing people will notice right away as they enter your home is your carpet. So, don’t forget to give it some love, too. Whether you’re thinking of a carpet update or just thinking about having it cleaned, give us a call and we can help!

These printable Apple Visual Discrimination Games help kids practice the skills needed to distinguish between similar letters and numbers in Pre-K, Preschool, and Kindergarten.
Visual discrimination skills are so important for young children because it helps them to be able to identify letters and numbers. This skill helps children distinguish between similar letter shapes such as p, q, b, d, as well as similar numbers and shapes.
These are free downloadable printables.
Look here for more Visual Discrimination Printables!
There are two sets of Apple Matching Cards: use one or both. One set has apples & apple slices, the other set has “apple buddies”.
To prepare the sets, print them onto card stock paper (download button is below), and laminate if you choose. Each set includes mats and matching cards. Cut the cards apart (but not the mat). The mats can be used as they are, or you can glue them onto a file folder to make a file folder game. You might wish to add Velcro so kids can Velcro the pieces in the correct spot.
Children will choose an apple card from the stack, and look on the mat to find it’s match. They will place the apple card in the square by the apple’s match.
Note: This is a free printable, just click to download.
There are two sets of Apple Same and Different Cards. One set has photos of apples (this is the original set that I made) and the new set has apple clipart.
To prepare the sets, print the cards onto card stock paper (download button is below), and laminate if you choose. Cut the cards apart: there are four cards per sheet. I recommend cutting the cards apart, because leaving all of them on one mat would be visually confusing for children.
Each card has four pictures: 3 pictures are the same and 1 picture is different. Children will choose a card and carefully look at each picture. They will find the picture that is different and mark it with a manipulative. The cards have varying levels of difficulty. For beginners, start with the cards on the first page.
There are lots of options for manipulatives to use for marking the answer on the cards.
Set #1 with Photos | Set #2 with Clipart
Note: This is a free printable, just click to download.
