🌿 Spring is here—time to freshen up your lawn! 🌱

As we head into the season of lawn maintenance, here are a few mowing tips to keep your grass healthy and green:

✔️ Mow at the right height—about 3 inches helps prevent weeds and promotes strong roots.
✔️ Keep your mower blades sharp for a clean, healthy cut.
✔️ Mow when the grass is dry to avoid clumping and uneven cuts.
✔️ Switch up your mowing direction to prevent soil compaction.

We hope the weather stays nice for you all! Happy mowing! ☀️🚜

We hope you all had a restful long weekend!

We had the pleasure of spending Family Day weekend together, at Nicolia's new home in Sooke.

On Family Day Monday, the whole little Homeward Bound team, Rosemarie, Tom, and Nicolia, had breakfast together and spent a chill morning playing the card game "Golf."

On February 1st, our daughter, Rhea, welcomed her second child, a boy named Walter.

We are so thrilled for this new grandchild. Rhea, baby, and whole family are doing great! Walter's older brother, 2.5 year old Joa, is simply in love with him!

Here is Rosemarie with newborn Walter (after many hours of being there with Rhea through labour :P)

We hope you are all enjoying your February so far.

Here are the monthly stats for January 2025.

Our real estate board announced the award winners of 2024 and I have received silver! I just want to thank everyone who we worked with this year (especially all our amazing clients)- you are the reason we do what we do! So appreciative!

The Chinese New Year was on Jan. 29th and we are entering the year of the snake!

Fun fact: The snake is one of Rosemarie's favourite animals- she finds them so peaceful and interesting. Ironically, her Chinese Zodiac sign is the rat, an animal she is not so fond of. Perhaps she is a snake Zodiac at heart ❤️🐍

Wishing you all a happy Chinese New Year!
