It hasn’t been so long ago that you put the boots and winter coats away, yet, unbelievable as it is, it is nearly time to start thinking about summer and protecting your kids from the dangers connected with it.
Even if you have small children at home and have basics such as baby gates installed in your home, you want to keep children of all ages safe from the special dangers presented by pools and summer activities.
Though school won’t be out for a couple months, take time to plan ahead.
With the prolonged summer break from school getting closer, you’re going to have to get ready for having kids at home, underfoot, and most likely asking to be entertained. Make it easy on yourself by getting a few things ready in advance.
Whether your kids are first-graders, or coming home from university for the summer, chances are you need to make a few changes before they spend that amount of time in your house.
For the younger children in your life, there are some key areas that need attention. The kitchen is the most likely place where burns and scalds are going to happen. Be extra cautious when cooking or carrying hot foods or liquids. Add child safety locks to drawers and cupboard doors that might contain sharp objects or cleaning supplies. ..read more

When you’re thinking of home, what comes to mind? A spacious dwelling in the suburbs with plenty of square footage? Outdoor space? Luxurious amenities? Closeness to work? Proximity to restaurants, bars, and shopping?
Your answer to this question might differ depending on where you are in your life. If you’re just starting out, you might value a hip downtown location near nightlife and free of lawn care and other responsibilities of home ownership. As your family grows, you might want space, amenities, and beautiful views. If you’re downsizing, you might seek smaller quarters, but still want an upscale feel.
New Options Right Downtown
An upcoming condo development in South Kamloops, Shiloh Place, could be the ideal location for you regardless of your situation. Available in one or two bedrooms, with or without a den, these new condos are well priced, spacious, and fitted with amenities you’ll love. Located at 1393 9th Avenue, they overlook downtown and the river, which makes it convenient if you want to live and work near the city center in a place with great views of the city, along with green space. For an even better view, you can relax on the rooftop community garden terrace.
The condos vary in size from 482 sq. ft. to 867 sq. ft., depending on how many bedrooms and bathrooms you have and whether you have a den. Shiloh Place offers several floor plans for your consideration that range in price from $149,900-$264,900 in the preconstruction phase. The price point makes the units affordable even for first-time homebuyers and attractive for investors who can easily rent out prime units in the heart of town.
Affordable Luxury
The luxury finishes in the units increase their appeal. The designer kitchens include all the buzzwords 
on buyers must have lists: granite countertops, double bowl underground sinks, tile back splashes, contemporary cabinets with under cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, and more. Move into the bathroom, and you’ll see an inviting soaker tile, 12” x 24” porcelain tiles, an elegant square sink, and dual flush toilets. Throughout the units, individually planked 5″ laminate flooring offers beauty and durability, while designer broadloomed carpet provides comfort in the bedrooms. As with any new home, you’ll have the opportunity to select colors to customize your living space.
Each unit is prewired for security and is but a few steps away from a secure, well-lit arcade that offers plenty of space for visitors. Shiloh Place offers the perfect package of features to make it a living solution that accommodates you and even your pet.
Gracious, yet affordable, downtown living awaits. Just stop by the Presentation Centre at 1393 90 Avenue any day except Wednesdays and Fridays from 1-4pm. As the sales agents for this property, my team and I will be there to discuss the floor plans, show you examples of the fine features and finishes that will grace your home, and help you realize how affordable a home at Shiloh Place can be. If you are not able to visit the Centre during those times, please give me a call at 250- 819-4727 to schedule a time for a visit.
