À qui la chance?

A couple of us here at mar-vo took up Pilates as our preferred exercise of choice, and are glad that Laval has a good number of gyms to choose from!
Cat prefers Inspiration Pilates in Chomedey. This a small and intimate place offering quickie (but effective!) floor mat sessions during lunch hour, challenging Reformer machines, mom-and-baby […]

So goes our first Halloween in Fabreville Ouest- we carved our first Jack-o-Lantern, laid out a giant spider web on our front steps, and then embedded plastic spiders and skeletons in it, and felt more than ready armed with 2 giant boxes of name-brand candy. We were determined to be ‘the cool house’.

Boy, were we […]

So it’s no big secret that mar-vo agent Catherine is getting married. Yes, it’s quite an adventure, going through noisy wedding trade shows, choosing the right DJ (”no, you canNOT play Baby Got Back”), bribing ring boys with promises of Lego if he just walks down the aisle like a little gentleman and doesn’t lose the […]

Well, folks, the media are always delighted to report all kinds of dreadfulness in order to make some headlines- bad news sells papers. The real estate news coming in from the US is especially gloomy. But this weekend’s news reports all show a sunnier […]
