What Happens toYour Mortgage When You Sell Up: Two-Part Series
Soon the hustle and bustle of anoth-er school year will be in full swing. Some parents eagerly look forward
to September, while others start panick-ing about everything they need to do prior to the fi rst school bell ring. REW.ca spoke to Everything Organized franchise owner Kathleen Boland for her best tips ever to make the transition from summer to school-room as stress-free as possible.
“The end of summer is a natural time to refresh our homes, schedules, wardrobes and habits,” says Boland. “Back to school is ingrained in us to move from vacation mode to work mode. Go with it!”
Boland’s Top Five Back-to-School Tips
1) Sort Out BedroomsYou can have the older kids help out with
easy household chores – fi rst off , getting their rooms ready for the fall school year. After they have gone through their closets and rid themselves of clothes, shoes and winter jackets and boots that they have outgrown, the rooms are then ready to have their windows cleaned, dirt marks washed
off the walls, furniture dusted and fl oors given a good vacuum. (The end of summer is a perfect time to clean windows before it gets too cold outside.)
2) Create a Communication Centre You will be inundated with school-relat-
ed paperwork, so gather it all together in a designated communication centre. It will keep things under control and help you maintain your cool when looking for permission slips and forms. Boland is a real proponent of the clipboard method because it provides each family member with their own clipboard in order to keep track of all pertinent school information.
Another great technique is to create a children’s workstation with hooks for backpacks and individual message boards to communicate to each child what the day’s schedule is, including homework, activities, specifi c books or gear to pack, and any chores to do. Ensure that the most pressing events are at the top of the list. Colour-code each person’s board so that it’s easier to review who is doing what.
3) Designate a Homework Area Decide whether homework will be done in
bedrooms or out in the open. Set them up for success by putting all their necessary sup-plies in a simplifi ed and organized space. If your child has a lot of supplies, you can buy heavy-duty plastic supply carts, or refurbish an old fi ling cabinet. You can add shelves with dividers and a chalkboard on the side of it for easy access to homework deadlines.
Know if your child works best with white noise in the background such as their choice of music or a fan, or if they work best with silence to concentrate, and provide the best environment for them accordingly.
4) Time for a Chore Review As children get older their responsibili-
ties should grow as well. Let them to be working members of the family, showing maturity as their chores align with their age. Add on tasks that can challenge them such as cooking, or chores that take more eff ort to achieve such as lawn mowing or shovelling snow. The goal is that they are able to take care of themselves by the time they leave home, one happy day!
5) Digital Diary Instead of Projects Everywhere
Does your house get overrun with artwork on walls, science projects on sideboards and a host of other school-related detritus? A great idea is to start an annual digital diary for each child. Take photos or videos of those science experiments, certifi cates earned, music concerts and art projects. At the end of the school year you can create a slideshow that is tailored to each child and much easier to keep than a pile of craft papers and cardboard. The added bonus is that you can share it with family and friends!

SUMMER’S SIZZLING ATBRIDAL FALLS RV/COTTAGE RESORT The lazy days of summer are nearly
over but at Bridal Falls RV/Cottage Resort, residents are still indulging
in the country atmosphere and welcoming spirit of the Fraser Valley; where friends and families are meeting and memories are being made.
Nestled amongst the Cascades Mountain Range, close to three lakes and unparalleled fi shing on the Fraser River, the year-round community is situated in a beautiful natural landscape, surrounded by trees and mountains.
“Our new premium two bedroom and two bathroom cottages are the country’s largest manufactured cottages and we now have two available for viewing right on site,” says Ron Sturm, owner/partner in the resort. “Our Grand opening in June exceeded our expectations … it was a huge success with more than 300 people attending.”
After months of searching for a vacation home in the U.S. and B.C., Vancouverites Melinda and Ping Mui were sold on Bridal Falls.
“We had been looking in Arizona, Las Vegas and Vancouver Island, but didn’t fi nd them desirable … we didn’t want to
have to fl y all the time to get to our vaca-tion home nor did we want to have to fi ght ferry traffi c,” says Melinda.
When they saw the new two bedroom cottages at Bridal Falls, they decided this was the place for them. “It’s less than an hour and a half drive from Vancouver so it’s close enough but far enough from the city to feel like a getaway,” she says, add-ing the price was great.
This summer, the couple lounged pool-side and took in some of the events in the stunning log cabin clubhouse. They also got to know their neighbours on the 2,000+ square foot sun deck overlooking the gardens, the pool and hot-tub deck.
There’s so much to do for the outdoor enthusiast - whether it’s walking or hik-
ing at Bridal Falls Provincial Park or the Cheam Lake bird sanctuary. You are min-utes away from numerous lakes, rivers, including Cultus, Chilliwack and Harrison lakes; as well as golf courses, parks and the Bridal Falls Waterslides.
Act Fast! Right now you can save $20,000 during their Grand Opening Promotion! Prices start from $199,900 for lot and cottage or $94,900 for lots. Bridal Falls is launching a new incentive (to be released this weekend) of a one year, unlimited golf package for two at award-winning The Falls Golf Course.
There is still a nice selection of cottages and Phase 1 lots available. “Every lot is a great lot,” adds Sturm.
Discover the magic of The Bridal Falls RV/Cottage Resort - a place perfect for downsizers and for that great family escape!
The Presentation Centre and display cottages, located on Cheam Road, are
open daily from 11 a.m.to 4 p.m. For more information,
call 604-745-4104, email [email protected] or
visit www.discoverbridalfalls.com.
