Description
We are family of 5 with 2 adult kids (living aways and visiting on holidays) and a high school kid at home. I work from home doing bookkeeping and maintain our small acreage that has chickens and 2 friendly golden retrievers. My husband is a healthcare worker that is busy and work long hours.
We are a bilingual household French and English. We love to eat well and prepare all our meals at home and love to try different cultural dishes.
We live just on the western outskirts of the city of Calgary and have a property that has a beautiful view of the Canadian Rockies.
We love to enjoy the outdoors hiking, camping, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, skiing and try to go to the mountains when time allows.
