A blog about automations, food and country life
I can proudly say that on 16th January in history around 37 years ago, my parents world stood still. This was when they were “blessed” with my presence.. haha Now one could easily argue that blessed wasn’t the right word for them, but it was for me to have such an amazing set of parents. […]
One of the things we immediately noticed when we moved to Keswick Ridge was the amount of local businesses around us. This was a good thing for us, as both of us wanted to see what they were and look for a means to support them. After posting on the community’s facebook page we found […]
After a while of not flipping switches, whenever we left the house we got used to saying “Hey Google, turn off all my lights”. But then again, having to say that everytime sounded like repetition to me and we also had to remember to say that. It got me thinking – “If only there was […]

Today’s blog was brought to you by – “Honey! I love you”. Those words have always been a warning sign that something will be asked of me. For those who follow Elma’s Instagram, (insert shameless plug to her Instagram account @elmamirandamirza), she put up the Christmas trees and decorations around two weeks ago. And yesterday […]
After a week of spending time looking at my little lab rats (sorry Elma, Dad and Mom), they did this for the ensuite, hallway, basement’s living room too. Ahhh kids. So, I added sensors and smart bulbs in the other rooms as well to do what I did for the kitchen, and BAM! the lights […]
