Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights I am a bit late on this update -it’s been a crazy couple of weeks, and the temperature is heating up so I’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors. Started coaching my son (Isaac’s) soccer two days a week.  So far 2/4 have been rained out unfortunately, but it’s been fun! Isaac turned 6 at the end of April, so we had a few different parties at our place. Went to both Winnipeg Jets playoff games – which were pretty underwhelming, but still had a good time. Took the wife out to a restaurant she hadn’t been to yet, played in a curlin ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights Since selling the cabin, we’ve got to work on a lot of the house renovations we said we were going to do.  New roof – done.  New floors – done. Rip out old fireplace – done.  We also picked up some new furniture.  One of the last things is to get the place re-painted.  We’ve started this and the whole job should be done this week! The kids had a school concert – it was Isaac’s first ever and they both did great.  Holland had her first ever sleepover party at a friends house last weekend, everyone survived ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights The new year is here, the holidays are behind us, and we are back into the normal routines (school, dance, soccer, curling etc).   I played in the Ironman  Curling Bonspiel over the weekend, which was a ton of fun – although nothing like real curling.  Basically you curl on the river, in -30 weather and the conditions are insane….no sliding out, just hucking the rock as hard as you can and hoping it lands somewhere in play.  It was still lots of fun though, they had beer inside, everyone had flasks outside, an ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights We made it!  2023 is upon us, and holy shit was it a busy December to cap the year off.  Here are a few highlights…. Holland had her winter dance recital.  This was her second ever recital – last year she did 1 routine, this year she is in 2 classes (Acro & Jazz) so she performed two different dances.  She killed both of em of course…. Like complete idiots, we decided to do a bunch of renovations in December (right before we were scheduled to host 2 Christmas dinners and a New Years Party).  Somehow, we m ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights Another busy month!  My soccer season started, the kids are in dance & swimming, and I started my curling “career” with a win! The cabin has officially sold, the money has cleared and we’ve begun spending it/investing it and making plans for the rest of it.  The first thing we did was we each took a bit of money to “treat ourselves”.  Amber bought a bunch of new clothes, spent some money on a girls trip and got a new Christmas Tree.  In typical Jordan fashion – I got an XBOX One Series X and some booze…hah.&nbs ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights On a personal level….September was BUSY – and it looks like things are just getting started… Summer is over, school routines are back, Holland started dance again, Isaac starts swimming right away….my soccer season starts in a week, my wife starts curling in 2 weeks and I decided to play mixed curling every second Saturday starting later this month with my brother & wife…crazy times. I spent 4 nights in Chicago this month for a work conference, but got to see a bit of the city, had a few good meals, and even met up with an old fri ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights After going over 2+ years without catching it – few members of our family caught covid in August.  Somehow I managed to avoid it, and luckily the symptoms weren’t too bad.  Everyone is healed up and feeling better now!  Had an MRI on my shoulder for an injury from about 10 years ago.  Still waiting on the results. I celebrated my 39th birthday. Kept it low key, no big parties this year, but we did go see  The Wizard of Oz @ Rainbow Stage.  The performance was great, the kids loved it, and I’ll always h ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights The month started off pretty shitty (literally) as 75% of our household caught a 24 hour stomach flu (I was the one lucky one who somehow didn’t catch it).  However we ended July off with a bang! We spent the last 10 days at the cabin on a nice little vacation.  Unfortunately it’s back to the real world tomorrow We took the kids to “Boomers Funny Farm” a petting zoo/farm just north of our cabin.  The kids had a great time playing with/petting the animals and going for a mini horse ride.  Highly recommend it to any ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights June was SUPER busy.  Lots of exciting things in the Maas household. A few highlights: Took a day trip to Morning Sound farm with Isaac and his Preschool class.  There were hay rides, a petting zoo, and so many goats.  We had a great time. Isaac graduated from preschool (starts kindergarten in September), Holland finished Grade 1.  Here is a pic of me and my preschool grad – and another of Holland on her first and last day of grade 1! Attended my first in person Whisky Tasting with the Whisky Club.  We had a ..read more

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update Personal Highlights May was a fun/busy month all around.  My daughter (and her cousin) had their first ever dance recital in front of 500+ people(and they nailed it)!  The kids have also been in swimming Mon-Thursday with dance on Friday – so the weeks have been super busy-but fun. I jumped on a plane and travelled for the first time since 2020.  I attended a conference in New York and had a blast.  The work bit was super busy and productive, but we also enjoyed some excellent dinners, lots of cocktails and even enjoyed a sip of Van W ..read more
