How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Grieving

in Uncategorized on 06/12/09

She was so beautiful.
She was always there when I needed her.
Helped me every day.
She helped me to carry my heavy loads.
Protected my loved ones.
She kept me warm and safe.
Allowed the sun to shine into my life.
She entertained the kids.
Never let me down.
Got me through some turbulent weather.
Safely guided me home.
She never let me get lost.

I miss my gorgeous 7 seater Ford Lincoln Navigator with automatic lift tail gate, heated seats, moon roof, built in entertainment system, 20″ spoke chrome aluminium wheels and GPS.
Sigh.
If you’re going to survive life in the suburbs, a ridiculously small 2 door just won’t do.

**This ridiculous little 2 door sports car is going back..hunt for a new SUV is on!

      You crack me up!! When I saw the title I got nervous that you lost a loved one (which I know you did. A comfy car is a must have for moms)

      And your “Confessions” post was too funny!!!!!!!!!!

      I would be lost without my 7 seat minivan that is our camping/skiing/sports mobile. I hope you find a nice SUV.

      I love SUV’s. I would be grieving, too, if I’ll have to give that up. Glad to know that you’re getting another one!

      I dream of having a smaller car…but I also have to fit at least 7 bodies in all the time….more if I could.
      Good luck, Suz

      Oh dear..perhaps I should have added that the ridiculous 2 door is going back..hunt for a new SUV is on!!

    11. Me says

      a small 2 door is definitely a super downgrade. I would be grieving as well. My sympathy.

      But just think of how much money you’ll save in gas!

      I miss my Expedition, too!
      We had 4 in 13 years and they kept us safe. We had to say goodbye this Feb….Now since the big kids are older and we were downsizing, we drive around dh’s Infiniti…
      But it truly is nothing like our Expedition..

And then there’s @loviamykonos. 🤍

Looking for a hotel in Mykonos? This one has stunning views, the warmest staff, dreamy boutique-style surrounding and an unmatched location.

There were so many moments sitting on our terrace, looking out over the Aegean, we’d look at each other and say, “Can you believe we’re here! That this is real!” 💕
Lovia, you were pure magic. ✨
We left a little piece of our hearts there. 🇬🇷🤍

    Throw back and a little travel inspo….

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom 

I promise - once you try #HomeExchange you will never look at travel the same way again! Follow the link in my bio for all the deets. ❤️

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
