How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Girls Weekend

in Lifestyle on 08/10/09


We sat in the sun.
We walked and we talked.
We ate so many great little snacks there was no discussion of dinner.
It was dark before we even looked at our watches.
We laughed until we cried.
We talked of struggles, and love and children.
Of hopes and dreams.
We relaxed and grew closer.
No one cared what we were wearing, or who weighed what.

I drove home by myself and enjoyed the quiet.

I came back to the chaos, and loved that too.

Girlfriends.
Everyone needs a couple of great girlfriends.

Don’t forget to enter my Giveaway! It ends Tuesday!

    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.
