How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Our Mantra

in Everyday on 02/01/12

This sign hangs in my kitchen. 

It serves as a daily reminder of a promise made, and blessings that abound. 

In our marriage, with our family and our closest of friends,

one thing remains certain.  Love….

Forever and Always and no Matter What.

      Dont’ you love it when you find something that seems like a “sign” from elsewhere… like someone knew what you were thinking.

      Anonymous! It is something that has evolved through the years. We have always signed notes to each other Forever and Always….a few years ago a health scare brought the addition of No Matter What.
      When we stumbled across this sign, it had to come home with us:)

    Throw back and a little travel inspo….

    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.
