How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Ultimate Blog Party! Woot!

in Lifestyle on 04/13/12

Hello!  If this is your first time here a big fat welcome to you! 

I’m Stephanie, SassyModernMom and am jumping into my very first Ultimate Blog Party!  What a great way to connect with some other fabulous bloggers, find some new reads and have a chance to win some great prizes too!

A little bit about me.  I’m a married Mama of two, live in Ontario Canada and blog about what really goes on behind the closed and often competitive doors of the suburbs.  I do my very best to tell it like it really is.  Should I mention that many of my in real life friends don’t even know I blog?  Yep, this way I can REALLY tell it like it is!  The good, the bad and the embarrassing.  I also throw in the odd giveaway!  I have a passion for self portraits, coffee, popcorn, all things family, true friendship and have been bitten by the travel bug.

My latest venture is as the Social Media Liaison for MiracleMoms.  Along with the Children’s Miracle Network and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, we have put together a team of ten bloggers from across Canada and the United States to help tell the stories of incredible families who’s lives have been touched by the need to use their services.  I am honoured and humbled to be involved.  I hope all of you will tune in at the beginning of May and follow our #MiracleMoms hashtag as we try and make a difference in the lives of some very special children. 

Please follow me here at How To Survive Life In The Suburbs, join me on my Facebook page and give me a shout out on twitter.  Best of luck to those hoping to win that $75.00 Starbucks Gift Card from the UBP!

Oh and if you are Canadian…my $150 Gerber Graduates giveaway was just posted yesterday, hop on over and enter!

Bye for now!

      Hey pretty lady. Your first UBP? Wow! My very first was the month after I first started blogging 2 years ago. I debated doing it again this year but it is just not a good time since I am in a blogging funk. Don’t want people to run away from my boring dead blog. Hope you have a blast though and I may catch you around the live events. I met a lot of great people the 2 years I participated.

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.
