How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

It’s Been A Year

in Travel on 05/23/12

I can’t believe it has been a year.  One year since I went on the vacation of a lifetime.  One year since I had the most romantic Birthday lunch any girl could ever ask for on the top of the Eiffel Tower.  Le Sigh.

ParisByNightP1000076

Yes, today I turn 41.  Gulp.  Instead of dwelling on that, I will remember all that was Paris.  

Walking hand in hand down century old streets until our feet hurt.

Hot chocolate for breakfast and gourmet dinners.

Laughing until our faces ached, talking until we found that quiet comfortable place, and then practicing our French as only two in love can. Re-discovering life as a couple. Being quiet, being inspired, being awed. It was falling in love all over again.

Paris was more then I could have ever dreamed of.

I’m so grateful for these memories so indulge me as I play my super sappy You Tube video one more time!

Happy Birthday to me! I can’t wait to see what this year holds. 

Mwah!

      Aww Steph, this post brought tears to my eyes. I can’t believe Paris was a year ago for you, either, I remember you blogging about it but it does not that feel that it was ONE YEAR AGO! Happy Birthday, you’re the hottest 41 year old EVER and you make me okay with turning 36 in September! xo

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. 🇬🇷🤍

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.
