How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Sometimes It’s The Little Things

in Everyday on 06/29/12

Today is the first day of Summer Vacation.   

I have a list a mile long of things I really should be doing.  Laundry, dishes, painting, gardening, groceries, bills.  You know all the thankless tasks that just keep repeating and repeating.  Am I going to do them?  Nope.  Not a single one. 

The plan for today is to rejoice; swim in the crystal blue pool,  jump on the trampoline until our legs are tired, eat popsicles until our fingers are sticky, dance to music that is too loud, read books under our favourite tree, and tune out the world. 

Today I will count my blessings, kick back and listen to the giggles, let go of the stress, forget about the outside world, live in the moment and just be thankful for every little thing.

Bring on the summer….we’re ready!

      Have a great summer! You could make it even better with one of these, a portable BBQ and cooler combo. Picnic anywhere! Get one for SHOP.CA, free shipping. http://go.clickmeter.com/portbbq/

      Summer just doesn’t feel like summer here because there’s no pool. I miss it so much – I grew up by the pool.

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.
