How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Wasting Time and Designer Dreams!

in Lifestyle on 06/14/12

It’s very late on a Wednesday night and there are truly about 45 things I should be doing.  I mean if I’m not going to sleep I could tackle the mundane house work like I ever do that, there is that dentist and eye appointment to make, end of year Teacher gifts to figure out, Father’s Day plans to be made, or perhaps even some writing?  But what am I doing, wasting away the hours with some virtual shopping and dreaming about clothes I simply can’t afford.

Harmless fun or a new addiction?
What do you think, good for a weekend getaway or maybe even that upcoming trip to New York City?  Oh YES please!

NYC?

Please tell me, how do you waste away the hours?  I need new ways to avoid my “to do” list!

      Wasting time? Me? That would be blogging. Sigh. And I totally love the heels, I just can’t walk in them, or can I? I might just have to try…

      I wish I could wear those shoes! And the bag? Swoon.
      Blogging….it really is my time suck. My life has slowed down so much since I started that….oh, the things I used to get done!

      If I could dress like that I would.
      Go for it!
      How do I avoid the things that need to be done, that’s easy,
      1.start blogging 3 years ago
      2.have a few blogs
      3.then add Facebook+
      4.Pinterest
      and I’m good for 8 hours! Sadly my house is showing my loss after 3 years of neglect!

      Pinterest is my new way of wasting time! I could spend hours creating what I would like my life to look like.

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

    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.
