How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I Saved A Life Today. Kinda.

in Uncategorized on 07/22/12

A teeny tiny baby bird!

She fell out of her nest and was just lying there in the unbelievable heat!  I might have panicked a little at the site of that poor bird!  I started barking orders at my girls, and the hilarity ensued.  I was pooped on (ungrateful creature).  My oldest daughter might have screamed a little  when the Mama bird swooped at us, and my youngest….well she just took some pictures.

Good deed of the week, complete.

Good karma, intact. 

Good shirt, in the wash.

      Wow, that’s great. Last year a hummingbird flew in the house and after it panicked for a while (and me too), I managed to trap her in a hat and release her. Felt good.

    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.
