How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I Had A Bad Day, But APPARENTLY Not As Bad As Hers!

in Everyday on 11/21/12

Everyone is entitled to a bad day.  It happens.  I can admit to being tired, cranky, in pain, frustrated and simply down in the dumps, such is life.  The difference between people is how they handle those days. 

I am no saint.  I have lost my temper; snapped at my kids, cried myself to sleep, stomped my feet, even slammed a door or two.  Not too often, but it has happened.  Major guilt follows immediately afterwards.  Kind of seems the worst of me is reserved for those I love most, my family.  Um, isn’t this what most people do?  Vent, emote and show our true colours to those we truly trust and adore?   

Apparently not. 

Here’s what I would never, ever do: 

Yell at a stranger.

Scream at a child.

Give the finger to a passing motorist.

Stalk a blogger and leave an unmotivated mean or malicious comments on her blog.   

Maybe my skin is just not thick enough but I don’t get it. 

Oh and PS, no one is truly anonymous when commenting on a blog. 

Just so you know.

Hope today is bright and cheerful!

      Why can’t we all be nice?! Sometimes, I can’t believe how mean people can be…I understand we have to be understanding and loving and all, but sometimes, it’s just tiring…Here’s hoping we would hold on to our values and good naturedness, EVENTHOUGH a LOT of others don’t.

      P.S.
      I am also NOT a SAINT:(

      Absolutely agree! I know some “friends” who do that…or used to be friends…and I think it’s horrible. If you have that much time on your hands and you consider that enjoyable, you have a sad life.

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.
