How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

A Beautiful Summer

in Uncategorized on 08/30/14

This weekend we celebrate the very last weekend of the shortest summer ever?  There’s been too much rain and perhaps not enough sunshine; but we’ve managed to balance it all out with time with friends, some quiet nights, and a few glorious weekend escapes.

BeachBound

I’m not ready for summer to be over, but I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Hope you all had a beautiful summer.

See you in September!  MWAH!   xoxo

      Rain is never fun unless you can just chill out with a good book and cup of tea and listen to the sound on the windows

        You make rain sound good!

      This summer passed by way too quickly. Not as warm as I had hoped it would be.. I do love the beauty of fall & look forward to that season too.

        Hoping we have the warmest of fall weather to make up for the rather dreary summer 🙂

          I will confess.. I love that Indian summer and enjoy it better then summer summer because the kids are in school 🙂

      Glad to hear you and the fam had a wonderful summer! I am in such disbelief that is is ‘over’ as far as it being BTS time… IT slipped away from me and I didn’t even see it somehow 🙂 I am still keeping my fingers crossed for a little Indian summer to come our way!

      • Stephanie says

        I think I’m a little bit in shock that summer is actually over! Perhaps we need ice cream to cry in “)

      Our weather has actually been pretty good this summer, but it’s still way too short!

      • Stephanie says

        September 2, 2014 at 11:34 pm

        One more month of summer would be kind of perfect 🙂

      • Stephanie says

        September 2, 2014 at 11:34 pm

        Sounds like you had the perfect summer, despite the weather! 🙂 Yay!

      We had a great summer hanging out at our trailer in Grand Bend and plan to enjoy the fall there too!

      • Stephanie says

        September 2, 2014 at 11:33 pm

        Grand Bend is beautiful in the fall!
        We hope to get up there at least one more time before the snow flys.

      This year I call it our super summer, lots of fun for the kids, new adventures, new places and I was everywhere with them. Now back to school and my little one is starting JK 😉 Have a wonderful long weekend!

      • Stephanie says

        September 2, 2014 at 11:33 pm

        It sounds like you had a wonderful summer! The busier you are, the faster it goes by. 🙁
        Hope you had a wonderful summer and good luck with JK!

      I wish the summer was longer!!! 🙁

      • Stephanie says

        September 2, 2014 at 11:30 pm

        Wouldn’t it be great if summer was one month longer?

      I had a good summer and I’m looking forward to the Fall but I want Thanksgiving and Christmas to hold for awhile!!!! I agree with you….quickest summer ever. Enjoy the weekend!

        September 2, 2014 at 11:29 pm

        We just dealt with the first day of school today, is it wrong that I’m already doing a count down to Christmas 🙂

        • Deborah Pucci says

          September 3, 2014 at 10:32 am

          If it makes you happy than it is not wrong. I am no where near ready to think about Christmas but have already bought most of this years Hallmark ornaments that I collect but haven’t even had the desire to post them yet!!!

Lovia, you were pure magic. ✨
We left a little piece of our hearts there. 🇬🇷🤍

    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!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
