How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Ready To Find My Ochi!

in Travel on 05/29/15

Grocery lists.

Laundry.

Calendar.

Homework.

Carpool.

It’s my life and I do adore it, but I’m leaving it all behind!

I’ve helped to get the Hubby organized, even though he’s a little bit sad to he couldn’t say yes to this invite come with, and by the end of the week I hope to have found my inner Ochi.

I will be searching for my groove at the official Grand Opening of Sandals Ochi.

Following a multi-million dollar renovation this resort has been completely transformed.  Previously known as Sandals Grande Riviera, the new Sandals Ochi Beach Club has a fresh, modern trendy new look and feel I can’t wait to explore.  Yes my friends, I’m excited to announce that by the end of the day I will be sipping frozen cocktails and Red Stripe, trying out some authentic Jerk Chicken, and applying  a little aloe to my pink nose in the stunning heat of Jamaica.  I’m joining a small group of writers to explore, taste, experience and document all that this gorgeous resort has to offer, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Five days of sunshine, sailing, kayaking, pure pampering and sunbathing?  I’d be lying if I did’t say I was excited about this one.

Think it’s too early to pick out my chaise around the pool?

Be sure to follow all the fun as I spill the beans on twitter @SassyModernMom using the hashtag #SandalsOchi .

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. 🇬🇷🤍

    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.
