How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Last Days Of Summer ~ $300 Giveaway!

*The following giveaway is open to Canada only

I once read, you only get 18 summers with your children…. I intend to make the very most of every single one of them.

At the beginning of each summer I sit down with my SassyHubby and we create a master plan.  Seriously, we really do.  This plan?  It’s part dream list and part calendar.  Trying to squeeze in as much travel, family time, a few road trips and a couple of beach adventures into the eight glorious weeks of summer.  It can be a crazy juggle, but so worth the trouble.

Some ideas on our “travel bucket list” for this year included; a family trip to the local beach, a far flung trip to the Turks and Caicos, an adventure to a theme park, taking in a good old fashioned fair, a parents only trip to Toronto, and my favourite…. precious time at  a cottage on a quiet lake.  

We may not have checked off all the items on our bucket list just yet, but there are still a couple of weeks left!

As we approach the end of the summer I realize it’s time to get serious, we still have things to do and the dreaded Fall season will be hear before we know it.  I’m doing everything I can to take advantage of the sunshine, the warm weather and cram in the fun before the days get shorter, the nights turn cool and school is back in session.  I see one last trip to the beach in our future, and definitely more time with family and friends.  We’re still looking forward to those end of summer fairs, and I wouldn’t say no to another spontaneous getaway with my SassyHubby!
