How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Last Days Of Summer ~ $300 Giveaway!

in Lifestyle, Uncategorized on 08/24/15

*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!

Are you still hoping to squeak in a little more fun this summer?  To help Canadians take advantage of every last sunny day I’ve teamed up with Stayfree to bring you this incredible Summer Travel Giveaway!  This prize pack contains all the essentials you will need for relaxation: a Kobo reader, Kobo case, weekend tote, 2 packages of Stayfree, 1 package of Carefree, a tea infuser and a $50 pre-paid Visa gift card.  An average retail value of $300.00!  Hurray!

      Summer never ends for me. I find my fun wherever I go! Reading is my 4 seasonal pastime. I try and keep a tan year round and its fun to me to take a drive to visit places all year round. I blonde my hair to give me that summer feeling longer. FUN! WOW.

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. 🇬🇷🤍

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

    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.
