How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

California Girls!

in Travel on 09/14/17

Hurray for Hollywood….dah dah dah dah Hollywood.

Palm trees, sunny skies, bright lights and the land of movie stars.

Yup, I’m packing my bags, singing a song, and headed for LA Baby.  I’m waaayyy over packed.  This is what happens when you have a crazy week, you pack all the things.  But I must be prepared!  My youngest and I are headed out on a wee adventure, we will be taking in as many sites as we can, doing all the touristy things AND celebrating that sweet girls 16th Birthday in style.  Woot!  This is my kind of Birthday celebration.  Big plans…we have BIG PLANS!

Here’s a sneak peek of the pool at our fabulous hotel.  Must not forget to pack the bathing suit!

Be sure to follow all the fun as we check into the simply gorgeous Kimpton Hotel Wilshire Hotel , said to be a little slice of heaven along L.A.’s Miracle Mile, and find all the fun this city has to offer.  ( I promise there will be lots of posting along the way!) As always you can find me on Twitter at @SassyModernMom, on Instagram here and Facebook here.

Take care of each other while I’m gone!

Mwah!

      I love the idea of just picking a place – maybe based on a seat sale? – and just up and going! Sigh. Office work!

    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.
