How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Toxic Clog

in Uncategorized on 05/05/09

What not to do when your sink explodes!

*Think that one measly bottle of Liquid Plumber is going to fix what is clearly a king size clog.

*Attempt to “help” the Liquid Plumber with the plunger. MMM Vile Back splash.

*Ask Hubby to bring home Industrial Strength Drano from work.

*Supervise as Hubby adds Industrial Strength Drano to science project that used to be your kitchen sink.

*Gather the kids and run like hell when the serene “That means it’s working.” bubbling turns into a fog filled cloud of toxic waste.

*Keep said children occupied outside as you test your lung capacity and hold your breath as long as possible while cranking open every window in the house.

*Panic as Hubby asks you to run water in bathroom because that tingling feeling on his arm is beginning to escalate into an uncomfortable burning sensation.

*Get the man some gloves.

*And a bucket.

*Let the hero drain the pipes himself. Take the kids out. One of you must survive to raise the children!

*Come home hours later to find a Coughing Hubby, clogged sink, oh and a cracked pipe.

*Call the bloody plumber like you should have in the first place.

      Funny post! Plumbing is a nightmare to try and tackle. Impressed that you take a shot at it. I would be dialing the plumber fast, and I would be afraid if my husband got involved. Glad to visit your lovely blog today 🙂

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.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
