How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

There are Fairies in the Suburbs!

in Uncategorized on 04/23/09


The Dish Fairy came today.
The Laundry Fairy too.
The Vacuuming Fairy is scheduled for later this afternoon.
The Mopping Fairy will follow.
The Dusting Fairy is always here.
The De-Cluttering Fairy never gets a break.
The Lunch Making Fairy loves hot lunch Wednesdays…otherwise she is on duty.
The Toilet Paper Replacing Fairy is always close at hand.
The Coffee Buying Fairy is essential.
The Garbage Collecting Fairy is truly magic.
The Bathroom Cleaning Fairy hates her job but does it anyway.
The Kitchen Counter Cleaning Fairy can’t keep up.
The Fish Bowl Cleaning Fairy is fairly new and wonders how she got here?
The Shoe Straightening, Front Hall Tidying, Bench Cleaning Fairy will never win.
The Bed Changing Fairy, strangely, doesn’t mind her job.
The Carpool Fairy.
The Homework Helping Fairy.
The Grocery Shopping Fairy
There are too many to list!

Maybe I should thank them.
No!
In the Suburbs, no one ever thanks a fairy.

      Fairies are always needed but never appreciated, except by other fairies.

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. 🇬🇷🤍

    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.
