      Oh I missed the last one but I’ll be at the next one. We had a great staycation last fall and acted like tourists at our local zoo and museums. We even had milkshakes by the river after – lots of fun!

      How about house sitting! You get free accommodation, the kids have an awesome time with someone else’s pets, and if you live in a big enough city, or near one, you will more than likely find one close to home 🙂

      A staycation is just what I need to break out of the winter blues.

      Have fun at the chat tonight! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join in tonight as I’ll be at my older daughter’s school musical.

      Staycations are great ways to get to know your own community.

      I need winter to move along!! A vacation to some place warm and sunny is more then needed at this point.

      Can’t wait for another twitter party! I wouldn’t mind going away somewhere, this warming weather is wrecking havoc and kick starting my spring allergies.

      Speaking of family travel, it’s not much but we are taking the boys to a hotel with a pool in Vermont today. They have no idea. They will be very surprised! 🙂

    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.
