How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Memories Made At The Beach Last A Lifetime

in Family, Travel on 10/08/14

Math tests and homework hell.  Blisters on little dancers feet.  Migraines that will not quit.  Rain that will not stop.  Sick of buying groceries and answering “What’s for dinner”.  A closet that has collapsed three times, a broken garage door, even a laptop that won’t cooperate.  Just another glamorous week in the suburbs.  I’m not complaining, well, not much, because I’m looking ahead, to all of this….

…..The Social Media On The Sand Conference in the breathtaking Turks and Caicos.  An opportunity to learn at empowering sessions and to teach my girls about Pack For A Purpose.  A week in paradise working, connecting, and paying it forward with a big side bonus; memories made at the beach last a lifetime. 

One week today!!  It really can’t come soon enough!

Is it wrong to be thankful for a beach?

      If you have to drag yourself away from your glamorous life in the suburbs, I am glad you have found a tolerable conference location. 😉

      Wow!

      It really looks amazing!

      The beach cures everything! It is never wrong to be thankful – ever.

      Have fun!

        And I so agree, troubles just wash away at the beach!
