How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Enough Already

in Uncategorized on 10/16/12

Dark and dreary is just not my thing. 

A rainy drive on the afternoon carpool is in no way romantic. 

Doesn’t it seem when it’s grey and dingy, children are louder!?   RainyStreet

Getting them home is no better, it’s not like you can set them loose in the backyard. 

Look at it out there!!  Blech.  It’s been days of this!

 WetBackyard                                                     The one and only saving grace from the dark and dreary, the colour from the trees.

Mother Nature is truly amazing. 

DrippingTree

Want to know a secret, even the power of that colour isn’t going to stop me from checking out all the flights heading south today!  I can’t wait to escape the cold and it’s only October!! 

Oh good grief, how many days until summer?   This might be the longest winter yet. 

I hope wherever you are, you have sunshine.

      Over where I am, we’ve been fortunate to have bright and surprisingly mild whether. But I agree, rain makes everything dreary (and makes kids louder!)

      We have gotten nothing here but rain, rain, rain. The leaves are gorgeous though, as is your playhouse (gigantic – can we borrow that?)

    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

    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.
