How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Stealing Time For Me – SHOP.CA is OPEN!

in Uncategorized on 07/20/12

Yes, you read that right!! The anticipation has been building for some time, and now I’m excited to be able to announce that SHOP.CA is open!  This calls for more then a celebration, it calls for some good old fashioned retail therapy!  The timing couldn’t be more perfect. It’s funny, I always think I’m going to have all these extra hours to do anything I like in the summer when as it turn out, the complete opposite is true.  With the kids home all summer, which I love, this Mama just doesn’t seem to get one moment to herself!  So today, in a rare moment of quiet I’m stealing some “me time” and getting my Shop on!  Want to see some of my favourite picks??  With 26 product categories it’s hard to narrow it down, but here is the very tip of my list of faves:

First, the shoes.  Yes, I admit it, I have a bit of a problem with shoes, and in the summer I turn to all things wedge! ShopMichaelKorShoe This Vail Wedge by Michael Kors has me digging in my closet trying to figure out how many outfit’s I can make go with these fabulous shoes. See in my head if I can make these wedges work with at least three outfits then I almost have to buy them!

Of course I could skip the shoes and head right to the bags!!  Hello Roots Bags right at my fingertips!  Love the colour of this Selina Bag.

SHOPSelina

So how do I justify the purchase of fab shoes and purses?  Pick up a little something for the Hubby.  (distraction of the man is a key shopping tool)

Perhaps this!!!ShopGarmin

Hello a GPS??  Oh no wait, this is still for me.  Sigh.  I am SO directionally challenged that it really isn’t even funny.  This nüvi 2495LMT works with both voice commands and touch?  Yep, adding this to my list. 

 

Okay so back to Hubby.  I finally did find the perfect thing!

SHOPOasisFire

An Oasis Fire Place!  Good for indoors or outdoors, but can’t you just see this outside on the patio on a beautiful summer night!  Love.  Romantic Hubby and I can sit outside and enjoy some quiet time while the girls entertain themselves…perhaps with some new adorable puppets!

SHOP.CA truly has something for everyone on your list, and my personal wish list is getting pretty long!   So when you find yourself with a moment to spare, do yourself a favour and go and check out all the hot deals, great ideas and just plain good Shopping at SHOP.CA.   You can thank me later! 

Disclosure:  I am part of the SHOP.CA Super Shopper program and I receive special perks as part of my affiliation with this group. The opinions on this blog are my own.

      Love the wedges and the bag! We have been thinking of getting an Fire place for the outside – this Oasis FP looks perfect!

      Those wedge shoes look fun. Perfect for the summer! I recently took advantage of a limited promotion and got $50 back in credit on Shop.ca. Hmm, might pick myself up a pair…

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.
