How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

We Made It!

in Uncategorized on 08/31/11

We fought the malls for back to school clothes. Fought the temper of my darling pre-teen size 0 daughter; who was sure there was “not one pair of pants in the entire mall that would fit her perfect body.”  Fought the car that did not want to contain a cat, a dog, two kids and all of our crap.  We fought the traffic …..and we won! 

We made it to the beach. 

Yipee

Yippee!

If you don’t hear from me for a while…it’s because I don’t ever want to go home.  Enjoying a couple of days with the babies before the reality of school starts. 

See you in September!

      You brought your cat and dog to the beach; you’re a brave woman. I would have loved being a size 0 when I was a kid but it wasn’t in the cards for me, ever !

      We send our little darlings back to school when summer is at its peak, 115 degrees in mid August. They start them early in Arizona because heaven forbid they attend past Memorial Day.

    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.
