How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The One Where I’m All Grateful And Stuff

in Lifestyle, Travel on

I have just returned from a weeks vacation.  A week in cottage country, deep, deep in the woods.  Seven days that I spent unplugged in almost every way.  Almost no television, internet, or cellphone.  This also meant my two dear daughters had to do the unplugged thing. Hubby could only be with us for half the time, so us three… View Post

Dude, Just Move the Deer Crossing Signs!

in Lifestyle on

I am still in the thick of cottage country and loving every single second of it.  When we do venture away from our gorgeous rental we see many “Deer Crossing” signs and even the occasional “Moose Crossing” sign.  Love it!  (err and even my kiddos understand these bright yellow signs indicate drivers are to watch out for the wild life.)… View Post

..and then she left the suburbs behind!

in Lifestyle, Travel on

I’m almost afraid to say it aloud.  We packed our SUV, stuffed it to overflowing actually, left the city behind and boogied up to Cottage Country.  Since we arrived we have had two nearly perfect cottage country days.  Swimming, laughing, fishing, eating, laughing and playing…hard.  We are doing things all families should do, and it feels just so right. I… View Post

I am leaving for a week’s long vacation in three sleeps?  Yes three!  This should have me jumping up and down with excitement, instead all it has me doing is walking in aimless circles with sweaty palms and a racing heart.  I have SO much to do in the next four days it is almost paralyzing.  Reality is setting in… View Post

I keep thinking at some point soon life has got to slow down!  How can this fast past go, go, go lifestyle keep going 12 months of the year? There has to be a point where the hectic pace of life slows down and a state of near boredom sets in right?  Wrong.  With a Hubby who works a ridiculous… View Post

Blue Mountain In The Summer? You Will Be Shocked.

in Travel on

I am not a skier.  I don’t like, nor do I appreciate the snow and I do not apologise for this.  So when I was invited to attend a Family Blogger Retreat up at Blue Mountain in the dead of summer I thought…meh?  Isn’t Blue Mountain just for ski bunnies and all things associated with that horrible white stuff?  What… View Post

How To Survive The Last Weeks Of Summer In The Suburbs

in Everyday on

I know all the “organized put together Mommy’s” are currently writing about back to school and prep for September.  I am not one of those girls.  My feet are still firmly planted here in August, in the summer, with my head and feet deep in the sand refusing to believe that school is starting in just a few more weeks. … View Post

If Head Shaking Was An Olympic Sport….

in Everyday on

If head shaking was an Olympic Sport, this week I would win the Gold Medal in “Head Shaking”.  It seems I have picked up a nasty old women kind of habit.  I have turned into one hell of a head shaker.  It used to take a lot before I would get my “head shaking on”, but this past week, pft,… View Post
