How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Basking In The Glow

in Everyday on 12/24/11

It’s almost Christmas Eve.  A night to celebrate all that is special to us in our own unique ways.  For me, for our family, we celebrate by making time for family, exchanging gifts, sharing a meal, a laugh and counting our blessings. 

I try desperately too often in vain to slow down and enjoy each moment, knowing that childhood is fleeting, that time passes too quickly.

For this very reason I must get off this computer and go make some memories!

Today I wish all of you the happiest of the holiday season, a very Merry Christmas and  wishes for a peaceful, healthy and joy filled New Year. 

Thanks for being part of my each and every day!

Hugs from the Suburbs….

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
