How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Life In The Suburbs 2.0

in Everyday on 08/10/17

 

Do you notice anything different here?

Well, of course you do.  My little corner of the suburbs has a brand new look!  Say hello to my little makeover!

So what do you think? Is my new look bigger, wilder, meaner?  No, probably not, but that wasn’t the goal – that wouldn’t be me.  The goal was an updated, refreshed, clean look while hanging on to a little bit of that sass. Don’t you worry, this cleaner, sweeter, style, will still be as truthful and opinionated as ever.

So goodbye to all that pink, and to the little blonde cartoon version of me that has served me so well over the past 8 years.  Eight years! Thank you sweetie, after years of blogging with you at the helm, it was time to let you go and let the new me shine through.  

Hello to new dreams, and new goals.  Hello to new opportunities and some fabulous new ideas!

 I hope you will grab a cup of coffee, take a poke around and stay a while.  Mad love to all of you who’ve been with me since the beginning.  Equal love to all my new readers out there!  It’s always a good day when you stop by for a visit. Oh, and if you don’t have a coffee handy, perhaps you can win one!  Kissing goodbye an old look, ushering in a new one, and well, just because I adore all of you (and coffee) means it’s time for a little giveaway.

One lucky reader of How To Survive Life In The Suburbs 2.0 will WIN a $75.00 Starbucks Gift Card.  You know just because I love you that much.  Entering is easy.  Simply leave me a comment below telling me how long you’ve been reading my blog, then stock up on those extra entries by using the rafflecopter form provided below.

Open to Canada Only.  Ends September 1st, 2017


PS Big Thanks to Krysten of Krizzy Designs for holding my hand throughout this entire process.

Need a new look?  She’s your girl!

    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!
