This summer you need to go to your cottage or rent a cottage and have some time away from your everyday life. So I'm sharing why I love taking a break from reality.
My number one thing is to take photos of what you experience and want to remember. Then you can look back on these moments and remember all the great times you had. Up at the cottage there is no instagram, no internet, no wifi so you can really enjoy your time sitting by the water, soaking up the sun.
My cottage is on Lac Achigan which means bass Lake in french. Why bass lake you ask? Well, when you're fishing all there is in the lake to catch is bass and little sunfish of course. I always call it loon lake instead because when you're on the dock suntanning or out on a calm canoe ride loons will pop up out of nowhere and at sunset the loons start calling one another. Lac Achigan is right next to 31 mile lake so the loons call over the other loons making the whole lake echo their calls.
Can you spot anything about Lac Achigan? Maybe the fact that it looks like a mermaid or a lady dancing comes to mind. Cool eh?

A few other things I love doing at the cottage are venturing into the woods, toasting marshmallows at midnight and swimming till my fingers are pruney. There are endless things to do without wifi. The cottage is your getaway so you can destress, relax and enjoy your time with the family. Enjoy every moment.
Take this time to catch up with your family, get lost in conversation. Let the sun set on you while the adults drink some gin and tonics and the kids have fun playing in the wilderness.
The cottage is a nessecity in today's world of being constanlty in front of a screen including me now as I write this. So what I'm trying to say is get your butt off the couch, leave your electronics behind and experience the cottage life.
