We’ve all got that one thing on our bucket list th We’ve all got that one thing on our bucket list that just sits there, waiting for the “right time.” 🚲✨
For me, it was taking my beach cruiser out for a spin on the Anacortes Guemes Channel Trail. It had been sitting in the garage for a year and a half—literally since we moved into this house! It actually took a moving truck parked in the driveway to finally motivate me to get out there.
And wow... why on earth did I wait so long?! 🎶🌊
A smooth, paved path right along the water, tunes pumping from my JBL speaker in the basket, and that crisp ocean breeze—it felt like my own mini beach-cruising paradise right here in the PNW.
Consider this your sign: pull out that list this week and check off something fun you’ve been putting off. Life moves fast and time’s a-wastin’!
What’s one fun thing sitting on your list right now? Drop it in the comments below! 👇👇
Do you believe it’s October? It’s Fall y’all so to Do you believe it’s October? It’s Fall y’all so today I’m sharing some recent pumpkin 🎃 photos I took at Schuh Farms. This farm has in season fresh produce and yummy homemade pies. Have you tried their Brambleberry pie?
As I try to hold on onto long summer seventy degre As I try to hold on onto long summer seventy degree days the weather is not cooperating. There is a chill in the air and I need a coat and my Instagram feed is full of 🎃 Do you love when Fall sets in or are you still wanting to chase summer vibes? 

The farms in Mt Vernon are full of pumpkins these days. So tell me- do you have your doorway decorated with pumpkins already?

Sunsets are the most magical time of the day. There is a something more special about being on the water to enjoy them. This week we are moving out of our Anacortes, WA home and the sooner we get packed up and moved out the sooner we get to take one last boat trip of the year. We are looking forward to creating a life lived with more experiences and embarking on a new journey of endless road trips and boat trips. There is a big beautiful world 🌎 out there to explore. As we grow into midlife age our time seems to become more and more limited. There is so much to see and do! Friends older than us say do it now because in your 80s and 90s things change. The things you do in your 50s aren’t going to be the same when you reach 80. We hope to stay young forever! 

If you are in your 50’s what are your big goals and dreams you wish for?

Do you ever have daydreams of sailing off into the Do you ever have daydreams of sailing off into the sunset? 
Is it just me, or does a 5-minute Instagram scroll on a Monday make buying a Sprinter van or moving onto a boat sound completely reasonable? 🚐⛵️
Currently packing and genuinely wondering: How did we accumulate this much stuff?!
It really makes you pause and think… what are we actually chasing, and how much do we really need to be happy? Less clutter, more living sounds pretty amazing right about now.
Anyone else ever feel the urge to sell it all and simplify? Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you’ve had this exact thought today!
