A Summer Sunday in Ballard

Soaking up the end of this staycation summer and celebrating the Summer Bucket List

As I’ve shared before, I’m usually trying to do too many things. I rarely can comprehend the realities of my own time and energy and I plan lots of things but don’t always plan them *well*. I am working really hard on this as you may have read…. 

Seeking a Different Kind of Productivity

Hello to Here

My One Wild and Precious Life

This quality of mine has historically shown up as the Ryan Family Travel Agent. She wants to go to all the places all the time and completely forgets the limiting factors of jobs, 24-hour days, and limited finances. 

I am slowly accepting that travel is more draining than it used to be – even before adding a tiny human to the mix. We also love where we live! And I’m also really reckoning with the reality that we cannot be in two places at once.  When I choose to go somewhere else, I am choosing to leave this place we love.

Bucket Listing

So we’ve started slowly choosing to stay home more. When considering this summer, I wanted to make the most of our time at home and give our summer true summer vacation vibes without traveling, so I made a Family Summer Bucket List (an excellent idea that was not mine – I copied it from one thousand people on the internet).
