“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” — Maya Angelou
Bought Spud a Halloween costume and somehow unlocked an alter ego. 😂🎩

It really does feel like winning the lottery when you hear, “The cabin doors are now closed,” and there’s still an empty seat next to you! ✈️🥳
Anyone else get ridiculously excited about this? It seriously made my day!

Now I am obsessivly searching the internet to find some porch light masks of my own. I haven’t found the exact ones, but I’ve found a few that are pretty darn close.
Comment “Mask” and I will dm you a link to the ones I found.

Do you tap the plane before you board? ✈️
Believe it or not, for as much as I fly, I’m actually a nervous flyer. For some reason, my trusty little tap, tap, tap calms my nerves just a bit.
Please tell me I’m not the only one with a pre-flight superstition. 😂

Just a reminder that you can’t please everyone. Apparently, neither can Machu Picchu. 😂

I had the chance to try the grasshopper popsicle at Filoli’s Nightfall… yes, those are real grasshoppers. 😂
And you know what? It was actually pretty good… once you get past the crunch. 😬🦗
Would you try it?

Filoli Nightfall might be one of the coolest Halloween events we’ve experienced. 🎃
We wandered through a mansion being reclaimed by nature, followed glowing trails through the redwoods and discovered a hidden Witches’ Village.
And don’t even get me started on the grasshopper popsicle I tried… and yes, it had a real grasshopper in it! 🦗😆
The entire evening felt spooky, magical and just a little eerie, but it wasn’t too scary for the kids. It was such a fun night and one of those experiences that makes you feel like a kid again.
Filoli Nightfall runs now through November 1. You can find the link in my bio!

I’m officially in my bird era… specifically, my crow era. 🐦⬛
Please tell me I’m not the only one who suddenly finds birds fascinating after 50.

The calendar says fall, but the weather still says summer… so I’m dressing accordingly. ☀️
Which works out perfectly because I just got this new outfit from @ripskirt_hawaii , and I plan on wearing the heck out of it for as long as this warm weather sticks around.
Their whole vibe is travel-inspired clothing made for “living like you’re on vacation.” And really… who doesn’t want a little more of that in their everyday life?

This might be one of my favorite fall DIYs. These succulent Cinderella pumpkins are so easy to make, last all season long, and make a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece.
The best part? There’s no cutting into the pumpkin, and when the season is over, you can replant the succulents and keep enjoying them.
Make one on your own, or grab some friends, pour something festive, and turn it into a fall friends’ night. 🍷🎃
Comment “PUMPKIN” and I’ll DM you the full supply list and step-by-step instructions.

Posting this as a little reminder to myself, and to anyone else who feels like they’re constantly falling behind.
Lately, I’ve been feeling like I should be doing more, accomplishing more, and somehow be further along than I am. (Both personally and professionally) It’s so easy to look around and feel like everyone else has it figured out while you’re still trying to catch up.
Maybe I don’t need to catch up. Maybe I just need to slow down a little, trust where I am, and remember that I’m doing fine. ❤️

We are learning there’s a lot more to walking Spud than just… walking. 😂
Too hot + too far = Spud gets carried home like the 50 pound baby he is.
We knew absolutely nothing about bulldogs when Spud came into our lives, but we’re learning quickly. Apparently, sometimes his walk becomes our workout. 😂
Bulldog owners, what else do we need to know?! #englishbulldog #englishbulldogpuppy #bulldogsofig #bulldogwalks
