Well, I’ve been home from my happy place for a week now. And while I can’t say I’m 100% mentally back, I think I’m ready to start blogging again. I’ve had this weird bloggy block since I’ve been home, and given that also turned right around and flew right to San Francisco for work, I feel sort of drained. I don’t know, it seems like life is sucking the funny out of me right now.
So, instead of words, let’s try some pictures instead!
All of these were taken with my iPhone, which should give you an idea of how much raw and natural beauty lies within the islands. It never fails to take my breath away:
And if you follow me on Instagram (littlehenhouse) you may have seen these already, but I had to share them with the rest of you because we pretty much had the best time ever:
- I am totally in love with this little coffee mug, but Dr. Mom wouldn’t let me take it home. It remains in the cupboard, awaiting my return.
- Emma got to sleep with me every night, which is pretty much her dream come true. Do any of you actually sleep when your child is in bed with you? Because, seriously.
- The leaves had already changed, and maybe it’s just because I live in Southern California, but I could not stop taking pictures of them. Be-au-ti-ful.
- We went to the Farmer’s Market, which seriously looks like something out of a movie set.
- I had to get a shot of my favorite farmhouse on the island. LOVE!
- We had more than a few cozy fires.
- My kids are officially addicted to the local pears and apples.
- There was fresh crab. Yum to the max.
- This is my second favorite farmhouse. Can you tell I have a thing for farms yet?
- We celebrated Halloween. *cackle*
- Super Girl!
- And then there were the long car rides. And oh boy, did they feel loooooong.
Tomorrow I’ll tell you a little bit about the shopping. Just because there isn’t an Anthropologie or J Crew on the island, doesn’t mean there is a shortage of beautiful things to covet. Next time I’m leaving my credit card at home.

Your coffee mug caption slayed me, because I was absolutely going to say I hope you took it home. So cute.
It looks lovely and so peaceful!

I have a thing for cute coffee cups and OMG! that cup is covetous. That may sound extreme, but it's cute
And no, I don't sleep when the babes come in and crash with us. Their little feet someone always end up on the side of my face, and I have woken up more than once to Phinneas's diapered butt curled into the crook of my neck.
Were you up in Puget Sound? That's my dream home area
Oregon is very similar (at least in the Valley) but boy is it pretty darn amazing there.

I love the Islands. Until this year, my parents had a vacation place on San Juan Island. I go often enough and am suffering a little regret looking at your pictures!

Absolutely beautiful! I have to say being on the east coast I've NEVER thought about Washington for a vacation spot, but I think my hubby and I will definitely have to give that some serious consideration!
