This is a GREAT topic for me to write about today! Yup, I’m late getting this post out! I have been running The Location Independent Lifestyle Series blog posts every Monday, and here it is Monday at 5:22 PM and I don’t have my blog post for the day!!! Why? Because I’m feeling unmotivated –…
We’re from Chicago. We’ve both lived there all of our lives – still not sure why!! Between the housing prices, taxes, politicians, and the HORRIBLE weather in winter, I seriously think we were nuts for staying there all these years. Last week they got a foot of snow back home in Chicago, while we were…
Welcome to Part II of The Location Independent Lifestyle Series – Work From Anywhere Jobs! Today we are going to talk about freelancing. If you missed Part I, which talked about avoiding work from home scams, you can read it here. We consciously chose this location independent lifestyle, which obviously means that we love freedom!…
Happy Sunday! I hope you are all having a nice mellow morning. Grab a cup of coffee and relax and enjoy a wrap up of our week! I found this quote sitting on my Pinterest board titled “Quotes I Love” and fell in love with it all over again. I must have pinned it a…
Ahhhhhhh, Autumn. Leaves crunching beneath my feet, and a crisp nip in the air. Campfires and marshmallows and beautiful color.

This campground was weird, and spooky, and weird. But fun! And interesting! Eden Springs Park was a popular zoo and amusement park, founded by The House…
So the last month has been pretty boring as we have been stuck back in Illinois. The good news is that Brian’s Eagle Scout project is turned in to his troop. And now we just have to wait for the Council to contact us for the final meeting. This could take several weeks, so as…
I had no idea that there were Sunflower fields in South Dakota! When Jim and I were discussing which direction to go when we left Illinois a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to go to Colorado to photograph the Sunflower fields, but Jim wanted to go to South Dakota and see The Badlands. So…
We finally broke free of Illinois for a couple of weeks!! Woot!!! So we started heading west and stopped for a couple of nights in Amana, Iowa so we could see the Amana Colonies. The Amana people began in the early 1700’s in Germany by two men, Eberhard L. Gruber and Johann F. Rock, who…
Well, we’re not having a very sexy beginning here. We are camping on the hot (its 92 degrees right now!) black asphalt parking lot at Jim’s work. We did not close on the house as expected on Friday. Something about some child support paperwork that the buyer still needs to get to his bank. In…
