Back To Madison

After leaving the Green Bay area, we made our way to Madison…again! But this time it was more business than fun. Thankfully our kind of business is pretty fun. ;)

We stayed with Justin’s gorgeous cousin and her husband and son, enjoyed some homecooked meals in the evenings and several trips to Madison farmer’s markets. It was so incredibly kind of them to open their home to us over the weekend, and I know Justin especially was really grateful for the time spent with them.

I was also able to sneak in a bit of hooping with Denise and her family. I loved it! Being able to ask questions and even answer a few, and just have fun. I can’t wait to find more of these.

We “commuted” during the day to Jennifer and Mark’s home not far away to do some work with them. I had the honor of initiating a brand new dready mama! Jennifer’s long beautiful locks had already been started, so we spent a few hours tightening up the existing and finishing up the rest of her head. Isn’t she just gorgeous with dreads? I can’t wait to see them take shape over the next few months.

Perhaps the most fun was seeing and working on their very own 1982 Winnebago Brave! Look familiar?? Yup, that would be Benny’s big bro, sitting a little longer and with a much different layout. Justin really enjoyed doing repairs, comparing vintage quirks and getting Mark started on the rest of the refurbishing process.

Mark is a baker and they are looking to start a unique and inspiring mobile venture across the US with their four children. I’m super excited to see how their family’s journey unfolds! Hopefully they’ll be starting that blog soon. Hint hint. ;)

Thank you both and good luck to you guys!

Loving What We Do

Work From Home

Justin and I have such a wide diversity of interests, things we do for fun or for the challenge; things we do for ourselves and to make a difference for others.

We discovered several years ago that when you actively follow your interests, things like money never become an issue. Sometimes we don’t even know how, but things just take care of themselves. This doesn’t mean we haven’t struggled. And it certainly doesn’t mean we have an abundance of money to spend. But our needs are met and we love what we do during the process. I couldn’t ask for a better “working” experience!

Last week we had the honor of “consulting” with several women. One women talked with Justin about searching for, inspecting and purchasing a vintage Winnebago. The other hired me to help her setup and secure her blog. In addition to that I also helped a friend design a new advertising button (you can see it on my blog – Caracol Inspired Jewelry!).

All of these things are things we love to do! Justin is passionate about RV’s, especially vintage rigs. And I love the challenge of web design, even though I’m far from being an expert. Neither are things we would have ever thought to place on our services page, but when asked we excitedly accepted.

Traveling full-time and working in such an unconventional job seemed so daunting before we got out here. I’ve always been an entrepreneur, but this is a whole different ballgame for me and it’s completely new to Justin. And we’re totally loving the experience!

We’ve been reading a lot about “unjobbing”. I hope to post a few reviews of the books and our thoughts on it all. In the meantime we’re spending our time in Wisconsin with Justin’s family and some new friends. Squeaky cheese, anyone?

Are you doing what you love?
