Originally Hails From:
Tallahassee, FL
Lily has been island-hopping for the last three years aboard her sailboat “Robin Hood” with her husband and tribe of monkeys – three boys ages 8 months, 3, and 5. Thanks to boat repairs, she has done more island living than island hopping for the past two winters, but she’s not about to start complaining! A big believer in teaching old dogs new tricks, she is perpetually trying to learn new things from guitar to skateboarding to various ill-advised water sports. A big photographer, she lugs around her special camera equipment backpack loaded with a GoPro, DJI drone, and Fuji camera, all while snapping hundreds of photos on her iPhone. Follow her adventures in children, beach-hopping, and boating on Instagram @boatsboardsandbabies and on her blog, Explore New Shores.

If Once You Have Slept on An Island
A hundred year old poem that has stood the test of time... If once you have slept on an island You'll never be quite the same: You may look as you looked the day before And go by the same old name, You may bustle about in street and shop You may sit at home and sew,...
There’s a Rat in Mi Kitchen, what am I gonna do?

Link Up Local
Either you are into searching, scouting and finding out new, (yeah, new what??), new everything or you are not. I belong to the first category. For me part of living on a Rock is embracing the style/ways and quirkiness of that Rock. Having moved to a new Rock a year...
