i know a trailer mama who is a beginner & didn't read the airstream user manual or watch that safety video or make that check list. so, bambi is staying with her shiny bubbly friends for a few days while mama drinks her way thru napa! & the mechanic is gonna give her a lot of love. bambi, not ma. 💜

it's possible that a light bulb in bambi's bathroom, nearly caused a massive meltdown this evening.

that l.e.d ceiling light is supposed to shine bright, while i shower. it isn't shining bright or really shining at all. so, i attempt to take it out of the aluminum airstream ceiling. which is impossible. i resort to tapping it. then smacking it. i flip the switch up & down & back up.

there is no light.

...

3...2...1...don't have a melt down, don't. this isn't a big deal. a dark shower won't kill you.

yes. it. will.

think, just think. i reach under my sink, where i store my electric lantern. i don't know where normal people store lanterns, but it fits perfectly in that little corner. i've actually never used it. i wear my head lamp when i need light. it makes me feel like i look like i know what i'm doing. but, i really don't. not a clue. on most days, i have no idea how i survive in glamping land.

ohhh, sweet girl...be gentler on you. you're surviving glamping land, in an authentically beautiful way. it's not about the light bulb. it's the lesson behind the light bulb. when your light is out...it is okay. i repeat, it is okay. lights go out, so go grab that lantern. let it be the light for you.

the light will always find you...even when you can't find it. i promise. just breathe, because nothing & no one, has the power to make you melt down. so, do not melt.

enjoy that hot shower, with that warm lantern light & then rest those eyes, darling.

i opened the golden brunette box color from the grocery store & applied it to my hair. i couldn't risk getting hair dye anywhere near bambi. so, i'm sitting on a white wood bench, in the public bathroom, at my trailer villa...waiting for the color to set.

i haven't had a good shave to my legs, since leap day, so i brought my razor too. i actually bought an electric razor for the trailer though, for emergencies. like if i have a date. wink.

fun facts: i did have a date. wink ...wink. my closet holds 55 hangers. i store all my receipts in the oven. i keep my olive oil in the refrigerator for storage purposes & have to heat it under hot water, if i actually use it. and...i absolutely just love sweeping the dirt out the door instead of into a dust pan.

very little is needed to create happiness here. it's the little things that i have learned to love. this life is simple. it is so very sweet. & the aha my darlings, is that the little things...are not little.

your little things, aren't little either.

i've never celebrated me.

i celebrate everyone else though. i've designed baby showers & birthdays that would make you go gaga. every detail had a detail & every corner had confetti. think pinterest plus a girl like me on caffeine. it was madness and those parties were magic.

i'm so glad i live in a world where pink pearl balloons & funfetti cake exist. because today...in this exact way, i am learning to celebrate me. for every tiny little victory on this airstream journey. ...

remember darlings, self-love is the secret to life. however you choose to celebrate you, please....go celebrate you today.

you are more than worthy. 💜

i knew i shouldn't wear my darling dark wash skinny jeans & nude tory burch ballet flats this morning while i was hooking bambi to grand. in napa, california. i was sure i deserved professional trailer queen status & a professional could hook up a trailer without letting a glob of grease get on her.

i lost.

three days prior, i rose with the sunrise to hook her up and take her on our first towing adventure in 35 days. i pulled the red stoppy things from under the tires, then... looked in grand's backup camera & slowly steered the ball to the hitch. my foot tapped that peddle & i did it like i always do.

kaaaa-thunk. oh no. bambi, stoppp!

the ball hit the side of the hitch. it knocked bambi off the block and backwards. she started rolling. there were no red things to stop her & i peed my pants.

we survived that.

30 miles down the road at 55mph, the driver side extension mirror that i had secured...started to shake. the shake turned into a droop and the droop was gonna make that baby drop. i did what any superwoman would do. i watched it droop...for 8 miles.

okay. i unbuckled my seat belt, at a high speed, rolled down the window & reached out for the extension mirror. i unfastened its brackets from top & bottom. i pulled the mirror to safety & it sat on my passenger side seat en route to wine country.

the trucker next to me gave me a toot toot.

i think i won.
