Jack Johnson - From Here to Now to You

Last weekend my husband and I drove the 5 long hours to Chicago to see my favorite singer-songwriter, Jack Johnson, perform. It was.. inhale… amazing. Like, smiling-through-tears amazing. I can’t help but be a bit smitten with this Hawaiian man. He started surfing at age 5 and learned how to play guitar at age 8 and even tho he tours the world, he still seems to maintain that laid back humbleness - truly seeming genuine and decent. And put simply, I love how he sings and what he sings about ...  the tan and flip flops are also a plus ;)

There's no denying that I'm dying to try surfing. I may be a pale, Wisconsin resident, mother of two that has never set foot on a surf board. I may be really REALLY bad at it and it JUST may be at the top of the list for super cliché things to have on your bucket list. BUT. I don't care. I want to surf :) 

And whiiille I'm there, I want to live barefoot, for a week minimum, on the beach, cutting up fresh fruit for my family, lounging on the front porch of a little beach cabin, reading books and magazines. And then when we're rested up again, grab our boards and head back into the water...  Not that I've ever thought about this before... no, nah, never ;)

Anyways, back to the point, here's some surfer-girl inspirations and styles that keep me going.
