Overboard

One of my all-time favorite movies is Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Curt Russel! .. and it's no secrete i LOVE being on the water and living on the water! .. i've said to myself when it's time to start a family, i want to live ON the beach .. and well come to think about it, i wouldn't mind one bit, living on a yacht! (well who would, right?!)
English yacht designers Dickie Bannenberg and Simon Rowell created stylish, contemporary interiors for Illusion, a client’s 166-foot Feadship yacht docked in St. Martin.

thank god for dreams! - b/c i will be dreaming about this for some time now!

i can only imagine the view this bedroom has!

just WOW!

i can just imagine having my kids run up and down this hallway = makes my heart smile!

this is where i'd eat EVERY single meal!

This weekend i'm heading down the shore to work on the boat, The Alaby ... so if you're a boater in Jersey and see The Alaby, give me a wave, it's ME on there !!!! - in addition i'm sure i'll be hitting up HomeGoods (in Manahawkin) and the new TJMaxx that opened (*ekk so excited*) up right by me (Forked River), stroll around LBI, and then see my Niece in her first dance recital on Sunday  ..

WHAT'S YOUR PLANS THIS WEEKEND?

    So funny, I just recently had a convo about Overboard and my friend said how it was her favorite movie growing up too. I think it was recently on TV this week, right?

    This yacht is positively dreamy!!! What I'd do for that baby! :)

    Have fun this weekend. Sounds like it'll be amazing!

    First of all, I'm so jealous of your work wardrobe! I'd give anything to be able to wear juicy sweats to work in the winter!

    Secondly, these yachts look incredible. I'd be super happy living on them too! Have a great weekend on the water! I'll be hanging out with girlfriends and going to a baby shower.

    At some point in my life with my sailor husband, we will live on a boat ... or at least he hopes so. He races in Kingston, Ont here but we are the market for one we can take for weekends from Lake Ontario.

    That boat is GORgeous, I'll have to show him.
