A Finnish family of four (or five, if you count the dog – and we do tend to) designing our dream life, one bucket list item at a time.

How come having your dream life – the one where you can jet off to Paris on a moment’s notice or spend most of your time on a sandy beach somewhere exotic – always seems to require much more money and time off than you actually have? Or not being weighed down by domestic responsibilities like the kids’ school, dental appointments, or bathroom renovations? Can you have a dream life if you have all of that? We think so! It requires a lot of negotiation, creativity, and the C word (compromise), and it may not look exactly what you thought it’d look like in the beginning; but it can be even better! I also show you that even the dream life doesn’t always feel that dreamy, and that’s okay. Follow along the ride!
