“Wow, Cartagena?” People asked Michael and me, over and over again when we told people where we were traveling for our eleventh (dating) anniversary. The truth is, we weren’t really considering international destinations for our trip. Our sights were initially set on Portland, Maine, by first flying to Boston and making the two-hour drive up. …
Of the many, many TSA regulations, the 3-1-1 rule about liquids is one of the most unnecessary, arbitrary rules you’ll encounter while traveling. How much time has been lost while staring at bath and body products the night before a trip, debating if the item in front of us is liquid or a solid? And …
Whoa. It feels a bit like I fell off the face of the earth there. Life has been really hectic lately and I haven’t had as much time for this space as I would have liked. But that’s just how things go sometimes, you know? This post contains affiliate links and I may receive a …
Happy August! I keep seeing this meme everywhere, and it feels very accurate. Things have been busy around our house lately. This weekend alone, we’re packing for our trip to Cartagena, baking a cake for Michael’s sister’s birthday, tackling sewing and household projects, and trying to consolidate some of our office and kitchenware (all in …
We all know that travel (particularly air travel) is terrible for the environment, but in all honesty (and somewhat ironically), the industry isn’t going anywhere.

Happy Saturday! It’s pretty yucky outside today, but even if it weren’t dreary and rainy it would be too hot to go outside anyway. I’m choosing to take this as an excuse to try a new sewing project and to snuggle up with a book (I also would not be against sneaking in a nap …
“Do we fly or do we drive?” Michael and I kept asking each other during the month of June. We’d just made plans to visit friends in their adopted hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, over the July 4th holiday weekend, and with the cost-savings of having a place to stay, we considered flying to save …
It’s Monday, the start of another grueling work week. And I would be willing to bet you airfare that someone will complain to me sometime this week about how expensive travel is. They’re not wrong – travel is expensive. This is why Michael and I, at this point in our lives and careers, have to …
It’s my favorite day of the week! I woke up early this morning and dove right back into my current book for a bit before making coffee and heading to the gym. During the week I set my alarm as late as possible, and I always really enjoy those few quiet moments in bed when …
