What clothing category do you find is the most challenging to shop for? Wait, wait, don’t tell me – let me guess: Is it denim? (It’s probably denim). At least, that’s always the category I struggle with most, and the one I seem to hear the most grumbling about. Jeans are almost always too short, …
Breaking news: I recently found the very first pair of 100% cotton jeans that work for my curvy figure. Up until now, all of my jeans have had some sort of stretch (at least, from my late-middle school years until my thirties – I have no idea what kind of denim my parents purchased for …

In my last post, I shared what we did during our day in New Orleans, and since then I’ve received lots of questions about what it’s like to fly somewhere and back in one day. Even though Summer and its opportunities for extended vacations are approaching, so are the peak rates that many hotels and …
Everything I packed for a long winter road trip through Alabama.
Do you have a warm drink handy? Today I’m sharing my packing list for our recent trip to Europe, and it grew quite lengthy by the end, so please feel free to make something and settle in to read (I won’t say no to a mug of mulled wine, so if that’s what you’re making …
My colleagues were confused when I lamented about packing for Mexico City. “Why?” they asked. “Don’t you just pack shorts, tanks, and sandals?” All of Mexico is not hot, with sunny beaches. In fact, much of the interior of Mexico runs quite cool due to the elevation. Mexico City’s temperature varies little throughout the year, …
