Wait, but where did this year actually go? Time has a funny way of simultaneously passing at a rapid rate and dragging on forever. Indeed, I had every intention of writing and sharing this post several days ago, but life got in the way and the days simply kept fading. But here we are on …
Wherever you are in the world, no matter how or if you celebrate, we wish you all the best on this Christmas Day. Take time today to enjoy the gifts of life and love with those around you. I’m signing off for the day to be fully present with my family, but I’ll see you …

One of the things I am asked about most often is my Away Carry-On suitcase, which is why I’ve reviewed it twice (most recently here) and shared my packing strategy. Today I’ll be sharing my honest, unbiased opinion of my first accessory purchase from the company: The Insider Packing Cubes. [Update: I’m giving away a …

Wow, it’s been a busy week over here! On Sunday I shared my packing list for Europe (yep, all that went in a carry-on suitcase!), and all week long I’ve shared five travel gift guides: for her, for him, for the littles, for the luxe traveler, and a roundup of budget gifts. This post contains …
