December 18, 2017 No Comments

I worked on this blog post all day yesterday, trying to recall some holiday traditions that I celebrate with family. It’s easy to say that we have traditions, but since my family is spread out not only by miles but by states, the idea of holiday traditions is taking on a new meaning for me. Holidays are more than just being able to take days off from work, and holiday traditions are more than just having your picture made with Santa or sending out Christmas cards or always wearing matching pajamas with your family on Christmas morning.

And you want to know the exciting part of seeing this email each season? […]

Links I Love: November

With the Thanksgiving holiday less than a week away, I decided to post the “links I love” a week earlier this month because I wanted to share some links I’m loving this month, from secrets to packing and holiday traditions to travel alerts/warnings to First up is “The Secret to Packing for Thanksgiving”, from Damsel in Dior, a.k.a. Jacey Dupree. Thanksgiving provides people with the opportunity to take an extra long weekend trip and if you’re like me, you tend to overpack or pack unnecessary items that you end up not wearing or using. Jacey put together a great list […]
