The first thing I packed for our trip this week (snacks don’t count – those were obviously first) were some new home books for the plane. Whether you’re looking for a little bit of education, a good read or just a stunner to flip through on your coffee table, I put together a list of […]

We are not planners. I’m not kidding – We booked flights to Iceland once and our only real planning was to bring one of those old school fold up road maps of the entire country incase we lost GPS signal. We didn’t even book our lodging until a few days before we left. (I know, […]
