• Packing and Moving and Dreaming of Alaska

  Last week was spent with a whirlwind trip to Chicago to house-hunt (success!) and this week will be spent in a whirlwind of sorting and packing (two of my least favorite activities).

• Wanderlust & Adventures Ahead

  This past weekend while visiting the lovely Pleasanton Goods in Paris, Kentucky for my cousin’s baby shower, my eye caught sight of a beautiful magazine. I was instantly drawn in by a single caption on the cover. Wander.  Defined as to “walk or move in a leisurely, casual, or aimless way,” wander is one of…
