I had another opportunity to work remotely from London by tagging along on my boyfriend’s work trip. I don’t think I’d ever been in the U.K. in the dead of summer and the dry, sunny weather was a game changer! We spent a lot of time walking the streets and soaking in the sun instead […]

Happy Independence Day to my American friends! I spent the long weekend driving from Texas to Michigan to escape the southern heat for a while. Let’s be real…I did this so MY DOG can escape the summer heat. Along the 18 hour drive, we stopped in Hot Springs, Arkansas for 2 nights. We didn’t know […]
