The last two days of our trip were spent in Iceland, trying to keep our fingers warm since we managed to forget gloves. Who has time to research weather conditions?

And I’m thinking, I should have spent less time being busy and more time planning. Like [...]
We were on the way to the Eiffel Tower when we found ourselves on an RER train that continued to Versailles, the palace of the fallen French monarchy.
In the name of spontaneity, I suggested we stay on the train and see Versailles.
Little did I know that several hours of lines [...]
During our trip to Paris, we were fortunate to stay in a friend’s uniquely stylish, absolutely gorgeous apartment.

After motherhood and writing, traveling is my passion. Never am I more spirited than when I am thrown into an unfamiliar city with a map, a bicycle, a camera, and a notebook.
Combine the three; traveling and writing and motherhood, and I am in bliss.
I am blessed to be blissful in the upcoming month. [...]
