Recently, I have had two conversations with two different people. The first conversation, a month or so ago, was with my mom. “Why don’t you do an intro to business travel thing on your blog?” she said. Then, more recently, I was asked what my best tips are for making travel easier. With that, the…

Fifteen Minute Hotel Room Workout
Sunday night Home Warrior and I went over to his brother’s house to watch the Cowboys game. At some point, I started paging through my sister-in-law’s August copy of Real Simple. I have to say, I love Real Simple. Not only do they include cute, affordable clothes (often that are great for traveling), in this…
The Latest Threat to Airport Security? Almond Butter.
Recently, some close friends visited California. One of the stops they made was the Blue Diamond Almond Company in Sacramento, where they picked up some almond butter. My friend H was very excited about this souvenir, and couldn’t wait to take it back to Texas and enjoy it. Being followers of this blog, and frequent…
What To Wear To the Airport: Sweaters!!

Quick Packing Tip: Pack Your Shoes in Plastic Grocery Bags
Normally, I HATE plastic grocery bags. I would rather awkwardly carry a bag of dog food, two gallons of milk, and a handful of cans, and struggle out to my car than use plastic bags. I have been known to drop packages of butter in my purse. But there are a couple of instances when…

Fall Is (Almost) Here! And So Is Another Great Bag for Travel
Happy 90210 day! Cheesy, yes, but funny too, especially for those of us who watched the show growing up and fondly remember conversations with classmates about how “real” it was. Ah, junior high. It is officially September, and fall is just a few short weeks away. I keep hoping the 100+ degree heat we are…
