One of the issues with international traveling is carrying around a travel adapter and all its various bulky pieces. Enter the Worth the Wait International Travel Adapter from ModCloth. It will convert from US to Europe to UK plugs, simply by toggling the switch. Genius! Only one little thing to pack, instead of multiple little…
This summer, it has been really, really hot in Texas and other parts of the country. This has made getting dressed for work kind of tricky. How do you look professional yet stay cool? How do you walk that fine line between fashionable professional woman and church lady? I have struggled with this since May,…
The Home Warrior and I are taking our first vacation of the year together on Sunday, and are headed to Puerto Rico for a week. To say I am excited is a bit of an understatement. I can’t WAIT. We are staying in San Juan in Condado, and have a number of activities planned. We…
Last week, I was in Chicago for work. Since my meetings were out in the suburbs, I had to rent a car, a Ford Focus. For most of that trip, I was glad to have it. It’s a small car, so fitting into tiny little spaces was much easier than it could have been. Everything…
This may be another one of those things that, like grabbing the seat in front of you, if you don’t fly often you don’t think about it. But after almost every flight I’ve taken over the last few weeks, someone has stopped abruptly, right in front of me, in the middle of the jetbridge (or…

Anyone ever seen one of these? My mom found it in one of her magazines, and it looks so interesting. It is the Zuca Travel Pro Carry-On. The highlights: five removable packing pouches that stack like drawers, a TSA-compliant toiletry bag, and (seriously) a metal frame that doubles as a seat. Crazy! It doesn’t look…
I stayed at a Hilton outside of Boston a couple of weeks ago. It was perfectly fine, although my “balcony” overlooked the indoor pool, and I didn’t have any natural light in my room. That was weird. But they must have gone through some recent remodeling. As I was walking through the underground parking garage,…
During my recent trip to Boston, I neglected to check the weather before I left. So I was wearing my current favorite shoes to wear with black, which happen to be made of cloth. In my black slacks, cami and cardigan, and black and white tweed flats, I looked great! Until I landed, and walked…
