Last week I wrote the first post for my cousin who is going on a two-month business trip. Quick recap: he will be in the same location, at an extended-stay hotel.

In a few weeks my cousin is leaving for two months of training at a new job. On a personal note, I’m super sad because we hang out all the time. He is one of my husband’s best friends and my baby’s favorite person. All of that aside, I am super excited that he has…
