As a fly-by-the-seat of-my-pants kind of girl for most of my life, this is pretty revolutionary to admit. But after over a decade of helping other women pack, I’ve developed […]

After years of planning and waiting, our trip to Scotland is finally here. (It was originally scheduled for the summer of 2020).
