I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again – these are the only blog posts that matter on this entire freakin site! Burn the blog to the ground, but spare the dog posts! While exploring Sweden recently (for the very first time) I got the chance to meet some gorgeous dogs, and when I say … Read more
I travel a lot. A lot! Which means I’m always on the lookout for good quality luggage that can pack all my stuff in it, be versatile and reliable and still look good too.

My usual deal is to share my adventures with you guys after I’ve visited somewhere.

Well, since last week’s big announcement things have been full steam ahead for Matt and I. It has been a busy week as we’ve been packing things up and moving to the new house slowly. Do you remember the last time you moved? I always forget how tedious moving is. There are so many little … Read more
The festive season is upon us yet again! Hot dog, that snuck up quick. I love how Christmas gives people unspoken permission to relax, indulge and enjoy themselves a little more than usual.
