This Week

A little known fact about my job – there are three weeks every year where I’m completely, 1o0% consumed by it thanks to a conference.

This was one of those weeks.  So pressing publish on three posts, while running around like a madwoman, was one hell of a feat.  I am squeezing in some fun time – double dinner dates (one with Julia and her husband, one with SKP-squared), a couple of non-pharmaceutical meetings.

And most importantly, finding a new apartment.  We’re staying in our building, but upgrading our much-loved and overcrowded alcove studio for a proper two-bedroom.  While I’m just a bit sad to part ways with our first home together, I’m excited for more space.  And most importantly, my own bathroom.  We’re ending the week with a restful, computer-less overnight at my parents’ house.  I haven’t seen my mom since November, so I’m excited to hang with her (and eat her incredible food).

We also booked a BIG trip to celebrate our 30th birthdays this summer.  More on that later.  Let’s get to more important things – like the links.

And be sure to sign up for your first Quarterly box AND enter the giveaway!  I’m 100% honest when I say that it will transform the way you pack.  Because how many maxi dresses you need should NOT be the biggest concern for your summer vacations.  Right?  Right.
