It’s been a whole two weeks of back to school now and I’m loving the more predictable routine. More so since this has been an eventful summer for us. We traveled to India to visit family and friends. We were away for about 5 weeks and while the vacation was absolutely fun, it wasn’t without the post-holiday crash and burn that international travel entails. India was, as always, crazy and chaotic in a good way. Every day was enjoyable and… Read more »
