A Texas Girl Exploring the World
I’m back! Things have been super crazy on the non-blog end (there will be a post soon!), but long story short I started a new job and things have been very exciting but very busy! I have a ton of posts lined up, including all of my Portugal posts from our trip last month! I […]
Hello! I’ve got a quick post today, as I’m busy running around and making sure we’re all ready to go tomorrow! We’re only taking carry-on luggage for this trip, and it’s been less of a challenge than I thought it would be! So before take off, I wanted to share with you all my tips on how […]
