Alaska Airlines’ new First Class Seat? Like a Luxury Car?
As we live in Seattle, Alaska is our hometown airline. Because we give a large proportion of our business to them, we’re also often flying up in the front of the plane quite a bit.

Our Favorite Travel Clothes are On Sale
One of the many things I expect when I travel is to never have to worry about certain menial tasks that invade your day-to-day life at home. One of them is having to worry about laundry, ironing and even matching my clothes so I don’t look ridiculous when I leave home.

The Essential Work from Home Checklist
Here in Seattle, we’re on a work from home mandate until at least May. We’re both so very used to going into the office everyday, but Ben has had an office at home for years. He’s much more used to working from home than I am, so for me, having an essential work from home checklist has been crucial in getting me through the days and weeks.
