I meant to post this last week but life happens and lack of internet happens more often then it should. So here it is… Hello from Amsterdam Today I was reminded of the importance of smart packing.

This time of the year is so magical. Stores get a complete makeover, streets that are usually grungy are now sprinkled with twinkling lights and spirits are just a little higher than normal.
