simple sustainable swaps
As I continue on my journey for balance, I’m trying to be more aware of my impact on the environment.

Packing for Vancouver | Outfits and Activities
I’m headed out for Vancouver! Jake and I are once again off to some more traveling – this time in Canada. Vancouver randomly popped into our heads a while back as a place to visit because it has lot to offer – a big city, shopping, the ocean, mountains. We’re really into adventures and exploring when on vacation, as opposed to touristy stuff – though I love at least seeing the touristy stuff when visiting. We planned to take a longer trip than some of our previous trips, a full six days, so packing proved a bit more challenging this time. Outfits This vacation is the longest we’ve ever taken…
