Three Things: The Suitcase Edition

Over the past week, both Wren and I have taken mini-vacations. The packing of a suitcase in preparation is somehow both a mundane chore to tick off the list and an exciting preview of the trip ahead (unless you’re one of those people who wait until the last minute to pack: then it’s usually a stressful whirlwind). Let’s pack a suitcase or two in our writing this week, shall we?
