Links I Love Week 26
I am finally home after two weeks of travel from Italy to the South of France and ending in Paris. It was quite the adventure with a family of 7 instead of my usual solo travel. I hit the start of the heat wave in Paris and arrived home back to Chicago earlier this week. I am still getting over jet lag, but enjoying the 4:45 sunrise here in Chicago while I adjust. I have a lot of photos to edit and blog posts to catch up on but I am trying to not put too much pressure on myself for once and just ease back into things slowly.
