Week 29 Links I Love: Year 2026
Hello from Athens! We are headed home to Chicago. It has been a few full weeks of traveling. While I had some one-on-one time with my husband in Crete the first week, we met up with a large number of my family members in Athens the second week for exploring Greece. The days were filled with sunshine, beaches, history, and good food; the evenings were filled with laughter and card games that kept us up way too late. So many incredible memories I will cherish. I spent a good amount of time offline, and it felt good.
You can see everything I packed for Greece here. More details on the trip are coming soon.
My heart is full and so is my camera roll. The majority of the photos are of family and the kids, which I will hold close. I already have plans to put everything in a book. Artifacts Uprising has always been my go-to for photo books. I just need to narrow down the size and style. There are so many!
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me on the blog for links I love.
