Links I Love Week 15: Year 2026
Links I Love Week 15
This weekend, we attended our first Cubs game of the year. It was exciting (11 innings) and freezing. A fun way to welcome spring in Chicago. It is my birthday coming up on Monday and my husband’s is a few days before mine. We are very lucky to celebrate together.
A Sale in The Print Shop
To kick off my birthday celebration, I always do a sale in The Print Shop. This year, I am offering 20% off everything for 2 days. Use the code BIRTHDAY at checkout. This includes guides and Paris Every Day. Please note that orders will ship the week of April 20th.
Digital downloads will have instant access. The Spring Itineraries are up to date and include Left Bank and Right Bank. I will update The Paris Guide for 2026 after this latest trip to Paris. If you choose to purchase during the sale, I will send you the updated version once it is complete.
The celebration continues this week in Paris. I am headed for work, and my husband will meet me for the weekend.
