Summer is around the corner and I know travel is on everyone’s radar. I keep thinking about our incredible Regent Seven Seas Cruise through the North and Baltic Seas we did in June 2023—it was truly a trip to remember! You can read more about our full itinerary and experience here. I get asked about packing lists a lot so today, I’m sharing what to pack for a Northern European cruise.

Happy Hump Day! I am still trying to get out of vacation mode. Pete and I traveled the majority of the month of May, so it may take a while for us to get back into the swing of things.

Not only that, I’ll show you how I styled everything in my suitcase.

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of going to San Miguel de Allende on a couples trip for my birthday. We had a marvelous time! In case you missed the details of the trip, read HERE.
