The Checklist: Packing Light with Lo & Sons
When we travel we always try to pack light. Between my husband, son, and myself, we usually pack in one suitcase and a small carry on. On our latest trip, to Canada, we were without a place to do laundry for most of it, so we decided to pack in two suitcases this time. The truth...

City Stories: New Orleans
There’s something about spending time in New Orleans… I wander the streets, just taking it all in. I love how antiquated it is, how real it feels. We try to get down there, from our home in Mississippi, a few times a year, which is never long enough. On this visit, we stayed at The...
