Here's my practical guide of travel essentials for anxious dogs to alleviate stress for you and your furry loved one while on the road.

Today I'm my New Years resolution with you with the books I read and what I liked and didn't like about them. I've linked them to Amazon, and you can read them in paperback, on your Kindle, or using the Kindle app on your phone. I'm also asking for your recommendations so I can keep my reading up in 2019.

I had always lived in tropical locations so the idea of cold was very foreign to me, which I think added to my dislike. This year, I have been pushing myself outside of my toasty warm comfort zone to experience actual cold winters. I was wrong - winter trips are cool! Once I learned how to pack, it was a lot of fun so I'm sharing my tips here in this Northern Norway packing guide. I'm sure you will find these tips and products helpful for any winter trip though.
