• Watch out for increased costs to check baggage - American Airlines just announced theirs, and we suspect other airlines will soon follow.
• This week's recommendations will keep you organized and entertained: Clipa bag hanger (Pam), TooGoodToGo (Laura), and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Andrew).
