A couple of months ago, I headed into the desert to shoot some images to accompany Sabine's new release cowritten by Darian Zahedi, and I can finally share the song with you.

(Relatively) stress-free day trips with kids are totally possible
As a family, we are very, very bad at staying put. Even when we fly off to some faraway destination together, we have a tendency to hop into our rental car and explore other places – even if it’s only for a few hours here and there. It's partially a desire to really get to know a place beyond what you might "expect" to see - but I think it's mostly just that we really love being in the car together.
