Yesterday was the most relaxing flight experience we’ve had with a kid – no scary taxi cab on crazy NYC highways and I sat across the aisle while Matt and Em did a new sticker book for the one hour flight. My new Toms arrived Tuesday and I really like them (haven’t had a pair of Toms in a while) – they have a slightly metallic gold sheen to them. Emerson literally squealed for ten minutes straight when she first…
Good evening, As I’m sure some of you saw on the Insta, I was fortunate enough to enjoy a kid-free girls weekend to celebrate my sister-in-law! I dropped Emerson off at preschool, and then hopped on a quick flight down to Ft. Lauderdale, FL on Friday. The weather was a tad chilly, but still warm enough for drinks and pool time. We did absolutely nothing but lay on chairs and talk for a couple of hours while we waited for…
Hello! Moving logistics have taken over my life! If you don’t hear from me much over the next couple of weeks, you’ll know why. We had a lovely Thanksgiving break! I took Emerson to her Practically Preschool class, and then she got to skip her nap so that we could get on the subway to go to Penn Station. It was a little frantic at the station, but we used the red cap service in order to board the train…
I’m so excited we’ll be living within driving distance to some mild winter weather! I’m already thinking about a road trip to Charleston or Savannah for a long weekend this year. Here are some other ideas for places I’ve either visited or dreamed about visiting: Key West, FL This was our winter trip last year and it was fabulous. It wasn’t warm enough in February to do a lot of water activities, but it’s such a cool destination and gets…
Hello and happy fall!! It was 60 degrees outside when we went to the park this morning, and quite chilly in comparison to the Texas temps we had this weekend. We traveled to Dallas for a close college friend’s wedding. It was our first time back since moving and made me happy and sad all at the same time. We went straight from the airport to a play date at a friend’s house. She had tacos from the amazing Velvet…
We’re home from Portugal, and it’s been fun reflecting on the trip these past few days. I like planning trips that have two different parts, so we headed to Lisbon after the beach portion of our trip. Although I would have loved to stay at the Pine Cliffs the whole time, we wanted to see some of the sights and experience a bit more Portuguese culture. We stopped in the town of Albufeira on our travel day, and after walking…
Hello! I’m popping in from Portugal to share a few photos from the first half of our trip. We’re staying at the amazing Pine Cliffs resort in the Algarve region, and have been blown away by this property! There were some mixed reviews when we researched, but we have loved everything about the resort. It’s one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever visited and the grounds are immaculate. Plus, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous. Emerson did well on…
Despite hours in the car and boatloads of New York traffic, we had a terrific weekend in Boston. It’s hard to believe we moved from Boston in 2011, and have only been back once! I wish we could have spent a whole week there, visiting the restaurants and our old hood, but we had people to see! We visited friends from grad school up in Winchester on Thursday and Friday, and then friends from Davidson in Boston on Saturday. Both…
Bermuda. Easy to get to from the east coast for a long weekend, and prices are a bit more reasonable in the fall. Plus, hurricanes are slightly less likely than they are in the Caribbean and it’s a fast trip home if one is heading that way. Oh, and it’s gorgeous and a good way to forget that winter is coming. Greenport, Long Island. We took a trip here in the spring, but I’d love to go back in the…
