-After returning three backpack diaper bags (Skip Hop, Land – aka a million fake versions of this “brand”, and Mina Baie), I ordered the Freshly Picked bag in Birch and think it’s the one!. It’s very similar in size to my Hershel, but looks a little nicer for my daily bag and has more pockets, including exterior water bottle pockets which were a must! Also, you can use the 20% off coupon at Buy Buy Baby which made the price…
Hello from the couch. It’s 87 here in Charlotte and it feels like summer, I’m happy to be home after our trip to Florida; it must be a good sign that I love coming home to my house and my normal life. I’m not gonna lie, this wasn’t our best vacation – Emerson was terribly behaved (maybe due to one of her molars breaking through?), we had a cold front that kept us from the beach, and I still had…
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…
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! 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…
We’re having a blast on our beach trip to Bald Head! We’ve celebrated the birthdays of Matt and America; eaten lots of seafood, chips, and ice cream, and my favorite, slept nine hours a night. …
Our weekend in Southampton was filled with delicious food, laughter, cocktails, and fresh air. Ashley and Bo have been great friends to us since we moved to Brooklyn, so it was fun to do a getaway with them and the babes. Not only do they like food as much as we do, but they like to cook much more than we do, and did a lot of the dirty work:) Highlights of the weekend included… bay breezes, our personal bartender…
Our trip to Key West was not only fun, but actually relaxing. This got me thinking about what made this Florida trip so much better than the last Florida trip when Emerson was 6 months old. Below are a couple of thoughts on what made our vacation enjoyable with an energetic 15-month-old in tow. -I used to have the mentality that accommodations are not that important because I didn’t spend much time in the room. Now? Accommodations are the most…
The second half of our vacation was even better than the first because it warmed up into the 70’s. We weren’t sure if it would be hot enough for the beach when we planned the trip, but it was perfectly pleasant for sunning. Our first beach stop was Sunset Key. Guests at the Margaritaville can buy a day pass to visit the beach on the private resort island. After Emerson’s nap, we headed down to the dock in front of our…
