Not only is our little guy turning two in March (ah tear, where did time go? insert crying emoji) but all his little friends are as well, which means we have lots of two year old birthday parties coming up….
Surviving the First Night Out Post-Baby
This Friday, Andrew and I had our first night out since having baby Charlotte. Honestly, it was so much easier than the first time we left James, and I’m so glad we went out without the kids even if it…
Our Favorite Family Vacation Destinations
Fun fact: I used to cover wedding and honeymoon destinations for work way back in the day, which meant traveling the world visiting all the most amazing (and romantic) spots. I’ve been everywhere, from Chile and South Africa to Thailand,…
Toddler Ski Gear
Every year we go skiing in Park City for Christmas, and it’s one of my favorite holiday traditions. We’ve taken James and Charlotte since they were born, and now they’re finally old enough to take ski lessons and spend a…
Easy Toddler Dinner Ideas
I don’t really have a frame of reference, but apparently, my kids weren’t as picky as they could be as toddlers. They all eat, and more than one thing. Apparently, that’s good. Idk. But I still wish they ate more…

Holiday Gifts for Teachers
I think shopping for holiday gifts for teachers stresses me out more than any other holiday shopping I have to do. I am so grateful to James and Charlotte’s teachers for all that they do for them and how they’ve…
Three Year Old Boy Gifts
Although it seems like forever ago that James turned three (tear, and how do I now have a SIX year old?!), it really felt like the first year he actually understood Christmas and birthdays — and that we were on…
How to Overcome Mom Guilt
Mom guilt. It’s probably one of the hardest parts about becoming a mom for me other than learning not to get triggered or frustrated when my kids are fighting, tantruming and whining. But I actually think mom guilt is one…
Healthy School Lunch Ideas
It’s back to school time, and this year, James will be going to school for a full day, which means I need to pack a lunch for him every. single. day. I’m not going to lie, the first time I…
What to Wear at The Hospital After Giving Birth
I had no idea what to pack for the hospital for myself the first time I gave birth. What do you wear after giving birth? Pajamas? Sweats? Regular clothes? Even though I plotted out the nursery, a detailed registry, basically…
