Our family has spent countless hours in the car together traveling to locations both within the United States and internationally. Most people cringe when we tell them about the long drives we manage with a toddler, but it’s really all about how well we prepare…
I’m not ashamed to admit that I set text updates to know the exact moment Stitch Fix hits my mailbox. I’m also unabashed by the fact that I reacted so quickly to the notification that Tyler had to wait for the mailwoman to actually…
I’ve already covered where to stay while visiting Edinburgh, but what about activities to put on the agenda? When we visited in the spring we found ourselves with a day and a half to see everything in Edinburgh, which is no small feat. There’s a number of…
Whenever I tell someone that I moved from a suburban 5-bedroom home to a 2-bedroom apartment in one of the busiest city centers in the country, their jaw usually take a minute or two to come off the floor. I agree, it’s a huge…
If you haven’t already heard of Stitch Fix, let me tell you a little bit about this incredible program. Let me first say that Stitch Fix and I did not partner on this post, I just really, really love receiving their boxes that I…
Our little boy went from crawling to sprinting quite literally overnight. He loves to be outside and especially loves to be independent. We can’t keep him sitting still for more than a couple minutes (except at bedtime), which makes taking trips or venturing outside…
When I visited Europe on my last trip, I had an overwhelming amount of people comment on the beauty of Edinburgh. Most had visited at one point or another and told stories of their journeys in both the medieval World Heritage site of Old Town…
Last year was my first ever Mom’s Day. Fox was on month three of colic so intense that could take the paint off the walls and, to be honest, all I wanted was a little bit of peace. Tyler asked if he could surprise me…
My first job ever was at KB Toys where I was hired a few days before my 16th birthday. I didn’t really need the job, because I didn’t have any bills at that point, so I usually put a small portion of my paycheck…
Sophomore year of college meant one thing to me: moving off campus into my own apartment. The school had rules against freshmen living off campus, but come year two and I was free as a bird. I made plans to move in with a…
When Tyler and I decided we were ready to start trying for a baby a couple years ago, we had a talk I’d been dreading: parenting strategy. We had already experienced growing pains as a young couple trying to blend our two lives into…
The first time I ever had my makeup professionally done was the trial run for my wedding. When the MUA left the house I stared at myself in the mirror thinking “whoa!” There were angles in my face that I’d never seen before and I…
With tax season upon us, many of us are eagerly awaiting that refund check to come in so that we can turn around and spend it on something that has been on our wish list for some time. For me, it was time that…
“One day you’re going to look at him and think, ‘I really love him.'” These were the well-meaning words that Fox’s pediatrician spoke to me at his 1 month check-up. I was shocked, confused, a little miffed, but mostly sad. All I could do…
One of the biggest struggles that I have had as a new mom is finding time. Finding time for bubble baths, reading a good book, working out, and cooking a delicious meal isn’t always easy, but the responsibility still stands to create a happy and…
