21 weeks - my favorite picture of the little-but-visible bump! 28 weeks on the beach in St. Augustine Note: I started writing this when I was 22 weeks, and then proceeded to spend all my spare time & energy working on the baby registry for the next 2-ish months (it's like a part-time job!), so … Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 2nd Trimester
Undoubtedly, one of the best parts of living in Paris is having a zillion amazing museums at your fingertips. Whit and I are major museum nerds. We like almost any kind of museum - fine art, science, natural history - whatever it is, we want to learn about it. Paris has a number of world-famous … Continue reading A Quirky Museum Filled with Taxidermy
After compiling a list of all the movies I want to see (I use Asana for stuff like this!), I found myself watching way more movies than I normally would, and across a wider range of genres. Instead of watching a tv show or repeating my go-to movies over and over, I actually watched the … Continue reading 51 Movies I Watched in the Last Year and a Half

I read through some posts like these and took a few recommendations from other people to try to make it … Continue reading First Trimester Favorites
Yep, we're on to the next adventure! I don't really like doing things the easy way, so I figured why not add a pregnancy to this year that has already been filled with the challenges of a global pandemic, moving to a new state, buying a house, and starting new jobs?! We always have to … Continue reading Baby J: The First Trimester
If 2020 was good for one thing, it was reading more than I ever have before (well, since I was little and read ~12 picture books a day). I read so many books that had been on my to-read or to-read-read list for ages, as well as some new releases and a few that I … Continue reading 2020 Reads
Do you remember how in nineties movies and books, one of THE coolest things that people did was dress up in swanky snow gear (don't forget the reflective neon googles and a look that says I'm better than you) and spend the day on the slopes? Somehow they always found the perfect mountain vista with … Continue reading La Clusaz: French Alps Daydream
Do you know what my specialty is? RESEARCH. Especially thorough research that's too detailed for anyone's good. This can get out of hand when it comes to trivia about Mike Gordon (Flash Gordon is his cutest cat) or writing a research paper (TOO MANY TABS), but it's actually a pretty great skill when it comes … Continue reading A Guide to All the Normandy D-Day Beaches, Museums, & Memorials
