This is just my personal experience, but these are the essentials I relied on and would buy again and again. I'll share … Continue reading Newborn Favorites (+ my entire baby item checklist!)
I packed EVERYTHING in my bags for labor and recovery. I would rather be over-prepared than under-prepared, and I'm very thorough, so I don't think I missed anything in my planning! HOWEVER, in the end we used about 5% of the things we brought! Seriously. So I wanted to share what I actually used! We'll … Continue reading Hospital Bag Essentials (Natural Birth)
Continued from Part I! Warning: This has *almost* every gory detail, and is absolutely far too long for a blog post, but I'm not apologizing because I want to remember everything for myself forever and ever!

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
There's no denying the magic of Paris. What is it that makes it such a romantic place? It's not even that you have to have someone to enjoy the romance with - it's more that you develop a romance with the city itself. The City of Light has artistry woven throughout its history. Its history … Continue reading Our Absolute Favorite Thing to Do in Paris
When we planned a trip to Switzerland in May, we pictured valleys sprinkled with wildflowers, spotted cows grazing in fields of green, and stunning views from every direction atop mountain peaks.
