In Florida we have to make our own hygge. In the fall and winter, I crave cozying up by the fire with a soft blanket, even better if the snow is falling outside the window! Instead, it's 80 degrees half the days in December. So we have to get creative. This year I discovered book … Continue reading Cozy Seasonal Woodland Books for Children
Babymoon in Vermont: Woodstock & Stowe in September
In September we took a lovely babymoon to Vermont, at 28 weeks pregnant. Our fall schedule was already packed with travel and obligations, so I wasn't going to insist on making a babymoon happen, but we had toyed around with the idea.

Daphne’s Birth Story
Baby Daphne is here!! I had a feeling she would come earlier than her brother, and my suspicion was that she would come the weekend between 40 and 41 weeks - and she did (40 weeks + 3 days)!

Never too late to share 🙂 If there's one thing I want to see when I travel, it's breathtaking beaches and stunning coastlines.

Traveling with a Baby/Toddler
Arthur just turned 15 months and we already have 5 (!) roundtrip flights under our belt, so I thought I would share a few things we've learned about traveling with a baby.

Everything We Saw, Did, and Ate in Paris
If you missed my previous posts (start here), we just got back from a family vacation in Paris with our 10 month old.
