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. Instead, after winding down highway after highway hedged in by such beautiful spring views that practically made our eyes pop out of our heads, … Continue reading Stumbling Upon Narnia in Furenalp, Switzerland
Oh man, the first trimester was rough! I felt so horrible almost every day until I hit 14 weeks. Now, the cramps are mostly gone and I have a lot of my energy back! Praises!! 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

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
If you're spending more than a few days in Paris (and you're American!), I would bet that visiting the D-Day beaches is on your bucket list. With the closest beaches being a 3+ hour drive from the city, you might wonder if it's possible to do a day trip or how to best squeeze everything … Continue reading D-Day Beaches Day Trip from Paris
So, now that I'm finally getting around to catching up on blog posts, I wanted to share about our time in New York City. I barely remember spending a week in the Big Apple because it was during our whirlwind summer before moving overseas, affectionately referred to as the Jackson Tour of the US. But, … Continue reading NYC & The Baker’s Dozen
