Baby Gift Ideas I overheard two ladies talking behind me at the store today about how hard it is to shop for someone with babies. They were trying to come up with Christmas presents for a daughter or niece who didn’t seem to need anything (second child) and they didn’t just want to buy another…
My mom bought a dinosaur LEGO DUPLO set twenty years ago and when it came time to put it together one Saturday morning (twenty years ago), my dad declared we needed more DUPLO bricks. She bought another two or three preschool sets (the extra large set you would buy to have a classroom set for your…
Earlier this week I handed Lincoln a pretzel crisp (still my favorite snack) and without even looking up from the book he was “reading” he said “tanks.” I think my heart melted on the spot (and I decided we could work on eye contact later). Turns out Ben had been working on ‘thank yous’ with…

It’s a Tuesday afternoon and I’m sitting here catching up on work while snacking on a few pretzel crisps (have you tried them? I’ve been addicted for months). I can hear Adelaide’s noise machine in the other room and Ben and Lincoln giggling in the pool outside. Life feels good right now. Ever since little…
Thanks for your words of encouragement as we said goodbye to family yesterday. We’re all adjusting to life as a family of four over here and while we’ve geared up for it to be a rather sleepless summer, I’m hoping we manage to have some fun as well. I’ve rounded up a list of activities…
We have been dining out with a baby for a little over a year now and there are a few things I learned I wish I would have considered from the get-go. UPDATE: We now have baby #2 and Lincoln is a full fledged toddler and THIS TRICK is the most genius tip I’ve taken…
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Whether your baby is due tomorrow or in a few months, you probably can’t help but start thinking of all the things you want to have done for their arrival. There are cute onesies to buy and diapers to purchase, but you can also start stockpiling things for…
Today I have a glimpse into the AMAZING apartment we stayed in while on Mallorca, off the coast of Spain, last month. We found it through HomeAway while looking for places to stay in Spain and couldn’t have been happier. When we were planning our trip to Europe, I knew I didn’t want to stay…
I hope you had a beautiful Mother’s Day yesterday, either being celebrated or celebrating the wonderful women in your life. I’m back with the first our our pictures from our grand European adventure (we’ll call it that because it was not restful enough to be called a vacation and it seems a much bigger deal…
I’m thrilled our next vacation involves staying with family and not in a hotel, but after last month’s excursion to Nashville, I’ve put together a few things I learned about hotel living with a baby. Plus, there are a few more pictures from Nashville I wanted to share 🙂 1. Surrender the bathroom. Just do…
We hit twenty weeks of life with this little guy on Monday – and celebrated by taking a few pictures and filming a little bit of this sweet babe. Here are a few things I want to remember about life with Lincoln these days – This is a long one so if you’re not really into…

One of the highlights of being home in New Hampshire for a week and a half was celebrating this pregnancy with family and friends. In keeping with the “Ahoy, It’s a boy!” invitations my family sent out, everything was nautical themed. The biggest travesty of the evening was the lack of pictures (the problem when…
