This travel post is a long time coming... we first flew with Eleanor back in March! Before having a baby, T and I agreed that we didn't want to do a complete 180 in our lives (with respect to travel) once our family grew. We have stuck to that, for the most part, so I'm sharing some tips today on flying with a baby in the hopes that it will help you feel a little more at ease about your travels! First, let's talk about when is the best time to travel with a baby. For us, 4-6 months was …

10 Winter Items You Need to Keep Baby Warm
One of the questions I get the most is how to dress your baby in the winter. Today I'm sharing my 10 winter items that you must have for your baby if you live in a place where it gets cold. 1. A blanket. We have two blankets that we used constantly last winter. This small pink blanket is soft and great as an extra layer, and this (monogrammable!) lined blanket is great to cover the stroller or car seat. 2. Car seat cover. When the weather gets chilly, you need an extra layer over the …

Amazon Baby Shopping Haul
Every so often I buy something on Amazon that I just have to gush about.

Baby mittens (and mitten clips!): Eleanor has reached an age where she doesn't want to keep hats or mittens on, …
Our Everyday Morning Routine
Last week I shared with you what I do for work these days (go back and read if you haven't yet!). Today I thought I would share with you our everyday morning routine! Every day after 10am is vastly different because of my job, but our early mornings are typically very similar day-to-day. Eleanor is sleeping 12 hours at night, so I pretty much know what time she will wake up based on what time she went to bed. (Of course, if she is sick or teething this changes!) Most mornings she is up around …
My Day Job
It's been a while since I updated on what I do for a living, so I thought it would be fun to sit down and just share with you all what I do all day everyday. Some of you probably know that for years I worked in digital marketing for corporate companies, from ecommerce to travel. I started just out of college at a company called Vistaprint (where I met my husband!) and worked my way up there as a marketer. I switched jobs a few times over the past 10 years (ouch! How has it been 10 years??), …
