Today I'm wrapping up 2018 with a round up of my favorite purchases, travel, motherhood moments, and more! 2018 Travel In 2018 our travel slowed down, as we had a new family member on board. In 2018 Eleanor took her first flight to San Francisco, where we also spent a few days in Carmel and Monterey. Then we visited NYC, where my younger sister lives. Sprout and Grammy joined us on this trip! T and I went to see a live taping of SNL - SO GOOD. Over the summer we spent a few …

What I’ve Learned from Eleanor (So Far!)
It has been 14.5 months since I became "Mama" to Eleanor. I feel like this little one taught me a lot even before she was born, when I spent time reading all of the pregnancy books. (Here's a fun fact: Reading every book can't prepare you for motherhood realities.) I didn't expect motherhood to be a constant learning experience, but as she grows and changes, I feel like I'm learning more and more, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Take risks.

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.

How has it been 10 years??), …

We got married in 2014 and I still …
Our Cape Cod July 4th
We decided to spend the week of the 4th of July this year at Cape Cod with my side of the family. It has been such a great week so far! I know I've been radio silent on the blog (sorry about that!), so I wanted to share some photos from our day yesterday. We took a boat over to Boaters Beach, hopped off and spent the early part of the day in the water. My sisters and I wore red, white, and blue swimsuits without calling each other to coordinate. My vintage-style swimsuit is from J.Crew …
