Our Harvard Square Staycation

August 3, 2019

Our Harvard Square Staycation

When we initially talked about our renovation (and living with our families), we also talked about taking a staycation here and there. I don't know why we haven't until now, but last weekend we stayed in Harvard Square (in Cambridge, just outside of Boston). It was so needed, and I want to plan another soon! We chose to stay at The Charles Hotel, one of our favorite spots. (When T and I first met, it was at a work event at The Charles. Our first date was just down the street at a …

Chicago with a Toddler: Where to Stay + What to Do

T had a work trip to Chicago last month, and I decided to join him and explore the city. I've been to Chicago twice before: Once back in 2010 when T and I visited for a few days, and again for just one night on our way to Bangkok. I have never been with kids, though, so it was an entirely new experience going to Chicago with a toddler. Today I'm breaking down our trip: What we did, where we stayed, and where to find the best playground for kids. How kid-friendly is Chicago? Chicago is …

Where to Go: Weekend on Cape Cod

July 3, 2019

Where to Go: Weekend on Cape Cod

I went to the mid-Cape (that's Cape Cod) every summer pretty much my entire life, so it's always fun to get back when I can! It seems like more and more people are visiting the Cape every year, so today I'm sharing some of my favorite spots. Bookmark this for your potential future trips. If you aren't sure where to stay on the Cape, it comes down to a few different factors. If you're taking public transportation, like the ferry from Boston to P-town, that's very different from driving …

Travel + Instant Print Photos

Hello from Chicago! We're in town for a few days while T is on a work trip. E and I joined him for a few days of deep dish pizza and city living! I used to travel with my big DSLR, but these days snacks and diapers take up that space. I was excited when Canon asked if they could send me their new Canon IVY CLIQ+ to try out. Last summer we spent a week on the Cape with family, and one of the cousins brought an instant print camera. During the week they went through lots of film, hanging …
