We love to travel, so looking back on all of our 2019 travels was so fun! It also made me realize that we forgot to add a few ornaments to our tree this year. (It's one of our family traditions to get an ornament when we go somewhere new.) Two of my forever-popular posts are how to fly with a baby and how to fly with a toddler. If you have kids (or will soon), I hope those posts are helpful to you! We started traveling with E when she was just a couple of months old, and I honestly think that …

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 …
