Chances are, you know someone who is either expecting or a new mom, so today's gift guide is all about them! I'm going to be publishing my gift guides over the next few weeks. I can't believe we're already talking Christmas - and yes, I did already start playing Christmas music... Even though T really doesn't want anything Christmas in the house before Thanksgiving, I had to put on "Santa Baby" for the first time two days ago! Best Gifts for A New Mom one: A pair of the comfiest leggings …

Every so often I buy something on Amazon that I just have to gush about. I've put some of these things on Stories recently, but I wanted to share a full round up of all of my Amazon Baby shopping finds!

Quick DIY Family Halloween Costume

Nantucket in the Fall: the Ultimate Travel Guide
I love Cape Cod and the islands in the summer months, but there's something even more special about them in the fall, when all of the tourists have gone home. We decided to visit Nantucket in the fall recently. It was the best decision! Getting to Nantucket Year round you can take the ferry, either with a vehicle (which takes about 2 hours from the Cape to Nantucket) or without a vehicle and for a bit more per ticket (takes about an hour). Cape Air (which was bought by jetBlue a few years …
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 …
