Maine Family Vacation

August 29, 2019

Maine Family Vacation

I last vacationed in Maine around the age of 10, so it had been a hot minute. But I found a new appreciation for Kennebunkport when we visited in August with my family! My dad has been trying to make a family vacation happen for a while (aside from our normal summer trips to the Cape), so we were all pretty psyched when this worked out. Granted, my older sister had a baby the prior week and was unable to join us for our Maine vacation, we're still counting it a win! I was hoping for nice …

Our Favorite Sedona Hiking Trails

August 19, 2019

Our Favorite Sedona Hiking Trails

Before we visited Arizona in May, we prepared for a true family hiking trip. We bought a backpack kid carrier specifically for this trip (we got this one). To prepare for the Sedona hiking trails, we took E on local hikes, and we planned out which trails we wanted to check out that were supposedly family friendly. We planned to do one day trip to the Grand Canyon, and all other hiking was local to Sedona. Our hiking was mostly the two of us plus E (20 months old) in our kid carrier. She …

Our Harvard Square Staycation

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

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 …
