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.

76 Main Hotel Review (Nantucket Hotels)
Last weekend we took a mini getaway to Nantucket and stayed at 76 Main. It's an adorable property on Main Street (and the only Nantucket hotel on Main!). The hotel underwent a huge renovation in 2013, but you'd think it was just done last week because everything is so on-trend (and Instagrammable, too!). Shirt I've been living in If you've never been to Nantucket before, you need to know that there are a few things you will see almost everywhere. Here are what I consider the most …
Cape Cod Recap – 8 Days in Chatham
A couple of weeks ago we spent 8 incredible days on the Cape that went by wayyyy too fast. We rented a house in Chatham (on the elbow of Cape Cod) with my sister and her husband, as well as my mom.
