Gosh, at this point our trip to Jamaica feels like it was a lifetime ago when it was really only about 5 weeks back! We booked it on a bit of a whim because it was around our 11th wedding anniversary. Years ago, Eric and I talked longingly about taking a huge 10 year anniversary […]
I received so many questions about my packing strategy for Paris. Packing for a short trip abroad in the cooler months can be a challenge so I wanted to share what I did and learnings (aka what I didn’t wear at all). I also will be sharing a more robust itinerary but if you want […]
Shopbop Spring Sale It’s that time of year! This sale is the time when you can save up to 25% at Shopbop with code SPRING. Because Shopbop is one of my favorite retailers, I bought a bunch of stuff for our upcoming trip with month (if we even get to go due to all the […]

I write a Chicago guide every few years and thought it was high time I wrote another: here’s the Official Non-Tourist Chicago Summer Guide–lots of patios included because, well, we gotta be outside. Yes, I moved to the suburbs (read why and also read more about how it’s going here), but I’m still in the […]
A Goyard tote has been on my list for awhile. I’m not carrying THAT much stuff around for my kids anymore and I wanted an unstructured carry-all that I could carry to meetings while not feeling like it’s too formal for preschool pickup.
