We drive down to Florida once (sometimes several times) a year and make a few stops along the way. This year was no exception, and one of our new stops was Siesta Key. Siesta Beach has been voted the #1 beach in the US, so we had to check it out. There is also a […]

Twenty Things To Do Now That You Are One
This post was inspired by An Imperfect Mum several months ago when her son turned 8. I loved the idea so much that I bookmarked it to love on her idea for my sons 1st birthday. We have already done so much before he turned one that it is interesting to think about what we […]

Moving To Nashville
I had to take a bit of a hiatus from blogging for our big move across state lines. I made the ridiculous, but necessary, choice to sell my condo and close on the new house on the same day in two different states, so coordinating the financials, moving everything out and actually getting to the […]

Baby’s 1st Birthday
The baby recently celebrated his very 1st birthday. We’ve been very busy planning a move while working full time, and having the little one’s birthday became another source of stress for me. How were we going to mark the occasion? We don’t really have any parent friends with kids of the same age, so how […]

Buying A House
We are trying to buy a house, and I pretty much can’t think of anything else right now. I have a condo that I’ve owned for 11 years, where I went to graduate school, but it is much too small for us, particularly us with the baby, and the constant grandparent visits are making us […]

It is no secret that I have been struggling with work-life balance since returning from maternity leave. I’ve had little head space for projects at work that require focus, and I’m resentful towards work and the time it takes me away from the baby. There is never enough time to accomplish everything that I’d like […]

48 Hours In Santa Barbara
Wow, there is a lot to do in Santa Barbara and way more than we could get to in 48 hours. I would have to say that 48 hours in Santa Barbara is a bit like a Choose Your Own Adventure. There are tons of great things to do in every category, so you’re forced […]

Worrying About Flying With A Baby And What Actually Happened
Flying with baby for the first time can be very stressful. We scoured the internet for answers to our most pressing questions, but nothing replaces actually doing it yourself and seeing how it works for you, your child, and whatever TSA agent you may end up with. My baby flirted so hard with one TSA […]

I Never Thought I Wouldn’t Want To Work
I have a confession to make. This is really hard for me to say, but I would rather stay home and give the baby my undivided attention than work full time. I know this does not seem like much. I know that this seems to many like the ideal situation. Of course, I’d want that! […]
