A ‘Sophie La Girafe’ themed family brunch for my one year old babe. How time flies. I love this little darling more than I can put in words. Swipe to the end to see the video of her ‘first birthday grab’ (you put a bunch of items in front of the baby and see which one they will choose as a signal for their future interests/career). Clearly I was a little too excited that she chose the piggy bank.

A sunny long weekend with my little sunshine. National park visits and giant saguaro for as far as the eye can see. A showstopper milk shake filled with cookie goodness. Sun rays and palm trees and some much needed r&r. It was a good weekend!

All the Christmassy things. 🎄 A season filled with lots of sparkly lights, copious amounts of eggnog (spiked, obviously), warm gingerbread cookies, and sweet sweet snuggling. Baby also broke two ornaments and yanked on Santa’s beard.

I’m always missing London but especially this time of the year. The city knows how to do Christmas right! The Natural History Museum, Fortnum’s, Covent Garden, Oxford Circus, and Peggy Porschen’s are always good spots to visit when you’re looking for an extra bit of holiday magic 🙌🏻🎄🎄✨

Miami is….cotton candy skies and art deco vibes.

Miami is….cotton candy skies and art deco vibes. Melty cubanos (get the classic sandwich at Versailles) and graffiti-decked walls. 90 degree weather in November. Take us back! 😭

Hello from Miami! First time in the city and there

Hello from Miami! First time in the city and there are so many big, bold, bright places to see here. Took baby out to a fine dining restaurant for the first time (because, when in Miami) and we SURVIVED (no seriously, she was just chillin with her bib and puréed plum, loving the cityscape). And check out those views!!!!

Maui trip vlog! 🏝Watching Adelyn’s face light up at the Hawaiian sunsets every evening was truly special. Traveling with a baby is not easy, but it’s so worth it. Love seeing the world through her eyes!!!

5. Halemau’u Trail at Haleakala National Park
6. Maui Swap Meet for local goods and produce on Saturday mornings
7. Meander through the cute shops and streets of Paia and Makawao
8. Traditional Hawaiian Luau at the Old Lahaina Luau
9. Drive through Upcountry and lunch at Ulupulakua Ranch Store (pick up some sparkling pineapple wine next door at Maui Wine)
10. Great beaches at Kapalua Bay, Wailea Beach Park, and Kamaole Beach Park. If you’re at Kapalua, make sure to hit up the Kapalua Coastal Trail
11. Pies and fruit stand at Leoda’s

Surreal moments. Witnessed the sky on fire last night and it literally brought tears to my eyes! Soaking up every last minute in this slice of paradise.
