We just got back from a whirlwind of a weekend, which included a wedding, a photo shoot, and a baby blessing, all of which led to me taking around 1,000 pictures in a 48-hour span. And you know what I didn’t realize until it was basically too late? There were almost no photos of my …
We Now Interrupt the Travel Posts to Talk About Style
I thought once I got back down to my regular size that my style would pick up right where I’d left off, with everything belted and at least a few layers to switch things up and a pair of colorful heels a few times a week (not too mention the hairstyle-rotation thing I used to …
We’ll Laugh About This Someday
It is a truth sometimes acknowledged by the more optimistic among us that the best vacations always contain an element of surprise, an experience that seems somewhat (or completely) awful at the time, but that turns into one of the fondest moments of spontaneity from the whole trip. That’s why, years down the road, Matt …
Traveling w/ Kids: It’s Not Awful, But It IS Different
Lately, I’ve seen a lot of posts from parents that basically all say that traveling with kids is the pits: no rest, no relaxation, no fun–just supervision and crankiness and stress the vast majority of the time.

In other words, it was everything a vacation should be. And, while I can’t …
A Tale of Two Friends
If our kids’ gibberish could be articulated out into English, this is probably exactly what happened that day in the pool. Ice cream and all.
A Party Worth Driving 4 Hours For
You might remember (since I just posted about it last week) that our good friends moved to a place two hours south of us not too long ago. Well, despite my despair at maybe never seeing them again (okay, only seeing them once or twice a year maybe), my fears have (so far) been unfounded …
Quick Raven Stats: 15 Months
Because I don’t dare try to do a photo shoot with her on our bed (as per my previous baby stats posts), I figured I’d just drop in these photos instead (from when she was about 14 1/2 months, if we want to get technical). I mean, they were pretty cute, so I had to …
