My Guide to Traveling with Kids: Our Best Practices & Lessons Learned
Over Christmas, Tom and I took both boys on a two-week adventure to the East Coast to visit family and friends, including stops in Durham, Miami and Palm Beach. Because it was our first time traveling with two – and traveling to two different climates to boot! – we spent a lot of time in preparation. We traveled extensively with Wyatt in his first two years (I previously posted about that experience here) – but travel with two was a whole new ball game! I know travel with kids can be extremely ... View the Post
My Guide to Traveling with Kids: Our Complete Packing List & Favorite Products
I recently shared my best practices and lessons learned from traveling with Wyatt the last two years, and traveling with two over Christmas this year (link here). I've found one of the keys to successful travel with kids is having a robust packing list, and ensuring that you've checked every box before heading out the door. We also reference it during the trip when traveling between destinations to ensure we haven’t misplaced anything! Below I've shared our full kid packing list here for your ... View the Post
Parchment-Steamed Halibut with Martini Relish & Crispy Herbed Couscous
Heath Ceramics Alabama Chanin Collection Dishes While visiting Palm Beach this Christmas, Tom's aunt Nancy prepared us this delicious halibut with a tangy "martini" relish.

Ten Weeks with Baby Luke
I heard from many you that my "Week One with Baby Luke" post was a helpful reference, so I wanted to share an update on how things have been going since. I'm including a recap of our routine, my nursing plan, and how Tom, Wyatt and I have been handling the transition to a family of four (with two under two!).We also just got back our family photos from Jill Baker and I'm so excited to share a few of them too! Jill is based locally here in Marin, and I would highly recommend working with her if ... View the Post
My Complete Review of the Instant Pot + Favorite Recipes
So you've got an Instant Pot, and now you're wondering what the heck to do with it? Or maybe you're still wondering if this so-called magical device will transform your life? I was in the same boat just a few short months ago, until my mom, a superb chef and former caterer, convinced me to take the plunge. A few months later, we've dispensed with our old slow cooker and rice maker and I'm now a complete convert. I am admittedly a kitchen gadget collector (my favorites are linked here for ...
