I posted recently about our traveling essentials for baby here, but I didn't mention our favorites (adults only). Tom and I dated long distance across the pond (Boston > London) and country (Boston > San Francisco) for three years, so I like to think we have this travel thing down to a science. We have a packed travel schedule this month, with 4 (!) cross-country trips upcoming to celebrate best friends' impending nuptials. As we prepare for our journeys, I thought I'd share our tried ...

the wedding registry guide
Tom and I moved in together for the first time just a few weeks before our wedding, which is basically the perfect time for all of your friends and family to gift you amazing new stuff!
