I’m Pregnant!

January 2, 2023

pregnancy-announcement

It feels so incredible to finally share our very big news: We are expecting a baby in June 2023!

travel-pregnancy-announcement

Keeping this a secret has been no easy fête. While I am still not really showing, I’ve been dealing with severe morning sickness (more on this to follow) that has really slowed me down work-wise. At the same time, this has been the busiest holiday season of my influencer career and it has been hard to turn down all the free cocktails while pregant – thank goodness for mocktails!

But after going through two miscarriages in the first half of 2022, I really wanted to keep our little secret until I was further along. We also wanted to explain this new chapter in our lives to Arielle, and then with our families before sharing it online. Call me old fashioned, but I’m a bit superstitious that way.

Now that the word is “out” I have so many fun updates and photos to share with you all, including how we told Arielle and our families, and how I’ve been keeping up with life (hint: barely).

So much is still up in the air, including the gender for Bébé #2, but one thing I do know is it’s going to be quite the adventure!

A big thank you to my good friend, Jessie Wyman of Jessie Wyman Photography, for capturing this special moment for us.

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

To my favorite co-pilot, Alex. Being a girl dad to To my favorite co-pilot, Alex. Being a girl dad to Arielle and Aurora isn’t for the faint of heart, but you handle the beautiful, loud, and fiercely pink chaos of our lives like a professional. 

Thank you for hauling the ungodly amount of luggage, negotiating with toddlers like a seasoned diplomat, and keeping the travel itinerary moving forward while I secure the champagne.

Happy Father’s Day to you, and to all the adventurous dads out there whose idea of a wild weekend seamlessly transitioned from late nights downtown to navigating strollers across historic cobblestones.

Cheers to the guys who carry the weekender bags, embrace the grit, and still know how to make the ride an absolute blast.

Taking Aurora to her very first movie theater experience to see Toy Story 5 at @showcaseus Woburn was everything. 

From the exclusive merch (those blankets and thermoses!) to the luxe seats and the post-movie arcade games, Showcase makes the whole day feel like an event. We laughed, (I cried), we ate way too much popcorn, and we definitely made some core memories.

And because a chic mom loves a brilliant perk: you absolutely need to jump on Showcase’s “See Three and Go Free” promo this summer. Their Starpass program is completely free to join, and if you see three movies between now and August 31st (and grab three snacks or drinks—because obviously, we are getting the collectible popcorn buckets), you score a free movie ticket to use between September 1st and November 1st. Consider your next rainy/super hot day activity or parent escape handled. 🍿✨

If you haven’t visited The Mount yet, consider this your sign to pack up the car and head to the Berkshires.

Edith Wharton designed this estate herself, and walking through it feels like stepping into one of her novels—if her novels featured a modern mom chasing two girls through a perfectly manicured French garden. 

It is dripping in architectural elegance, but it never feels stuffy. It’s the perfect blend of historic sophistication and wide-open spaces for the kids to explore. Plus, there is nothing quite like showing your daughters the physical legacy of a woman who completely owned her story (and her style).

Tell me in the comments: If you were building your Gilded Age dream home, are you demanding the two-story library or the sunken Italian garden? 📚🌿

Motherhood in the little years is a beautiful, cha Motherhood in the little years is a beautiful, chaotic, and wonderful whirlwind. 

Between the endless scheduling and the sheer energy it takes to keep everything running, it is so easy to overlook the small, unscripted moments that make this chapter so brilliant.

We talk a lot about the milestones, but what about the spontaneous living room ballet recitals? The architectural pillow forts that take over the living room? The fact that my wardrobe is now routinely critiqued by two tiny fashion directors who strongly advocate for more sequins or that while I might want chocolate ice cream at the pretend Gelateria in my yard I instead get handed a flavor called “Rainbow Chocolate Pink”?

These are the unplanned perks. The moments that force you to be present, laugh a little louder, and remember that life doesn’t have to be perfectly tidy to be incredibly beautiful.

These are the Blink-and-You-Miss-It Moments I’m fiercely clinging to as a mom to two little girls who I love more than anything.

What is your favorite unplanned perk of the season you are in right now?

This video is from 2022—masks on, being so incredi This video is from 2022—masks on, being so incredibly careful because of Covid, but absolutely determined to sing to our Nunny. Today, she would have been 105.

It has been two and a half years since we lost her, and if there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: it doesn’t matter how many years a person gets on this earth. Living a remarkably long, beautiful life doesn’t make it one bit easier for the people who have to stay behind and say goodbye.

I still have that immediate, gut reaction to pick up the phone and call her the second something exciting happens in our lives. Arielle just performed at her very first Open Mic, and my first thought was how much I wanted to tell Nunny all about it. Aurora isn’t in this video—she’d make her appearance the following year—and so often, when she hits a new milestone or does something for the very first time, my heart aches wishing Nunny was sitting right there to see it.

The world will truly never be the same without you in it. We love you so fiercely, and we miss you every single day.

Happy Birthday, Nunny. 🕊️🤍

We came for the magnificent elephants and giraffes, but the real plot twist? ‘A Bug’s World.’ I am the first to admit I am not a bug person, but watching the girls completely mesmerized by larger-than-life animatronic insects was unexpectedly fabulous. 

Add in high-flying rescue dogs serving major personality and the beautiful chaos of petting the goats, and this is a full-day adventure you absolutely need to book.

Have you seen ‘A Bug’s World’ yet? Let me know below! 👇
