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

If Holly Golightly crashed a Griswold family Chris If Holly Golightly crashed a Griswold family Christmas, it would look exactly like the Holly Jolly Bar at West End Johnnie’s. 👑✨ 

Alex and I escaped for a date night and this place is an absolute fever dream of festive kitsch in the best way possible. 

From the “Keep the change ya filthy animal” neon glow to sipping spiked eggnog out of a Clark Griswold moose mug in my faux fur, the high-low glam energy was off the charts.

The menu is packed with shareable bites and the drink menu is basically a love letter to our favorite holiday movies. 

Leave the kids at home, put on your favorite sparkly skirt, and go get festive.

Found the Main Character of Gnomevember. 🍄✨ We ma Found the Main Character of Gnomevember. 🍄✨

We make the trip out to the New England Botanic Garden every year for this, but the artistry this season is on another level. 

I was completely mesmerized by “The Storyteller” gnome. Between the vintage library card detail, the spines of my favorite fairytales, and the tiny signpost pointing to Narnia and the Hundred Acre Woods I could have stared at him all afternoon.

I know we’re all supposed to look for the Golden Gnome, but if you’re taking the kids (or just going for a highly aesthetic autumn walk), you have to hunt The Storyteller down. 

Gnomevember is @NewEnglandBG until November 30. 

Tell me—if you could follow his signpost to any fictional world, where are you buying a one-way ticket to? 📖✈️

✨ Save this post for your next weekend outing and tag a friend you’d love to take with you!

Who says you can’t mix priceless Egyptian antiquit Who says you can’t mix priceless Egyptian antiquities with a stroller and a little attitude? 👑✨

We took the girls to the Maverick Kings exhibition at the @mfaboston, and let me tell you—it is serving major drama, gold, and ancient history, and we were absolutely here for it. But let’s be real: navigating a world-class art museum with kids requires a solid game plan and probably an extra shot of espresso. ☕️

I’ve put together my ultimate chic survival guide in this carousel so you can conquer Egypt’s golden age without losing your cool. 

From pre-gaming the history before you leave the house to letting them channel their inner art detectives at the hieroglyphics station, there is so much magic to unpack here. 

And yes, the whole thing is beautifully stroller-friendly. Roll right on through, mamas. 🖤

Swipe through for all 7 of my street-smart tips to make this a seamless, stylish adventure. The exhibit closes December 6th, so consider this your sign to grab those timed-entry tickets before they’re history! ⏳

The holiday gift scramble is officially on, mamas— The holiday gift scramble is officially on, mamas—and if your playroom looks anything like mine, we are pivoting hard toward experiences this year. 🎁✨

Looking back at footage from our last Disney on Ice adventure has me so excited for round two! There is just nothing quite like the sheer magic of seeing their eyes light up when the music starts and the skaters take the ice.

That’s why we are gifting tickets to see Disney on Ice: Spotlight Magic when it skates into Boston this February vacation (February 17-21, 2027)! It’s the ultimate way to break up the winter blues, skip the toy clutter, and make memories they’ll talk about all year.

Whether you’re tucking tickets into a stocking or wrapping up a sparkly envelope under the tree, it’s a total home run. Tickets are on sale now—head to the link in my bio to lock in your seats @tdgarden before the best spots disappear! ⛸️👑💫

School might have been out today, but mama’s class School might have been out today, but mama’s classroom was wide open. 🏛️✨

We took full advantage of the day off and headed to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to check out Maverick Kings: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt’s Golden Age.

If you have little ones, this exhibit is such a home run. The girls were completely captivated—especially channeling some serious ancient girl power learning about powerful queens like Hatshepsut - who actually claimed the title Pharaoh, trying out the interactive gallery prompts, and spending forever at the hands-on hieroglyphics station. 

Let’s just say Arielle has been utterly obsessed with her Egyptology book ever since we walked out the doors! Having my mom along (our resident Egyptophile who has actually stood among the pyramids!) made watching them explore 3,000 years of gold and royal history even more magical.

And the fun photo booth at the end was the icing on the cake!

Proof that the best learning happens when you get out and make it an adventure. Maverick Kings is on view at the MFA through December 6th—definitely add it to your family bucket list before it’s gone!
