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.

How to tackle 250 years of history with kids in to How to tackle 250 years of history with kids in tow—without a single mid-1800s meltdown! ✨🕰️

Let’s be honest: taking kids to a sprawling, 200-acre outdoor museum can sound intimidating on paper. But our day exploring @oldsturbridgevillage was an absolute dream, and it turns out that 1830s New England charm is the ultimate antidote to modern screen fatigue.

With the entire nation celebrating America’s 250th anniversary this year, the village is buzzing with an electric, celebratory energy. Here is our family edit on how we made this living history leap a massive hit for the little ones—and an effortlessly cool day out for us:

✨ 1. Ditch the Grid, Let Them Lead: We threw out the rigid sightseeing schedule the second we crunched onto the gravel paths. Whether they wanted to spend twenty minutes asking the cobbler questions or follow a wandering flock of sheep, letting their natural curiosity set the pace was our secret weapon.
✨ 2. Zero in on the Sensory Magic: Kids learn by doing, seeing, and touching! We prioritized the high-action stops: the mesmerizing glow of the blacksmith’s hearth, the working farm animals, and the stagecoach rides.
✨ 3. Ride the 250th Wave: The 250th anniversary festivities are pure visual and auditory gold for children. The rhythmic fife and drum parades and lively historical reenactments captured their attention in a way a textbook never could! 🥁🇺🇸
✨ 4. Glam on the Gravel: Practicality is chic. We paired tailored layers with our most comfortable, heavy-rotation walking sneakers, packed plenty of snacks, and embraced the slow, unplugged pace of village life.

Watching the kids trade screen time for hands-on discovery while we got to stroll arm-in-arm through sun-drenched heirloom gardens? That is the holy grail of family travel. Proof that you never have to sacrifice style, spirit, or your sanity to learn something new together! 🌿👟

Little known fact about me: I have always had a wild dream of getting my pilot’s license. I actually flew a plane once, and that feeling of total freedom, altitude, and pure rebellion has stayed with me ever since.

So you can imagine my absolute delight when I found out that the ultimate queen of the skies—Amelia Earhart—used to call Medford, Massachusetts home in the 1920s! Before she was breaking world records and rewriting the history books, she was living right here on Brooks Street while working as a social worker. And today is her birthday! She would have been 128 years old today.

We took a little afternoon stroll to check out the plaque outside her historic house, and then headed into downtown Medford for a coffee and to take in this incredible mural on the side of Colleen’s. It is the absolute coolest tribute to a woman who refused to let anyone tell her how high she could fly.

Here is your reminder today to put on the aviators, book the flight, take the risk, and own your boldest, most unapologetic ambitions. 🥂

The House & Plaque: 76 Brooks Street, Medford, MA

The Mural: Outside Colleen’s in Downtown Medford

When the craving for true Parisian luxury hits but a transatlantic flight isn’t on the morning agenda, you improvise. I threw on my favorite oversized sunnies, packed the girls into the car, and bee-lined it to Michette Bakery in Somerville.

Tasting Table recently named them one of the 14 Best French Bakeries in the entire US, and let me tell you, darlings—the hype is incredibly real. The pain au chocolat is an absolute masterpiece of flaky, buttery perfection that practically transported me right back to strolling the Seine in 2016. It’s the ultimate luxe morning: world-class pastry, toddler sticky fingers, and zero apologies.

The visiting tall ships might have sailed off into The visiting tall ships might have sailed off into the sunset, but darling, we still have the ultimate classic right here in Boston. ⚓️✨

If you’re looking for an epic family outing that doesn’t require a trust fund or a meticulously color-coded itinerary, a trip to the Charlestown Navy Yard is it. The U.S.S. Constitution is the grand dame of the harbor, and she is always ready for her close-up.

Here is the ultimate cheat code for a high-low glam day out:

The Ship: It is completely FREE to step aboard and explore “Old Ironsides” (just remember adults need to bring an ID for security!).

The Visitor’s Center: Also free, and the perfect spot to cool down and get your bearings.

The Museum: If you want to dive deeper into the history without emptying your wallet, simply grab a pass from your local library (yes, the library, not the museum!) before you go. It waives the admission, making the whole day basically free.

Less money spent on tickets means more budget for post-adventure lattes and ice cream. That’s just smart girl math.

Have you taken the kids yet?
