This is 38: Grateful, and Hitting the Road with A New Chapter of Adventures

August 3, 2024

Hello, my fabulous friends!

It’s officially my birthday weekend, and as I turn another year older (38, to be exact!), I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude. I’m incredibly thankful for all the blessings in my life, especially the amazing family that makes every day an adventure. And speaking of adventures… I have some exciting news to share!

Introducing The Fashionably Kate & Co. YouTube Channel

We’re thrilled to be launching our very own YouTube channel dedicated to family travel, fashion, and all the fun that comes with exploring the world together. For the past year, our Instagram followers have been joining us on some incredible trips, and it’s been amazing to connect with so many of you through our travels. Now, we’re excited to bring you even more in-depth experiences, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and practical tips for making the most of your own family getaways.

Behind the Scenes & Beyond

If you’ve followed my career, you know I’ve always loved being in front of the camera. But these days, the spotlight is on the real stars of the show: my amazing family. My mom, the ultimate travel buddy and babysitter extraordinaire, always has our backs (and keeps us entertained!). My husband, the love of my life and the most patient man on earth, somehow manages to take every vacation day to join us on our adventures (even when I ask him to take “just one more” photo – whoops!). And of course, my two little rays of sunshine, Arielle and Aurora, who are the most patient and understanding kids a mama could ask for. I love you all more than words can say.

What to Expect on Our Channel

Get ready for a whole lot of fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments as we take you along on our family’s adventures. We’ll be sharing:

  • Destination Guides: From tropical beaches to bustling cities, we’ll give you the inside scoop on where to go, what to see, and how to make the most of your time.
  • Packing Tips: Learn how to pack light and stylishly, no matter where your travels take you.
  • Fashion Inspiration: Travel in style with outfit ideas for every destination and occasion.
  • Cultural Experiences: Immerse yourself in different cultures through food, music, art, and local traditions.
  • Behind-the-Scenes Fun: Get a glimpse of the real, unfiltered moments that happen when you travel with a family.

Join the Adventure!

We’re so excited to have you join us on this new journey. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode. And don’t forget to follow us on Instagram for even more travel inspiration and daily updates.

Cheers to 38, new beginnings, and a whole lot of travel! 🥂

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Checked out the pumpkin trails at Halloween on the Checked out the pumpkin trails at Halloween on the Hill last week. 🎃 
Thank you to the team at Long Hill for hosting us!

A very important heads-up for my fellow mamas before you go: carriages and strollers are not allowed on the trails this year. Definitely plan to babywear or make sure your little ones have on their best walking shoes for the trek. 👟👻

Obligatory picture at the pumpkin wall at Wilson’s Obligatory picture at the pumpkin wall at Wilson’s Farm, because honestly... would I even be a New England content creator if we didn’t stop for a snap in front of this gorgeous autumnal masterpiece? 🎃🍂✨

Just taking in the view with my favorite little feline. We may have our backs to the camera, but I promise looking down at Aurora in her little October cat dress is the only view I really need anyway. Equal parts festive magic and everyday motherhood, wrapped up in the ultimate New England tradition.

Tell me—what is your absolute, non-negotiable fall photo op? 👇🥂

Even locals have rules about Salem in October—most Even locals have rules about Salem in October—mostly, stay far away and let the visitors have their moment. 

But when @DisneyAnimation invites you to check out their Hexed booth on the Salem Common? Well, even the most dedicated homebodies make an exception. And honestly? I am so glad we did.

There is nothing quite like an early Saturday morning stroll through this city when the crisp autumn air hits just right. We loved checking out the festive storefronts (shoutout to the spooky Dunks, though a little reminder to please support our incredible local indie cafes too—we have so many fabulous small businesses serving up life-changing pastries and local roast right here!).

We popped over to the Salem Common to experience the Hexed booth celebrating the upcoming release of this bewitching new Disney film, and it brought all the cozy, cinematic magic to our weekend.

Sometimes breaking your own rules pays off in gold (and a little bit of cinematic sparkle).

Plot twist: The most enchanting spooky season hidd Plot twist: The most enchanting spooky season hidden gem on the North Shore isn’t where you think. 🥀✨

Welcome back to another edition of Kate’s Take! Tucked right inside the charming galleries of the @wenhammuseum lives this permanent, three-foot-tall gothic masterpiece—and it is pure magic.

Lovingly handcrafted over eight years by the late Mrs. Mary Hinckley, this miniature Victorian mansion is an homage to Charles Addams’ iconic cartoons and the beloved 1960s TV series. Every parlor and winding hallway is dripping with macabre details—from Morticia and Gomez lounging in velvet chairs to Uncle Fester, Wednesday, and yes… even Thing lending a helping hand. 🖐️🖤

Skip the madness of crowded tourist streets and step into vintage, spooky nostalgia that’s perfect for both collectors and little dreamers alike.

Have you spotted this North Shore secret yet? Let me know in the comments, and don’t forget to save this for your October weekend itinerary!

Until next time, I am Fashionably Yours,

Kate

Come, we fly! Straight to Salem, of course. ✨ Sli Come, we fly! Straight to Salem, of course. ✨

Slipping on my chicest boots (and maybe a witch hat, for good measure) to run amok, amok, amok through the most iconic Hocus Pocus filming locations. There’s nothing like seeing the magic of your favorite Halloween movie come to life right here in my own backyard.

Ready to light the Black Flame Candle? Here’s where to find the magic:

🖤 The Ropes Mansion (Allison’s House) // 318 Essex St.
Still waiting on my invitation to the party at the chicest house in town. A girl can dream, can’t she? This colonial mansion is pure Salem glam.

💃 Old Town Hall (The Town Hall Party) // 32 Derby Sq.
You can practically hear Bette Midler casting a spell on the entire town. The site of the most legendary Halloween party in cinematic history. No contest.

🌳 Salem Common (Outdoor Scenes) // North Washington Sq.
The perfect spot for a crisp autumn stroll, plotting how to steal a spellbook from a trio of 17th-century witches. You know, a totally normal Tuesday.

🏫 Phillips Elementary School (Max & Allison’s School) // 84 Essex St.
Where it all began… and where Max learned the hard way not to mess with local legends. We’ve all had those high school moments. (Minus the witches, hopefully).

🏠 Max & Dani’s House // Ocean Avenue
The holy grail! That iconic witchy house with the turret is a private residence, so be a kind human and admire from a distance, darlings. Let’s not bother the current residents, no matter how badly you want to see the talking cat.

🍂 Pioneer Village (Thackery Binx’s Village) // 98 West Ave.
A step back to 1693 where our favorite immortal black cat’s story began. It’s charming, rustic, and just a little bit cursed.

Have you done a Hocus Pocus tour of Salem? It’s the ultimate way to get into the spooky spirit!

My girls are obsessed with @ghostbusters (clearly, they inherited their parents’ impeccable taste in cinema), and Arielle asked if we could visit the actual firehouse on our 2025 NYC trip.

My first thought: “It’s… real?”

Darlings, it is. And it’s iconic.

Hook & Ladder Company 8 @officialghostbustershq in Tribeca is a real, working fire station. So no, you can’t just waltz in and slide down the pole (I asked. Kidding. Mostly.), but you can live out your ‘80s movie-magic dreams, snag that perfect photo, and see the logo on the sidewalk.

It was a total New York first for me—even after living there!—and it was 100% my daughter’s idea.

Honestly, playing tourist in a city you thought you knew, all led by your kids? That’s its own kind of magic. ✨

Who you gonna call? 📞👻

What iconic movie spot should we hit next?
