Exploring the world and embracing our curiosity
Endless lists, store recommendations, books, videos - you name it. You've probably read and watched all the lists of the must-haves and the you-can-skip items for your upcoming baby. The truth is that every baby is different! We've been super lucky that our little one is not picky when it comes to many baby items…
Having a baby in the NICU is challenging. It certainly was for us - especially for those first time NICU parents who had no idea what to expect (that was us!). Whether you'll be in the NICU for 3 weeks or 3 months, it makes the journey easier when you're packed and prepared for your…
"What's the theme?" Honestly, I never know how to answer this - it usually just ends up being me rambling different descriptors: modern & natural, neutral with pops of color, Scandi-inspired, soft, fresh. It all started with the changing table dresser I picked up from Craigslist years ago (and painted navy) and the Crate &…
Yes+ When those words showed up on the digital early pregnancy test, after taking a couple of recently expired regular ones, I knew it was true. My first positive ever. "Alright then." Between my husband and I - we both can be emotional and non-emotional at the same time. What you would imagine would generate…
2020. What an interesting year. Certainly one that many of us will not forget. Majority of the year has been spent mostly at home for many people. Even going out to shop or eat, people are traveling less, spending more time at home and in general, socializing less too. Front porch photos were becoming a…
If you had told me during my first trip to Japan that I'd get the chance to go back so soon, I wouldn't have believed you. But when I received the notification on Thanksgiving in 2019 for $600 roundtrip flights from Atlanta>Tokyo, I couldn't pass it up. Except this time, my mom was my travel…
Over the years, I always start the 365 project but I never seem to finish. It's quite a difficult challenge to be honest - and if the goal is to take photos with my actual camera, that makes it harder. I had a great run though I must say for 2019. So a little about…
Long lines. Extra fees. Baggage claim. Skip that - I'm an avid fan of the carry-on bag. But one thing that can be challenging - getting ALL of your stuff into that one small roller bag. I know, you never know the occasion, or you’ve been looking for a place to wear those cute new…

Velkommen til Norge After visiting Iceland for an extended layover in May of 2018, we hopped over to Bergen, Norway on a short flight - officially one of my favorite cities in the world. During our travels in Hordaland, we spent 3.5 days there, one of which we rented a car and headed out to the fjord…

Iceland, a Nordic island nation, with unique landscapes and gorgeous views. As part of our Norway adventure in late May, we decided to add on a little side excursion to Iceland, since it seemed it would be a layover anyways... and totally worth it. During our two days (and two days within the almost-Midnight Sun…
