Family road trip through Morocco

January 14, 2022.Reading time 22 minutes.

In November 2021 we packed up two carry-ons and three kids (ages 1, 4, and 6) and flew to Morocco for a seven day road trip! Morocco had been on our travel bucket list for a while… beautiful architecture, gorgeous tiles, the Sahara dessert, RUGS! When we saw flights for under $400 round trip, we […]

Our 10 Day Car Camping Adventure with Toddlers!

August 21, 2018.Reading time 12 minutes.

We did it! We just wrapped up our 10 day camping adventure in Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. It was a whirlwind of quick stops, tent set ups, camp meals, and long drives. We had a blast exploring the Rocky Mountains and the southwest desert. Our first stop was the Great Sand Dunes. After camping at […]

Rajasthan Part 1: Jaipur

April 21, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

In January, we took two carry-ons and our two kids and went to India for a month. We spent the bulk of the month in New Delhi, where Josh was working, but we also had a chance to explore Agra, Mumbai, and Rajasthan during our stay. My favorite part of our trip was the week […]

How many millions will never march?

January 23, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

I did not participate in the Women’s March on Saturday, and I am loath to support it as a bystander. I do not write this to shame those who did participate. Many women who marched did so with genuinely good intentions. I too am concerned about President Trump’s objectification of women. That was one of […]

“I don’t think he’s going to fit!” (aka Winston’s birth story)

November 20, 2016.Reading time 7 minutes.

Sweet Ella is due in less than a month. I can’t believe it. As I prepare for her impending arrival, I’ve been reminiscing about the day Winston was born. I never wrote down his birth story, and I figure I better do that now before Ella comes and all the details get mixed up. Josh […]

On Fall and Homemaking (but mostly photos of apple picking…)

October 15, 2016.Reading time 8 minutes.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to “make a home.” For me and Josh, home is somewhat transient concept. We have a home in Cambridge, two loving homes in Colorado, and we spend a notable chunk of our lives on the road. The concept of “home” is also complicated because we know we’ll only spend another year and a […]

Take your toddler to Iceland!

September 30, 2016.Reading time 20 minutes.

While I was planning our trip to Iceland, I read several forums and columns that suggested you shouldn’t take your children to Iceland because they might “slow you down.” That’s just silly. And wrong. And a load of you-know-what. We had an awesome vacation in Iceland with Winston, and I think that Iceland is a great travel destination for any adventure-seeking […]
