Can I pray for you?
Tomorrow morning we head out bright and early with one sweet but angrily-teething baby (who will be assuring our otherwise glamorous trip remains firmly categorized as “pilgrimage”) and 2 suitcases. We’re connecting through NYC and then straight…
Have baby, will travel
This is a little fluffier than last time, because I like to keep you guys on your toes. Also, because I’m staring down the barrel of packing for 10 days with a messy 13 month old and no…
7 quick takes: oldschool
Remember when blogging was just basically long Facebook statuses? And bloggers wrote about mundane minutia and nothing was brand conscious or beautiful or filtered? Sometimes I miss those days. I think readers do too? I’m not saying I…
Flying with kids (hint: grab a drink and drop those expectations nice and low)
I’m delirious with excitement (and a little bit of denial, apparently? Because I’m woefully behind in laundry so packing remains but a glimmer in the hazy future) because Luke and I are venturing eastward for my first…

Pilgrim Up
We’re leaving tomorrow morning at 7 am, so naturally, I’m not quite done packing. Nor are my dishes done, but eh, what are frantic 11pm housecleaning sessions for? What I am doing right now is camping out…

Starbucks and Target and Walmart, Oh My…
Alive and oh-so-well in the Mile High City. Unrelated image of a baby with a miniature pint glass. Can’t decide which is cuter. We don’t have internet at the house (House! A house! With a yard! And…
5 Favorites, With a Brogue
Coming at you live from one very comfortable hotel room in Dublin City center, where we opted for a 2 day layover to break up the transatlantic madness and soak in a little heritage, to boot. Linking…
