Last weekend, G and I took Sloan to Northern California to visit her grandparents (previously known as my parents). While she's currently in a phase of running everywhere and could barely sit still for the entire seven-hour car ride, the break in routine and fresh redwood air was a welcome respite from the city, and a calm before a busy week of packing and preparing for our next trip! More details on that to come Monday. 

P.S. Next week, we'll be publishing a week's worth of summer-themed articles, from the best drink to take to the beach to the one thing I always pack when traveling. Stay tuned for Summer Week!

Suffice to say, I'm already in full blown Halloween mode, setting up decorations around the house, preparing Sloan's first costume and eating candy like it's my last meal. It'll pretty much be like this for the next few months, so I've resigned myself to being in a high-glycemic ...read more

I feel like the last 14 days have been nothing but a haze of illness (my dad even got the flu while he was visiting us last weekend, poor guy). Typically what happens is I get sick and G remains stalwart in health, his immunity almost never succumbing to seasonal bugs. But we ...read more
