I’ll keep this short and sweet. I love shopping. Like a lot. Retail therapy is a genuine pastime of mine so I feel #blessed to dress my mini. I wanted to put together a list of my go to websites for baby clothes that fit Wakely’s sunshine vibes. The criteria is simple: bright colors, comfy…
“COVID-Safe” San Francisco Activities for Families with Kids
Traveling in a pandemic is hard. Traveling with children in a pandemic is even harder. I’ve had a lot of time over the last few weeks to explore my home town, a city that relies heavily on tourism. San Francisco has always had a lot to offer but I never realized just how great of…
Treat Yo’ Self California Resorts
We all need a vacation. If you have to ask from what? I would return your question with another question, Where have you been living for the last nine months and do you have room for one more? Socially distanced, of course. Flights, family visits, and even road trips may be on pause but if…
What I’ve Learned About Pregnancy, Delivery, and Postpartum
I’m going to preface this post with something you may hate me for… I had an easy pregnancy. No, that isn’t to brag (trust me, it’s gotten me a lot of evil looks over the last nine and a half months), it’s to warn that any advice or tips I give here are about keeping…

Supplementing Distance Learning for Elementary Grades
Hello teachers, parents, and care givers! School looks a lot different today than it did three weeks ago. It’s draining, difficult, uncertain, anxiety-ridden, and really, it’s never been done before. We are incredibly fortunate to be living in the year 2020 where so much technology is at our finger tips. Here is a small fraction…
4 Days in Savannah
No teacher becomes a teacher in order to have those delicious spring and summer (okay, and fall and winter) breaks but I’d be lying if it doesn’t keep us locked in once we start. (JK, kids, I love my job but mama’s gotta take it easy every once in a while). Today we discuss the…
Creating a Five Year Plan
Happy 2020, everyone! As mentioned in my recent Instagram post, I started writing the bones of a five year plan yesterday (me?! Love a plan? Wild) and it got me both giddy with anticipation yet anxious for all the things that may never be. Luke and I want many things from life – some that…
Crowdsourced List of Liberal American Towns
A few weeks ago I took to our Instagram Stories to poll the crowd with a question that’s been tickling the back of my mind for years… What are the best liberally-minded towns (small cities) in America? I have loved being a city girl but the truth is, the razzle dazzle of a bustling city can…
