The last blogpost of our Switzerland series, a full month after we’ve come back. For the labor day “long weekend” we finished off our trip with 4 days at the Marchenhotel in Braunwald. I admit I fully got influenced by all the instagram reels which made me want to book this trip approximately 7 days…
Wengen & Spiez, Switzerland
Squeezing these last Switzerland blogposts, a month later! I only have technically 5 weeks of maternity leave before heading back to work. Time flies! I was hoping to extend the time if I had left my company, but unfortunately the job market is a little rough and nothing else in the market is interesting enough…
Mannlichen, Switzerland
In 2021, when I first had S, I had exactly 0 mom friends. I had a co-worker I was close to (who is now still a good friend) who had a baby, and who talked me through her birthing / etc experiences, but other than that I truly knew no one except instagram acquaintances who…
Gimmelwald & Grindelwald
Good morning! As I am writing these posts in quick(ish) succession, there is not much to update about in our lives since the last post, although I did want to take a moment to brag about M! This past weekend he swum over 3 miles across the Hudson River (from Nyack to Sleepy Hollow)…and came…
Murren & Allmendhubel
There’s a universal hatred of recipe blogs where the author talks about their life for paragraphs and before you finally get access to the recipe…but I am going to do basically the same thing and talk about my life, because this blog is for me and my measly # of friend and family followers who…
Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
After much research, we decided to base our home base in the Jungfrau region in Lauterbrunnen. It ended up being the most well connected to all the little villages we wanted to go to, had enough going on in the town center where we were able to eat out or get groceries, and still wasn’t…
2025 Switzerland Trip Overview
Baby C just came back from her first plane trip, and first international trip! It was also our first big trip as a family of 5. Surprisingly, it was the easiest trip we’ve ever taken – maybe our standards have just lowered, and we’re much more lax about compromised sleep schedules. It also helps that…
one (last) little update
Hello reader! I have RISEN FROM THE DEAD. The last blogpost I wrote was on Quebec City, last August…which was the last trip we took before I got pregnant (literally found out a week later). Since then, I have been in a haze the entire time….but now that baby C has been evicted, I am…
Quebec City, Quebec
This is the last blogpost of the summer! When I started this summer I had two goals: gently test the job market, and get my (mental and physical) health back in shape. In that vein, I purposefully paused on goal #1 during August to focus on goal #2, which resulted in more kid-free trips in…
Cleveland, Ohio & Cuyahoga National Park
We certainly take advantage of all the amazing things around us. I love our current location because we’re a quick 28 minute train ride right into Grand Central, a 30 minute drive to the UWS (aka the Lincoln Center, and even Times Square) or UES depending on traffic, a 20 minute drive to all the…
