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…

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…
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…

I am working part-time (15 hrs a week) as a pricing strategy consultant, which keeps my weeks busy. Otherwise, just being a student and not getting the…
Boston Bucket-List
We’ve finally moved to Boston (more on that here). New York City felt infinite and endless – there was almost too much going on at all times. Just when we got the hang of the city though, it was time to move on. Perhaps we’ll be back again some day, perhaps not – the next time we’ll…
Money Diaries: Week of August 7
I am so excited for the month of August. Now that I’ve finished the FIRST YEAR OF GRAD SCHOOL (somehow) and many of my extracurriculars are taking a hiatus for a month, I’m excited to be a real person with real adult freedom (and yes, I am still working a full-time job…it just feels so…
Costa Rica
June 13-19 Five girls with very minimal Spanish abilities survived a week in the jungle. Amazing. ML (one of the girls on the trip) and I were talking about taking another trip together, since we tend to travel together at least once a year! As we’re both budget-savvy travelers, we searched our options for the…
