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…
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…
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…
Yosemite National Park (2024)
The last leg of our California roadtrip (which, by now feels like a lifetime ago) was a few days in Yosemite over July 4th weekend. We rented a Marriott property which was a cabin in the park, which was definitely the right move since the park is huge and would’ve taken an hour to drive…
Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks
The summer feels like it’s flying by. I’ve just come back from a girls’ week in Cleveland, Ohio (a blog post will be coming on that soon – don’t sleep on Ohio!), and have been catching up on various interviews and life admin. It feels like we’ve just returned from our CA roadtrip, but in…
Pinnacles National Park
We had a wedding ~40 minutes away from Pinnacles, so visited for a day trip to knock out another NP off our list. We got the National Parks Stamps Passport when S was born and have basically done everything on the east coast, so revel in the opportunity to get a stamp at a new…
Glacier National Park
Happy almost-fall! These last few weeks have been a strange mix of sitting, starting school again, and getting back into the routine of the life of a student. 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…
