Love this reflection! We definitely need a “traveling to Europe with a toddler” post! My husband and I are wanting to do this in 2025 with our 18 month old.

Working on it for sometime in the next few weeks! It’s tough but so worth it

Oo thank you! We're taking our two kids to Ireland in September and I can't wait but also I'm nervous. Taking our son to Italy when he was 1 was SO fun so I'm looking forward to our trip.

Thank you for sharing! Would love if we could see a template for your outfit tracking - I’m obsessed with the idea but not a spreadsheet wiz and you seem to have it down to a science!

i was also going to ask about this - i’d pay for it even! i don’t love any of the apps for outfit tracking, & those graphics you did for a Q1 wardrobe recap post… i came back to those all year long

YES! It’s just a spreadsheet and I worked with my brother (an actual accountant) to update it for this year to make the analyzing part easier. I’m making a few more tweaks to make the template easy to follow and customize but I should have something to share in January!

Okay, wait...I think you and I are Substack-kindred-spirits. I also love The Reset and Platonic Love! The Reset was my first Substack subscription and eventually led to me starting my own as well!

I'm also a postpartum mama - currently have two under two (woooof haha). This was full of so many links and recommendations that I am bookmarking/taking in/coming back to.

Brb, subscribing to you now!! ;)

You go mama! The early years of child raising are so immersive, I love your intention around care for yourself amidst all of the changes. I also love seeing people travel with kids! So many people told me I would have to stop traveling when I had my son. He’s now 3 and has visited 7 countries.

Highly recommended opening your home to coffee mornings! We started doing that this year and those mornings are some of my happiest memories <3

Ooo I'm thinking of starting this for our neighborhood - I think you and Maggie have pushed me over the edge on it.

I have been doing define (the Pilates and strength one) for the last few cycles and really like it especially for being able to complete at home or in a gym. Also have really enjoyed align with Sasha (a Seattle friend who is an amazing yoga teacher and marathoner!)
