Handing it over to Mitch!

Mitch here!

Hello from New York City! Well, hello from a train in the middle of New Jersey, to be more exact. Kelly and I are taking on the East Coast in typical Larkin Blitzkrieg Fashion. Our lives are still entrenched in this area, and anytime we visit, we pack way too much in. In these three days, we hope to visit with Kelly’s family, galavant around the city (Kelly loves galavanting), pack at least 15 meals into two days, and, most importantly, attend a great friend’s wedding.

How to Take Family Photos (And Be in Them!)

By Mitch Larkin

Mitch here!

As the Kelly in the City Resident Nerd, I’m typically tasked all tech-related questions. To be honest, I usually fail–or even make things worse–when I get down to problem solving, but I never go down without a fight. A few weeks ago, though, I figured out something techy that’s really cool! And while I think it’ll be helpful for bloggers, I also think it’s great for normal people, too. ;)

Easy Weekend Look

NIC + ZOE

Chunky Knit Sweater, Leggings and Flexible Loafers (They come in lots of colors!) c/o

First of all, thank you so much for the birthday wishes yesterday! You’re the best. :)

I’ll share some pics of my weekend in the coming days–thank you for everything, Mitch!–but I guess my big news is that I finally went to an ENT specialist for the sinus infections.

Happy Birthday, Kelly!

Happy Birthday, Kelly!

Original post here

By Mitch Larkin

Mitch here!

Kelly doesn’t know I’m writing this post and it’s days like this when I could end up losing my password privileges. You see, we’re one of those weird couples who basically have the same birthday. Kelly’s is today and mine is Thursday, and while I’m not a scientist or anything, I’m pretty sure that makes her older than me. So today I hacked into her website to give my senior counterpart (who’s hundreds of thousands of seconds older than me) the day off to rest her tired bones. She deserves it. She’s the most amazing person I know. And she’s older than me.

Musings, 10/6

Navy L.L.Bean Bean Boots (Looking for the the most comfortable pair of Bean Boots?! Boots made with tumbled leather are phenomenal.) / Barbour Jacket (Here’s the polar quilted version, which is much warmer.) / Favorite Fisherman Sweater / Camp Socks

Hi, Friends! I took a few days off to give myself a break and recover from my millionth sinus infection this season 😂, and I’m definitely making progress. (Though I realize I say that every week and then BAM: sick again.) I have an appointment with a specialist on Monday, though, so I’m excited to get professional opinions and start to talk about my options–despite how scared I am. ;)
