Mitch here!
Kelly is galavanting across the Bahamas with Vineyard Vines on yacht this week, and despite my predilection towards beaches and marine mammals, I’m not jealous at all! I have Emma in Chicago and all is right with the world.
Okay, I’m a little jealous. I mean, I like the Bahamas. At least I think I would if I ever got the chance to go. And I love Vineyard Vines, too. What I’m trying to say is that it’s okay for Kelly to go have this once-in-a-lifetime trip in paradise but, like, how could she just leave us like this?! I don’t even know how to dress Emma and I’m a really bad at singing Wheels on the Bus. Screw it! I’m not doing the dishes at all this week.
Take that!
All jokes aside, Kelly is spending the week with Vineyard Vines and The Moorings to like really explore the ins and outs of the islands while the rest of us sit up here in the cold and try to remember what the sun looks like. I mean, honestly, where does she get off?! She better bring me back something nice.
So what will Emma and I be up to in our stead? Daddy/Daughter Week is what! We have big plans. No, we don’t plan on dressing up like Little Orphan Annie and Daddy Warbucks every day. (These photos were for a blog collaboration, haha.) But the zoo, park, lake, choo-choo and Children’s Museum are all on the table. Or maybe we’ll just lay around watching Mary Poppins all day. Who knows?!
So follow along on the blog this week for a few Mitch posts and be sure to follow along with Kelly’s Instagram if you’re into adventurous travel, preppy fashion, natural splendor, yachts and general gaiety.
Oh yeah, and I’m taking over the blog this week. We’ll see how THAT goes.
(Suggestions on what to write about tomorrow?!)
Mitch. Out!
I love you two! Your husband and wife team (and whole family) are the best! Any advice for my husband for when we have kids? I’ve tried to tell him horror stories to tell him how bad it can get, but can you share some positive and negatives about having kids, and how you deal on weeks like this on your own?

Hi Ryann! This is a great idea for a blog post! Maybe I’ll use it the next time Kelly abandons us to hang out in the tropics ;) I could go on and on but please tell your husband that despite the difficulties, having a kid is easily the best thing I’ve ever done (aside from marrying Kelly). It gets better every day!
Just share a day in the life and recipes every day…you’re hilarious and I’m sure it would be entertaining. Good luck!
Thanks for the idea! I’ve been meaning to write a new day in the life piece. Recipes may be tough as Emma and I have been eating only Doritos since Kelly left…
Blog topic: what will you and Emma eat & how will you incorporate in daily health/wellness? I know you’re doing activities but what else? How will you get work done? Who will help? Do you exercise? What’s your fav brunch/lunch spots in the city? Is that enough questions? All ideas. Kelly’s trip sounds amazing!
Kelly!! These are such awesome suggestions. I am literally copying/pasting them into my to-do list. You are the best! And no, no exercise this week :( Unless, does being awake for 20 hours a day count as exercise?
There’s more Mitch than Kelly posts these days.. They’re so entertaining!
Sorry!! and thanks? hahah
