Christmas in New York

Mitch here!

Leaving the 9-to-5 world has its perks:

  1. I get to make breakfast for my family every day.
  2. I can do things like embark on a #30daysofpants challenge, during which I endeavor to wear pants every single day for a whole month. (Actually, probably could have done that in the 9-to-5 world, too.)
  3. I can book last minute, super cheap, middle-of-the-week flights.

An Emma Update: The Toddler Years

Mitch here!

It’s been 16 months since we welcomed a teeny baby into our home. And in the time it took for me to wrap my head around the fact that I had a baby, she turned into a kid. As clichéd as this is to say, it goes by so quickly.

What are your Favorite Holiday Traditions?

My Pajamas (Also here, and pants only here. And I love the black watch plaid version, which is also available here!) / Emma’s Pajamas (But just got her these and SO excited about it! And how cute is the gingham version?!)

It’s been quite the month. The holidays are my busiest time of the year, and thus I’m already sick and worn out. 😂 Still, experiencing Christmas–which is somehow only 13 days away–through the eyes of my daughter has been truly magical, and Mitch and I make it our mission to do something festive and fun with Emma every day!

Central Park in December

Vineyard Vines Jolly Plaid Cashmere Plaid Button-Down, Cashmere Cable-Knit Sweater, Emma’s Plaid Top (More sizes here!) and Quilted Vest (More sizes here!), and Mitch’s Plaid Button-Down (More sizes here!) c/o Vineyard Vines / Velvet Leggings (Spanx has a great version, too. Also have/love these, which are only $49! The Commando pair comes in leather, too.) / Block Heel Pumps (If they’re sold out, they’re also available at Zappos. And this pair, this pair, and this pair are super close. I also adore this pair of bow pumps and this pair of bow-tie pumps.) / Mitch’s Blazer / Emma’s Mary Janes / Red Plaid Scarf

Mitch and I (and Emma) flew to New York last week to see family for the holidays. It was a super short and quickly planned trip, and I wish we could have stayed longer to see everyone. But we’ll be back! Still hoping to spend a longer chunk of time there in late spring or early summer. :)

While Mitch is going to do a full recap of the trip later this week (he’s almost done with it!), I couldn’t help but post a few pics from Central Park in December a little early.

Preppy Christmas Decor

Looking for preppy Christmas decor?! Scroll down to see how we decked the halls this year!

If you saw our Insta Stories from our downtown holiday adventure last week, you probably know that Emma and I love shopping together. It’s so much fun, especially now that she can walk… and wander the aisles with me. ;) Yes, it’s a lot of work running after a toddler, but goodness. This is what dreams are made of, haha!
