What I Read in 2022

Caitlin December 28, 2022

I’m really excited to share my complete reading list from 2022 for two reasons. First, I read 27 books this year, and I’m pretty darn proud of that. My past few years have been quite frankly abysmal in terms of the amount I was able to read, so reading over two books per month is quite an accomplishment for this working mom of two. Secondly, it’s been a very, very long time since I was …

Legoland, New York

Caitlin August 23, 2022

We’ve now visited Legoland, New York, twice with our kiddos, so I thought I’d put together a little guide to some of our favorite things to do at Legoland with kids under 4. I’ll be focusing on which rides and activities at Legoland NY are best for little kids. We also stayed the night at the Legoland Resort, so I’ll include my review of the hotel as well. The Best Rides at Legoland for Little …

Bar Harbor, Maine with Kids

Caitlin August 11, 2022

Bar Harbor is one of our favorite places in the world to visit, which is why we have taken an annual trip there for almost 10 years now. A few years back, I wrote a piece on my favorite things to do in Bar Harbor, but I thought it was worth writing an update now that we have a 3-year-old and a baby to share some of our favorite things to do in Bar Harbor …

My Favorite Books for 3-Year-Olds

Caitlin January 19, 2022

The person with the fastest growing book collection in my house is definitely my 3-year-old. These are some of our favorite picture books, by which I mean they are as enjoyable for me to read as they are for him to hear. You can see some of my favorite books for 2-year-olds here, all of which we are still also reading. The FortThis is one of our newest additions and immediately became a favorite. A …

How I Read More Books in 2021

Caitlin January 13, 2022

I shared at the end of last year how 2020 was not a good reading year for me. At the start of 2021, I was determined to get back into the habit of reading, and came up with a plan to do so. What’s important to know about me is that although I didn’t read much in 2020, that doesn’t mean I didn’t buy any books. I have an Amazon wishlist that I check pretty …

My Favorite Books for 2-Year-Olds

Caitlin January 4, 2021

As I mentioned in a previous post, 2020 has not been a great reading year for me. But while I didn’t read very much for myself, I did read a ton to my toddler. I’ve rounded up our favorite finds of the year. My toddler likes us to read mostly picture books at this point. We still sometimes read board books, but his interest is more with picture books now, so you’ll see that reflected …

My Favorite Books of 2020

Caitlin December 30, 2020

2020 was a hard reading year for me. I know that for some people the global pandemic and stay-at-home orders led to a boom in reading, but I experienced quite the opposite. When COVID-19 shutdowns began, I found myself totally disinterested in reading and much more interested in building a happy little world of animal friends in Animal Crossing. We each cope in our own way. That said, I did manage to read a few …

My Favorite Books of 2019

Caitlin December 13, 2019

It’s been a good year for reading. Several of my favorite authors had new releases, and I happened on a pretty high quota of new voices I enjoyed. Here are my favorites, in the order that I read them.   Early Riser by Jasper Fforde Oh Jasper, how I have missed you. I have been a lover of Mr. Fforde’s books for years. It doesn’t hurt that he seems to have chosen to write about …

Sognefjord in a Nutshell & Flam, Norway

Caitlin October 7, 2019

When traveling to Norway, everyone asks if you’re going to see the fjords. So when planning our trip, I researched all different ways to visit them. Eventually, I settled on the Sognefjord in a Nutshell tour for a few reasons. 1) We could take it roundtrip from Bergen, which easily fit into our itinerary. 2) We could experience the fjord from the water via a ferry and Norway’s countryside via a scenic railway journey. The …

Bergen, Norway

Caitlin October 7, 2019

After our stay in Copenhagen, we took a short flight to Bergen, Norway. Norway is such a huge and beautiful country and we absolutely need to go back and see more of it! I truly had such a hard time deciding what cities we should visit and could have planned a month-long trip. We rented this gorgeous Airbnb in Bergen. It was a family home, which showed in the attention to detail for kids. There …
