To all our friends with kids of similar age or for those who are just starting out—we wanted a place to share our stories and tips with you (+ hear yours).

Here are the best things we’ve learned, experienced, made, and bought to stay sane as “newbie” parents.

You’ll find recipes, toys, books, travel and local tips — basically any parenting advice we found useful.

We’re a small family living in DC. Pretty much all posts have been written by an insomniac, sleep-deprived mom at 3am in a pandemic, so please forgive any poorly written nonsense.

Other great cities we’ve called home —San Francisco, Mountain View, Amsterdam, Los Angeles and New York.

Thanks for stopping by!
