Hey Mamas and Mammas-To-Be, I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what Evelyn’s future will look like and adversity or biases she may face because she’s a girl. When you have a child, you want to protect them from pain you’ve experienced, past regret and mistakes. Like any millennial parent I try to be cognizant […]
Travel Hacks To Keep Your Baby or Toddler Entertained
By mariapelletier on August 30, 2018Hi Mammas and MTB, After a love affair summer spent in New England we are hitching up and heading south for the winter. Our goal is to be in Florida by Christmas. Ideally, we only travel 3.5 hours between each destination so this is a realistic goal. With that said, our first big stop will […]
Oh Mammas, I don’t even know what to put in this post. Evelyn’s birthday party was a wonderful day and my heart was so full but like everything in motherhood, it wasn’t at all the day I had planned. I had visions of a beautifully set desert table with strawberry themed treats, and there was […]
Hi Mommas & MTB, I’ve been a whole lot of mush every night as Evelyn’s first birthday comes creeping closer and closer. I’m sad at how quickly things are going but also the older she gets the more we are able to bond and play together and so that’s been really fun. Her Stats: Weight: […]

By mariapelletier on July 12, 2018Mommas, The time is upon us – swimsuit season. When I was packing for our year long adventure in the trailer, I had packed the suits I had purchased when pregnant. I’d bought nicer quality, better material suits and justified the purchase as none of them were maternity suits so I could wear them postpartum […]

By mariapelletier on June 28, 2018Hey Guys, We are a month into “fun-employment” and the question we get asked the most is how we are able to take year off from working. By no means are we financial experts but as a daughter of a Wealth Manager and a husband who is Ebenezer Scrooge I do have some tips and […]
I think back to this past (almost) year of motherhood and I am so so thankful for my partner. Actually, I should back that up even farther – the past two years if I count my pregnancy. I am so grateful. I want to give the biggest hug to all the single mommas out there doing […]
Our First Week on the Road – Visiting the New York Finger Lakes
By mariapelletier on June 14, 2018You would think that Tim and I had thought out our route more before hitting the road but it was actually only a few days before we left NH that we picked our first stop. We decided to stay in the New England area, so we were close to home if any issues with the […]
