One of my favorite places in the world is Lake Champlain! It sits between New York and Vermont and has that perfect mix of mountains, water, and small town charm. We’ve also been spending time on lakes in western CT and have found so much peace there!

Read moreThe idea for this travel inspired nursery came straight from real life. In the summer of 2024, we packed up and traveled with our two daughters who were 1.5 and 4.5 at the time. From California to Connecticut, t was busy and stretching in the best way. Seeing the world through their eyes made me fall in love with traveling all over again.

When I was pregnant with my girls, putting their nurseries together was one of my favorite parts of preparing for motherhood. Maybe it was the chaotic nesting energy, because I have never had the urge to decorate, clean, or organize again.
These days, some families are choosing to wait a bit before sharing their big news with the world. And when they do announce—oh, what a beautiful surprise it is. One of my favorite ways I’ve seen parents share their joy? With a nursery reveal.
