I wanted to share a month-by-month look at some of the highlights from the year! I realize they basically all have to do with traveling, our home, and of course, family and friends.

January

We moved into #SchmiedskiGreystone! See the before tour here and here.

March

Get to meet the first baby born among my group of girlfriends… I’ve known baby girl’s mom since we were 12 years old. Surreal life moment.

 

 

April

Dan and I took our delayed honeymoon to Paris and London! It was muuuuch colder than it should have been for this time of year, but we had an amazing time!

And Dan and I got some news!

 

And I was basically horizontal (with Tucker always by my side) due to extreme exhaustion for weeks 5-6. Dan actually started a photo series of me sleeping… haha

 

October

Went back to Paris for the second time in 2017 to attend my cofounder and friend Danielle Moss’ wedding!

And ate at least one croissant a day since when you’re pregnant in Paris, the food and drink options I’d usually enjoy were seriously limited!
