Courtney, I am so thrilled for you and Wyatt and your beautiful family. My decades living in Tribeca and the West Village as a Vogue (and Bazaar) editor and writer (and then in Park Slope with my twin sister and her husband, who is Wyatt-level amazing, and their infant baby girl who they named after me) shaped me, defined me and grew me as a woman. Holding you up from California, and planning exact same move home to NYC because my children will thrive there in the real world too.
Ohmygoodness I can relate to the cheerleader aspect of this so, so much. My husband and I moved to New York from Colorado last year and it was very much the same thing. He grew up there, his parents lived down the road, he thought we had it made and I was not happy. So after years of discussion we made it out here and now I find myself as the constant cheerleader. He has frequent bad days and "omg what did we do?" and "did we make a mistake coming here?" and so I feel like I'm never allowed to have a bad day. I'm never allowed to falter on the decision. Even though moving is one of the hardest, most stressful things we do as humans. I feel like I'm not allowed to show that. It's tough sometimes.
I'm late to chime in, but hats off to you for taking this big plunge and making it work. You will never regret not having this grand adventure, and your children will thank you for showing them the world.
I love this journey for you and inspired that I could do the same with kids someday! 💕

I moved there at age 30 for the exact same reason (wanting to be able to look back and remember a chapter there) and it was so worth it. Enjoy it!!

I spy a certain lighthouse welcome basket 🧺 — excited for y’all but also glad to have a fellow newbie around for when this city beats my ass.
