Welcome!

We are Annie and Sarah, two far-flung friends, helping you navigate the nest & launch life* with whatever panache, humor, and verve we can all muster. 

Nest & Launch (est. 2013) is our virtual kitchen table, a place to both be inspired and be honest. We love our community of engaged, fabulous N&L readers. Thanks for reading! If you’re new here, welcome! Pull up a chair and say hi.

*nest & launch life=the era of many hats and multiple balloons in the air as we nest and launch simultaneously. Enjoying family life and adjusting to parenting at a distance. Tending to relationships, launching our children, adding new in-laws and grandbabies to the mix. Nurturing and launching our own pursuits, from grad school to career changes to diving into the next creative project.
Cue the circus music.

Nest & Launch is an Amazon affiliate, which means that when you click one of our links to an Amazon product on our blog (usually books, in our case!) it links through our affiliate account and if you buy that product, we get a tiny bit of credit.

If you'd like to bypass the affiliate link, simply type in the web address yourself rather than clicking the link. 

We only link to products we know and love.  We haven't done any sponsored content but if we ever do, we will be clear about it.
