Welcome
Hither & Thither is a lifestyle and travel blog written by Ashley Muir Bruhn and her husband, Aron Bruhn. Since its inception, the site has grown to feature design, food, family, style, New York, and everything in between. Hither & Thither is about having an adventure, wherever you are.
Ashley and Aron met as undergraduates at UC Davis, and pursued their graduate and professional studies together in Los Angeles; five years later, weeks after their wedding, they moved across the country to Manhattan, where Aron is completing his Urologic Surgery residency at NYU and Ashley is a freelance writer and editor. In July of 2011, they welcomed their baby boy Hudson into their 500-square-foot studio. Ashley chronicled much of her pregnancy on her site, Baby Mine, and has since added parenthood and family to the scope of Hither & Thither.
We began writing in an effort to remember our newlywed years in New York City (a place that felt completely foreign when we first arrived) and to stay in touch with friends and family; but we have gotten so much more out of the site than we had ever imagined.
Thank you for stopping by!
We would love to hear from you

Hi Ashley!
Your Mom told me about your blog and I looked at it tonight. It is fantastic. I feel like I am right there with you!
Hudson is beautiful. It will be great to meet him in person when you visit!
The pictures you take are so clear. What kind of a camera are you using? The color is so lifelike.
Well now I will keep reading ! I grew up in Rhode Island and went to college in Boston and spent a lot of time in NYC.
This is a great way to visit.
Love to you all,
Deb

Hey Ashley & Aron,
It’s been a while since I made my blog rounds, and it was fantastic to see what you’ve done with the place!!! I love the re-design, content and general excitement. Good luck with your travel plans for August, and I can’t wait to hear how it goes. We’re thinking about Japan for this year. It’s been top on our list for a while.
A much-belated thank you, Jamie! It was so nice to see you again at the brunch. Will be on the look-out for photos of Japan…
Hey there!
My name is Molly, and I work for FoundIt!, you wrote a review for us back in November. We really appreciate it! I was hoping you’d be able to follow us on Pinterest, http://pinterest.com/foundittoday/
We are following you on Pinterest now too!
Thanks!
Dear Ashely,
Your blog covers so many wonderful finds and reviews. I work as the project manager at Despaña Fine Foods & Tapas Cafe and Despaña Vinos y Mas. Our stores feature food, products and wine from Spain and our mantra is to bring authentic Spain to NYC. So many customers search us out after they have traveled to Spain and upon their return to the NY are seeking the relive their experience. We are planning a very special and unique event in which enthusiasts of Spanish ham can learn how to carve their own leg of ham from master carvers. I was wondering if you ever feature editorials or announce special events such as this. If so, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss our event with you.
Thank you

Hello! I’m the children’s librarian at the Mulberry Street Library… One of my co-workers recognized you from your blog this morning (!!!) and pointed me to it. What a beautiful site you have.
Hudson is such a cutie–I’ll be keeping an eye out for his little car here in the Children’s Room. Also, I just ordered a Sakura Bloom sling for our own baby #2 after reading your list of baby essentials! Hoping to see you and Hudson again soon, -Susie
Thanks, Susie! How funny! I look forward to story time every week, now and cross my fingers that Hudson’s nap schedule keeps allowing us to make it in time. See you soon!
