When a stranger offers to take a photo of you and your boys and it ends up being a framer 🫶🏻🥹 Jack is at the perfect age for fun adventures like a trip to the farm (and not just any ole farm, @oldmcdonaldhasafarm!). 🌽 🐄 🐷 👩🏻🌾 We fed the cows, played with the kittens, said hello to bunnies, watched piggies race, saw one month old calves… so much fun for an almost three year old! (And Rory is more than happy to come along for the ride!)
The @ackreds x @tuckernuck collection is what Nantucket dreams are made of! My favorite #tuckernucking silhouette in iconic Nantucket Reds™️
When @georgiemorley takes the best photos of your baby 🫶🏻 #tuckernucking (on the blog today!)
I have been an avid audiobook listener for years. @audible makes it so easy to listen to books by my favorite authors, and discover my next favorite read. Now through 7/31, @audible Prime members can try three months free of an Audible Premium Plus membership; find out more in the link in my bio. I just started The Cliffs by J. Courtney Sullivan 🎧– what should I listen to next??? #ad #audible #audiblepartner #primeday #amazoninfluencer
Reposting because my brother in law was right, this is the better photo and I want it on my grid!! Can we pretend like it’s the first time you’re seeing it 🙊
@mackenziechilds’ biggest and best sale of the year is here! Now through July 22, get up to 60% off iconic MacKenzie-Childs pieces. Whether you’re an avid collector or picking out the first piece for your collection, this is THE time to get the best pieces at the best prices. #MCPartner
The night this photo was taken was one of the most beautiful evenings– we had dinner with our friends outside at Millie’s. Taking turns bouncing Rory and keeping Jack on track to eat his dinner. I couldn’t tell you a single thing that was discussed between rushed bites and standing up and sitting back down only to stand back up again. (In my memory, I was just completely preoccupied with trying to keep Rory out of the sun.) When the final drop of our margaritas were sipped and the last chip with guacamole was consumed, we all got up to go catch the sunset on the beach– bedtimes be damned! As we were walking, my brother in law carrying Rory and Jack on Mike’s shoulders (I was trailing behind with my phone snapping pictures), a man walked by us and said “it may not seem like it, but these are the best days of your life.” He got choked up telling us about his children; I got choked up thinking about how lucky we are. The air was cool and the sun was painting the sky with cotton candy colors and I said to Mike, “I’m so overwhelmed all the time but it’s the best kind of overwhelm.” I feel like I’m drowning most days– there’s always more to do and less time to do it in– and I’m touched out and overstimulated and my brain is most definitely mush. And they’re still the very best days. 🫶🏻
I’m Carly! I have been creating content online for over fifteen years- I started my blog my freshman year of college and now I’m a 34 year old mom of two little boys.
Right now I am finding the sweet spot of mothering and working. I am creating a magical, simple childhood for my boys while still finding time to do things that fill my own cup like working out, reading, practicing photography, and needlepointing.
I feel best when I put on a cute outfit in the morning and a tiny bit of makeup and have my hair blown out… but I also want to be comfortable and I am embracing my wrinkles and I’m letting my hair go grey.
My dream is to own a bookstore (one day!!), I am a huge homebody (major JOMO), and I’d love for to follow along! 🫶🏻

Prep on a Budget
Cute but something like this would be SO much more helpful with price points/ranges included and some background info (why these brands instead of others).
Love your gift guides! Mine are scheduled for towards the end of the week. The toasts and tributes BB book is one of my favorite stocking stuffers!

These suggestions are fantastic, Carly! Thank you so much for putting it together! I recently asked (forced) my husband to write a guest post on gift ideas for men and this list flows perfectly with his suggestions! Also, that state necklace is perfection.

Great list! Don't forget to add gourmet foods to the list for a guy. My husband is a foodie and loves to grill so I found a site where you can buy seafood online and he was so happy to cook his own gourmet meal. The seafood was top-quality and definitely worth it!
Dogeared necklaces are the best!
