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 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! 🫶🏻

I love chino shorts! They are literally the only shorts I wear anymore!

This is definitely a staple of mine too!! Add a crystal statement necklace and I'm all in:)

They are really my summer uniform! I once saw ones in Zara for 10€ (around $14) and I couldn't help but grab those chinos in all three available colors 🙂 And they've never failed me!

This is definitely a go to look for me!

I am a huge fan of J Crew's chinos. Personally I prefer the 4in shorts just because I feel the 3 in are too short on me. All the colors are so cute and summery!
I got my first pair of chinos this spring, and I love them! They're comfy and don't look too short on my long legs. I love how they look with a chambray shirt!

I love J. Crew's chino shorts!
Lauren,

Haha so I own at least 5 pairs of the J. Crew Factory chino shorts, 4 of which are of the 5" inseam variety because I realized I like that length better personally. I have them in the periwinkle blue (Oxford chinos), bright green (which goes super well with navy and/or white for an adorably preppy look), navy blue (classic), a green motif print pair (for fun), and gray. The 3" shorts are the gray ones, but I prefer the 5" for going to class because it feels a little more appropriate to me, but living in Gainesville, FL and taking classes over the summer means it's probably time for me to get another pair in a different color because they've become my uniform for going to class because it's SO HOT! Anyway, good post, I like the combination! 🙂
I adore J.Crew chinos! I'm not exaggerating when I say I have 20 (or more) pairs! They are the only shorts I wear (besides monogrammed norts, of course)!
I love wearing my chambray shirt with maxi skirts and soft shorts! So breezy and comfortable!
I don't know what it is about Chambray and Chino, but they just seem to go together. They are probably the perfect lazy summer look – just throw them on with a tank underneath and a pair of cute shoes and sunnies, and you're ready for anything the day throws at you. I definitely need to pick up some of both.
These chinos are great for summer! I really like the bright colors and I love the white Jack Rogers sandals.

I just bought a couple of chinos at the J Crew outlets that were on sale for $8 a piece!

Love chinos! I just bought a baby blue pair from the Gap. I've been on the hunt for a cute chambray shirt for a while now, I just need to probably buy the one at j crew.

I have no idea where I would be without my J.Crew chinos. I was wondering how often I would be able to get away with them in the city but when those dreaded 90-100 degree days hit I doubt I'll even care.
I have a long torso and the higher-waisted style of the J Crew chino shorts always hit me at the wrong spot. Does anyone have any similar suggestions?
Thanks!
I love those hot pink ones – I need them!

I lovelovelove the J.Crew Chino shorts. I actually stumbled across them when I had to buy khaki shorts for my summer job, but I have since then converted to them being my staple shorts for summer. I love the look with a chambray shirt, particularly with my chambray popover!
I adore those Chino shorts, I definitely need to get some. I love the bright colors and they look so comfortable.
