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™️

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! 🫶🏻

Will Cookson!
He's my newest music obsession and I don't know how I lived without him and his gorgeous music.
Of monsters and men! I especially love:
Little talks
Dirty paws
King and the lionheart
Love most of these too! I went to the Regina Spektor concert this weekend & Only Son opened for her, you may like them too! <3
I love a lot of these too! Mumford is perfect studying/working music! I actually just recently did a blog post about my current favorites.
xo, Blake
Love these! I think everything by Mumford is brilliant! I'm also loving the Lumineers' album. If you haven't heard of Ed Sheeran, go listen to him now. Imagine Dragons is really good too!

I am kind of obsessed with Taylor Swift's new album, Red, but more specifically the songs: Red, Everything Has Changed, (and) Begin Again. Definitely check out the music video for Begin Again; I think it is right up your alley! (It takes place in Paris!!)

I just listened to the latest Crystal Castles' Album and XX's self titled album. I'm always listening to Shuman and Chopin.
Also Bonobo "Black Sands" is a great chill, ambient album.
I'm OBSESSED with Lana Del Rey. Her music is so different and unique!
Hi Carly! I love all of your playlists and Pandora recommendations! Have you heard of Songza? I am currently listening to a playlist created by theSkimm. There are tons of lists from which to choose! You just have to take your pick!
Taylor Swift right now, and I'm not even ashamed to admit it.
Get free all lyrics for all Islamic naats and nohay.
Nice playlist!
