girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche_us!
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Definitely chocolate chip cookies!
chocolate!
french fries, sugar, chips and salsa, and apples & peanut butter (:
Completely agree. Macrons make my heart melt. As does a new shade of nail polish. 🙂
Vanilla Latte from Starbucks always does the trick.
im sorry but how is this post preppy? can we get some creativity here, please?
Those macaroons look exactly like the ones at Cafe Luxxe in Santa Monica! Best coffee in town.
What makes me cave…….dark chocolate and a great cup of coffee. I could sit under a blanket and melt into happiness with those!
Sweet potato fries, a margarita, brick oven pizza
These pictures are absolutely STUNNING :)!
chocolate or cosmetics make me cave in, lol 😀
SUGAR!
gummy candy (peach rings, Sour Path kids, Haribo or black forest bears), nail polish, chocolate, wine, ice cream.
The last picture of the candy is beautiful and so vibrant! Where did you find it?
Who makes that candy? it looks amazing!
Macarons (Vanilla), Nutella, Chic-fil-a, and Frozen Yogurt (preferably with Reeses Pieces!)

(I'm hosting my first giveaway this week!)
those macaroons look amazing…..i can never resist some retail therapy!
i have a serious sweet tooth… so that is always a good thing to persuade me with 🙂 xoxo jcd :: cornflake dreams
Those macaroons look delicious – can you believe I've never had one?? I think your picture may have just inspired me to go find some 🙂
i think food period could persuade me to just about anything! especially sweets! i could eat cake, ice cream, and candy all day long! and probably shoes!!!!! omg shoes, i would do anything for shoes.
I adore that first picture. I cave for a second vanilla latté, an extra hour in bed, and always always always ice cream.
P.S. Get lost, anonymous.
Always the anonymous ones being snarky…
Otherwise, those macarons look DELICIOUS. Can I just say I'm glad other people spell it correctly?
Cake!!
Where are those macrons from?
I cave in when presented with a Skinny Vanilla Latte. Second a delicious brunch out in downtown DC. <3
cosmetics. i lovee visiting the clinique counter.
Love the blog, Carly! I'm another preppy WASP in college (small liberal arts schol in New England) and you inspired my roommates and me to start our own blog! Thanks for the inspiration!
I definitely cave in when presented with chocolate chip cookie dough or a cute guy (: Great blog!
