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 am always on the lookout for cute, comfortable loafers but have yet to find any that I love! Thanks for reminding me that I need to continue my search for the perfect pair =)

I've actually been thinking about getting myself a pair of loafers, but I haven't really seen anything I loved. I do like those Eastland ones though, and I know a store right near me sells that brand. I'll definitely be checking them out!

I've been wanting a pair of burgundy Bass loafers for the longest time! I think they're so classic and versatile.
My mom just showed me those Tory Burch ones the other day! I'm hoping to get my hands on a pair this fall!
I love loafers so cute and chic!
Cute cute! I just got a pair of gold ones from F21… definitely got the quality I paid for, but it's not like I can wear gold loafers every day so I'm ok with that 🙂
Love the Tory Burch ones!!
I actually really want a pair of heeled loafers!!

Just saw someone wearing these with skinny jeans and a silk blouse yesterday– SO CUTE!!
I have some classic cole haans. In my opinion, the best you can get!
I've been undecided about loafers for a while. Thanks for posting about them!
I seriously need a new pair; my Bass's are beat! Adore those Tory Burch's!
I'm more of a driving shoe girl. I like those little rubber dots 😉
Actually, given my small frame, I regularly investigate female versions of male staples. Even if I get a men's shoe in my size, it is usually a bit too… bulky, and can look… very chunky on my feet. About half the shoes in my closet are actually female versions of a male shoe. Inluding one pair of Sperry's.
I've seriously been considering picking up the female versions of the Bass dirty bucks for the same reason. I always look at female loafers, and as long as the heel is low enough, and the tongue is high enough, it'll look right given my tall but thin frame.
I think female oxfords with pointed toe is the best alternative if the maleness staples don't look too good on your feet 🙂
I love love LOVE loafers! I just bought a pair of brown ones from Cole Haan in June. They're such great quality, and I do not think I've ever worn a more comfortable pair of shoes! So glad you're posting about loafers!

I love my loafers, but I feel a bit like they're my go to "lazy shoe." But hey, at least I've managed to replace the beat up converse with something a bit more classy looking.
I was doing a search on the comfort of Tory burch loafers and this blog came up in my search. I bought the TB loafers from this review. You are right. Comfortable, versatile , and very preppy. Thanks for all your reviews. This was helpful.
