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'm at a loss for what to get my mom 🙁 But this does give me an excuse to go to the mall and search!
love love LOVE the monogrammed necklaces! my mom would DIE to have one of those…and in a decade or so, so would i
Totally forgot about Dogeared. I went to their website and realized I have had one of their necklaces years ago and lost it. Amazing jewelry company! Thank you for posting about it for now I can replace my necklace and they make amazing gifts!
oo i LOVE the cuffs!! im going to go get pedis/manis with my mom 🙂 xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
that picture is absolutely adorable! now if I could just think of an actual gift besides flowers to send her…
Adorable picture up in your post. Just darling! I am stumped as to what to get my mom, too. It's annoying because every time I ask her she goes, "Don't get me anything!" Now, I respond, "Well, you know you're getting something so you may as well tell me what you want!" Still doesn't work. Hmph.
Great ideas! I got my mom the Philosophy Amazing Grace gift set–they had a special Mother's Day version that said "Philosophy: Mothers are a Gift", and she had mentioned liking it when I've worn it.
I was going to get my mom a Dogeared necklace, but ultimately decided on the "Together Forever" necklace from Stella and Dot!
I absolutely love your ideas and was hoping you would post something soon! My mom's birthday is Friday the 6th, with the Kentucky Derby the next day, and then Mother's Day!! Ahh… makes it hard. I love the marley lilly necklace, I might have to get it. But I went to etsy and she makes Kentucky Derby hats, so they are one of a kind! If anyone was interested, I ordered my mom a pink one! so cute… plus she's from Kentucky 🙂
I love Dogeared as well. My mom and I actually have that exact necklace as a matching pair. So cute!
