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! 🫶🏻

I know this sounds like a strange place but American Eagle had some GREAT knee high socks a few years back so I love to wear those under my boots.
I love wearing my Juicy knee high socks from a few years back under my boots! My favorite pair is pink with gold flecks and white polka dots! XO

I do this too! One of my best finds was socks that appear to be plain black, but have crazy patterns (stripes, dots, you name it) on the soles! They're so fun to wear with boots.

I LOVE crazy/cute socks. 🙂
So quirky–i love it!!! 🙂
I think everyone should express their individuality via their socks. One never knows when they will be required to remove their shoes and to me their is nothing worse than a old pair of white crew socks hiding under them!
I usually just grab the first pair of white crew socks from my drawer. Maybe this year I need to invest in some new socks! I just got some knee high argyle Gamecock socks and I can't wait to wear them!
yes!!! and i just went to j.crew yesterday to buy more socks. they are the best!
Most of my socks I wear during the fall/winter time are from Gap. They hold up well and spice up any outfit!
I love funky socks,too! Argyles are my favorite, but I only have a FEW solid black and then white running socks. All the others are funky!
hahahaha, yes! glad to find another fun sock lover out there in the world. :] my socks never ever match the rest of my outfit when I'm wearing boots. I just pull out a pair at random from the sock drawer.
I actually just bought a pair of fun socks from Old Navy today. I have a winter obsession with fun socks as well. The socks I bought today are men's socks, BUT they are SO warm and super cute (surprisingly)…and they were only $5!

I love Jcrew socks! I always wear them under my rainboots ahah!
HAHA I have the same rule!!! Only my super long gap argyle socks (I have a billion pairs, collect 'em every Christmas) or my polka dotted and neon leopard print styles. Nothing solid and boring under my riding boots!
I love to wear fun socks inside my boots. As a knitter, I love to wear my hand-knit socks or fun holiday themed socks, no matter what month it is.
I do! And I get mine from the J.Crew factory store as well! They're my favorite
I love my J.crew boot socks! And I always find them for great prices at our outlet.
xoxo.
