a little bit of life, a little bit of style, and everything in between.

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™️
When @georgiemorley takes the best photos of your baby 🫶🏻 #tuckernucking (on the blog today!)
I have been an avid audiobook listener for years. @audible makes it so easy to listen to books by my favorite authors, and discover my next favorite read. Now through 7/31, @audible Prime members can try three months free of an Audible Premium Plus membership; find out more in the link in my bio. I just started The Cliffs by J. Courtney Sullivan 🎧– what should I listen to next??? #ad #audible #audiblepartner #primeday #amazoninfluencer
Reposting because my brother in law was right, this is the better photo and I want it on my grid!! Can we pretend like it’s the first time you’re seeing it 🙊
@mackenziechilds’ biggest and best sale of the year is here! Now through July 22, get up to 60% off iconic MacKenzie-Childs pieces. Whether you’re an avid collector or picking out the first piece for your collection, this is THE time to get the best pieces at the best prices. #MCPartner
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! 🫶🏻

Lovely list! I love looking ahead and thinking of fun things to do each month too. Thanksgiving is always something I look forward to every November 🙂

I really want to go on a hike here in Missouri! There are so many trails and the weather is still relatively mild so it would be perfect. I'm also wanting to finish two books this month 🙂
26 and Not Counting
Great list! I love putting together a monthly agenda. This month I plan on celebrating my bday, enjoying some pampering, and I would like to fit a hike in before all of the leaves fall.

Every year just before the holidays I always say I am going to re-read the Harry Potter series! I would love to do it!! You should do a blog series about it, or keep up with it on Goodreads so I can follow along. Having other people to do it with makes it more fun!
This is a great list! You totally should visit Maine…I am from right outside of Portland (in Maine) and it is absolutely gorgeous during this time of the year. I can't wait to read about it if you go!

Re-Read HP! I love it. I should add that to my list too!
I couldn't recommend York, Maine more! 🙂 Hope you have a great fall!

An all day hike + Maine + recipe from you grandma. All so charming!
I just started re-reading Harry Potter – I'll race ya 😉
Kristina does the Internets
I really love this idea. Thank you for the inspiration, Carly!
I just reread the HP series over the summer. It's something I've been meaning to do forever, since I only read each book exactly once when it was released. They definitely hold up! Love the rest of the list too!
Reading this list is making me so jealous!! Down in the southern hemisphere we are coming into some crazy hot, humid weather already (can't even begin to imagine how hot summer will be if this is what spring is like)! Have a great November!

I love the idea of a monthly bucket list! I feel like it'd motivate me to get out and explore more 🙂

Love this list! I hope to make a special dish for our family Thanksgiving! This will be the first!
Always with love,

I love this! It seems like most of the fall fun ends in October so I am glad to see you continuing all the fun fall activities into November 🙂

I hope you visit Maine! I'd love to see what you think about it, and it's the perfect time of year before it gets way too cold! I'd suggest the Kennebunk/Portland/York area where the lighthouses are, or up near Acadia National Park.

I will definitely be getting our Christmas card addresses in order as well as hopefully making some wassail (similar to cider!)
