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!)

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! 🫶🏻

(Woops! I tried to comment, but I think I was logged out, hehe).
But basically, I wanna do everything on your list too – I love fall! Last October, my friends and I went through the Haunted Eastern State Penitentiary and it was amazing! (and terrifying…O_O)

Apple cider donuts are so good and I baked my first apple pie a few weekends ago after I went apple picking. I was so much fun 🙂
This is a great list! I absolutely adore this time of year.

I love watching the fall foliage bloom! I really want to go to the apple cider farm near us this year, and bring back plenty of fresh cider. Yum! I'll pick up some pretty leaves along the way 🙂 And I just got some beautiful sweaters, so I'm all set for fall!
I bought the sweater, thanks for sharing!
Love your list Carly!

My big fall to-dos this year include going to an Oktoberfest for the first time and staying in a cabin, going to a college football game, lots and lots of baking, using my crock pot more, and going to my favorite farm/pumpkin patch!
