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! 🫶🏻

Great Post Carly! i love the stripes form J.Crew. I was wondering if you could do a video tutorial for the Instagram photoshop stips for the template. I just got photoshop and I'm at a lost how you did it, as most of the comments seem to say.
I absolutely agree with you there! I feel like the cutest cutest suits now are the one pieces. I love the Tory Burch flamingo one piece, and Modcloth also has some adorable one pieces. I might invest in one before I head to Florida 🙂

Right?! I love one piece swimsuits… nothing to adjust or worry about. They're so classy too! I also love shabby apple's suits. 🙂
I love one pieces! I have really white skin, so it looks so much nicer than a bikini. Australian designer Camilla Frank does some amazing one piece swimsuit, with amazing printed fabrics and her signature beading. My two favourites are:

Nice picks

I love the black and white stripes with the bows, soo cute! I keep meaning to try a one piece but I'm scared I can't pull it off.
can't wait to see what you choose!

Love them! I have worn one since I was a little girl and love them. The color-block suit from Anthropologie is fantastic!
I love one pieces and tankinis because I'm a modest person. Thankfully, there are some cute modest swimsuits for an affordable price!

i have been wanting the jcrew stripe one but am afraid it will be too long. i'm tempted to order it since it's 20% off with the code bloom right now.
Bikinis are great when you are lounging by the pool, but when you're jumping off rocks and rafting down the river a one piece can really come in handy. My favourite one-piece is called Parisian Tulip by Splendid.
Yes! to this post. I really enjoyed looking at the one pieces when Shopbop had that swim sale last week. I really like the pink one you chose!
modesty is hottest! i've always been a one piece/tankini kinda girl 🙂
100% in love with the first Anthropologie swimsuit. Oh man.
