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! 🫶🏻

Well, I went to the University of Texas, so I am obligated to love orange!
xoxo
I love the bag! And you look so much like your mum in the bottom picture – so cute 🙂
I love the color orange but I don't necessarily wear it because I don't think it looks nice on my complexion.
I don't really like orange.
One wall of my bedroom is orange and I can't stand the look of it any more.
I'm repainting next week ! :p
But I love the bag you chose. The orange on the bag is subtle.
I've never really liked the color orange either…but for stone reason both my mom and best friend LOVE it!
I am the best friend Signe is speaking of! My favorite colors this season are navy, orange and a hint of metallic so this post got me very excited!!! Just curious, who took the picture of you?
Oh I am loving that Sunday bag! Being a student at the University of Texas, I bleed orange (plus the monogram doesn't hurt!). Definitely checking their site out!
Having orange as one of my school colors made it love it! Especially since I wasn't a huge fan of maroon, I learned how to style orange for football season and just for fall in general. I just bought a pair of orange jeans after seeing this photo on Pinterest- http://www.refinery29.com/dc-shoe-style-photos/slideshow#slide-1 … now I just need the perfect pair of leopard loafers to make the look! 😉
Orange and maroon together…must be the same alma mater as me!
What a surprise as a consistent follower of your blog to see you first photo taken at St. Jude. As an employee of St. Jude in their NYC office, it was just another reason why I love your blog!
Also, orange is a must for the fall…you have to find a shade suited to your complexion. For example, I steer towards red oranges vs. friends that steer towards burnt orange.
St. Jude is amazing! I LOVE it!!!!
Love it! Reminds me of Tory Burch!!
I've never been much of an orange fan either but that bag is really cute!

I love the bag, but I was raised to hate the color orange (my mom went to the University of South Carolina and therefore hated Clemson) so I'd probably have to get it in another color!
I like how orange looks as a color for interior design, but not so much for clothing. My wardrobe's base color is black, so I think I'd look pretty Halloween-y (ha, I'd look like a Halloweenie). Also, everyone at my office is a HUGE sports fan and they ALWAYS make comments about colors that people wear, like, "oh we don't like orange-school-color-team so we don't like you, hyuk hyuk" and it drives me nuts.
Agreed on interior design! My office is currently painted to match the Veuve Clicquot label – it's uplifting and keeps me motivated!
Oh, darling! A purse on the floor is money out the door!
I really love this; it's so unexpected! I think those Revas are so adorable!
I tend to steer clear of it, but it looks good in the fall (just has to be a little more of a burnt orange color!)

I've always liked to combine orange with another color and orange & gold always go great together.
I don't own any orange clothes, but if I had a some orange pieces I would pair it with a either a pair of white jeans with some boots for the fall. or Get an orange purse to pop your outfit if your going to stay with dark colors.
My school colors were orange and black, so orange has quickly become one of my favorite colors. 🙂 I like how orange can go with dark colors, giving an outfit a pop. But I do love that bag with orange and gold, I really want to get myself a bag!
love gold and orange-always reminds me of Hermes!
I really love the way brightly coloured accessories looks when paired with neutrals. I think it's a safe way to be bold…if that makes any sense. Totally never would've thought to do this colour combo though.
does the bag have a zip closure?
