We were originally going to be down the shore this weekend for Memorial Day, but our plans changed and now we get to spend the weekend at home! I’m so excited for a slow weekend without having to pack anything or worry about parenting outside of our space…. you know? I’m getting our bathing suits,…

Amazon and Target seem to have better and better home decor every year. While some of it can end up being junk, there’s always some gems worth buying (this set of 12 cloth napkins is definitely catching my eye)! After rounding up affordable fashion under $50, it only made sense to now do inexpensive home…
This was not my most inspired week of outfits. Truth be told, I was feeling a bit overextended and ended up in leggings and the same sweatshirt more times than I care too admit 😉 But I will say, I loved the outfits that I did wear. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Truly the biggest win was…
I love coordinating my outfits with the boys. It’s not an everyday thing, but it’s something I enjoy doing on occasion (and frankly, it makes for the cutest pictures). With two boys, I’ve been trying to go for more coordination than straight up matching, even for their outfits. There are so many options out there…
It’s been a fairly uneventful and nice week here! Rory turned three months old (how!) and Jack has been loving riding his bike around town. It’s just such a fun stage all around. I climb into bed utterly exhausted– physically and mentally– but truly couldn’t be happier, too. Bubble Concentrate + Wand Here’s what has…
Mike has put in some good work in getting our backyard “ready” for the summer season, and I’m really looking forward to spending more time out there this summer! We’ve gotten lucky this spring with a few early warm days. Pulling out lounge chairs on our lawn to read and watch the kids play outside has felt like a…
Out of all the seasons, I like shopping for dresses to wear to a summer wedding the best. There’s usually more dress code flexibility, so you have a better chance at getting a lot of wear out of them. Plus, you can play with the colors and prints! Working on this roundup was so much…
Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another post week of my outfit posts! LAST WEEK’S WIN: I started a new workout program that I’m really excited about. I have been cobbling together workouts just depending on my mood for the day since returning to working out after having Rory. It was working for me at the time…
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! 🫶🏻
