I’m so excited to be guest posting for Carly here today, she has one of my favorite blogs around! When Carly asked if I would post about riding and showing horses, I nearly jumped out of my skin to hug her. I’ve been riding for 10 years, and still am like that 7 year old…
As you guys know by now, most of my posts are scheduled since I’m overseas. I completely forgot to schedule a Father’s Day post!!! Don’t worry, I did get to send Soccer Dad a text message to wish him a happy Father’s Day. This is one of my favorite favorite favorite pictures of my dad…

Greetings from Henley. We made it safely across the ocean; I thought the flight went by super quickly actually. Big Mike was my plane buddy– it was a very sought after position among the group let me tell you (not). The whole group: Me, Hanky Poo, Timbo Slice, Big Mike, Chuckarooski, Coach and his wife…

Hello Hello! While you’re reading this, I’m probably somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean… on my way to ENGLAND! I seriously cannot believe the day has come for our epic journey to England for the Henley Royal Regatta. Here are some videos of us… we had practice at 5 am and we got bored while our…
I am not a dog person. I used to be afraid of them. Hard core. Frankly, the whole “domesticated animal” thing freaks me out. I LOVE my cats, but if I think too much about how their dirty and gross paws walk over the floors we step on, it grosses me out and don’t even…

So here are the pictures from Sporty Sister’s REAL (none of this “non” party stuff for her) graduation party. Honestly, prepare to be blown away by Soccer Mom’s latest–and so far best– vision. The chandelier decked out in Orange and Blue. The china cabinet converted in Sporty Sister’s personal trophy case. [Do not get me…
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! 🫶🏻
