Hi there! Just a quick picture post today!!! This is me and my boat after Sprints a few weekends ago!

Are you ready?!? VIOLA!!!! Perfection right?!?!?! And these fabulous monogrammed checkbook covers! Find all of these cute things at the Cafe Boulet etsy…
I know a bunch of bloggers do this with their purses or totes, but I thought this would be really fun to do with my Coxswain Bag! As a coxswain, I have to be super prepared on the water. But also keep things light. Extra weight=bad! This is what I bring on the water during…

I’m sure you guys have seen these super cute baby socks by Trumpette. I’m quite partial to the ballet slipper ones!!! They’re a bit pricey though… And you’d have to imagine that the socks can’t be worn for all the long due to growing feet and dirty floors. I found cute ones from Target that…

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! 🫶🏻
