I love my blackberry. (Even though I’m drooling over the Droid… I feel like I need the star gazing app- so much fun to play with!) My favorite part about Blackberries? BBM [Blackberry Messenger] of course. However, my new favorite freshman (I guess they’re rising sophomores now)… anyways he’s awesome and we’re kinda twins. Everyone…
Hello there sophomore year. You’ve gone by so fast! This year was so much fun and lots of crazy. Here are some highlights: The Snowpocalypse – who could forget the entire week of no school? The Grassroot Project Seeing General Petreaus speak Some more snow Seeing Hillary Clinton Bebe’s debutante ball Rubik’s cube (even if…
Someone asked me on my Tumblr what kind of hair products I use. Here goes it. I have super super super curly hair. If you don’t have curly hair, it’s hard to understand how difficult it is to manage. Especially when you live in Florida. The humidity is crazy. I used to straighten my hair…
Settle in girls, it’s Story Time [Anyone like broadway musicals? Shrek perhaps?]: Way back in January, I was sitting in a 15 passenger van crammed in the last row between two rowers driving back from Columbia, SC for our winter training trip. The driver was dead set on being the first van back to campus…
Not the Little V Victoria…. Victoria’s Secret. Before I even begin, Victoria’s Secret makes me extremely uncomfortable. Anything about undergarments makes me uncomfortable. [Side note: I could never bring myself to say the “b” word…. I can’t even type it without cringing… we referred to bras…AH… as bananas in our household for a long time.]…

My Lilly Pulitzer highlighters are in high demand in Lau (our ugly library). Actual Gchat conversation: Boy: your highlighter is coming in handy me: and it’s fabulous right? Boy: i feel more fabulous after every line i highlight me: 🙂 Obviously I changed the name to protect his identity…
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what tumblr even is and why I need one and how does it work. I think the best way to describe it is as “micro-blogging.” It’s more random, quicker, and spur of the moment. You don’t have to spend an hour typing a full “post” like you…
Being at a university with no Greek system, being on a sport’s team is such a great way to get involved, meet people, have school spirit, and have fun! I love being a coxswain (I am not personally a huge fan of having things thrown at me…) and I love my team. I can’t imagine…
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! 🫶🏻
