Hey ya’ll! I’m Kristi from The Preppy Girl Next Door and I am so excited to be doing this guest post for Carly! One of my favorite things to do is travel. I have a goal of visiting every state at least once before I turn 50. I also want to travel out of the…
I am back in DC right now reflecting on the amazing trip I just went on. I feel so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to cox for the four guys in my boat. Seriously, I know that sounds so cheesy, but I really do feel lucky! I have learned so much about myself,…
Shopping around Henley, I popped into a really cute store that I think many, if not all, of you would LOVE. JOULES Everything in the store looked so fresh and fun. The colors weren’t too bright or too muted. Just right. And the styles of everything were precious. I spent a few minutes browsing their…
A little strange to be spending it in England. But I fly back to Washington, DC tomorrow morning. And then back to Tampa on Tuesday. Last year, I spent the fourth with my fabulous family (minus my sister, she was in Spain) and my bestest friend ever on Long Boat Key.
Suiting Up by Freckles Hey yall! I’m so excited to be guest blogging for my friend and first cousin, College Prepster! As it is the custom of College Prepster to use a fun pen name, you can call me Freckles! I’ve loved reading all about Sporty Sister’s high school graduation excitement…I just graduated from college…
I am obsessed with chap stick. I use it all the time. I just ran out of my Burt’s Bees pomegranate, so I went to CVS to replace it. And I saw this new flavor: Mango Butter. It is SUMMER for your lips. Smells so great. Feels so great. Plain ole GREAT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.xoxo PS…
The Henley Royal Regatta has officially begun! We raced on Wednesday afternoon against a crew that we’ve raced three times during our trip- making this our fourth race. It was weird, but kind of nice to “know” the crew. Henley is different than most sprint races that we’re used to. There are only two boats…
Recently I have been taking a look at fashion trends born out of function. The other day I wrote about UGGs. Toady, since I’m guest blogging for the College Prepster, we thought it would be perfectly appropriate to do a post on the Polo Shirt- where did it come from and how did it become…
We are so excited to race on Wednesday! We’ve officially begun our taper. We visited Oxford University with a tour by a last year’s team captain and varsity coxswain (oh, and Little V’s boyfriend!) since he attends there now. It was a beautiful– and hot– day! Perfectly summery. I hope everyone is having a good…
Ready for a fresh start this month. September is usually my favorite month of the year and I feel like it went by so fast I hardly got to enjoy it- the whole thing was a blur. Ready to savor October- I have a list of things I want to try to do (like sewing the boys’ Halloween costumes 🎃 and keep practicing my sourdough 🍞). If nothing else, I’m trying to take a moment *every day* to do something, even the tiniest 5-minute interlude, that brings me a moment of peace.
PS I definitely need to add some of the bigger blooms but I didn’t want to sacrifice them just yet 🙈
A simple September Sunday 🌧️💛 We’ve been trying to get out and do one last weekend adventure after naptime on Sunday afternoons before gearing back up for the weekday routine. Not even the rain could stop us!
Maybe this Reel isn’t exactly “instagram worthy” but it’s exactly what life looks and feels like right now and THAT is worthy of a permanent spot on the feed 🫶🏻

With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether we’re commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (🤭), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, I’m just so glad you’re here. I’ve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. We’ve gone through so many life stages together. 🫶🏻

send this to your best friend 🫶🏻
@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! There’s something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. 🫶🏻 We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and it’s just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years ago… that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!
