One of my most favorite gifts for Christmas was a Flip camcorder! I have the black Ultra HD and absolutely LOVE it. The screen is large enough where you can get a great view of what’s going on, but the whole camcorder is small enough to slip into a pocket! It’s also extremely easy to…

What’s my major? I’m in the business school at Georgetown. I honestly have no idea what I want to major in!!! I’m sort of interested in either Marketing or Management. At this point, I know for an absolute fact that I will most definitely not be majoring in Accounting. Accounting 101 kicked my behind! 102…
I was totally a Gap kid. But first, something funny:Little V just posted this picture on my Facebook page: This was during December of my Freshman year at Georgetown. We were walking back from dinner and it was “snowing.” Her comment: “Remember when you were excited about this amount of snow?” If only I knew…
I’m sure I could be doing homework, catching up on reading, studying for my midterms (which are right around the corner. AH), but no. I’ve been sitting in my bed looking out the window in absolute awe of the storm. The wind is absolutely insane. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it! I’ve been…
Little V is 21!!! She has the best birthday present: Another SNOW DAY! I can’t imagine having school for the rest of the week too… Outside my window is just a wall of WHITE! Little V’s older brother (who lives in DC too) organized a whole big surprise party for her. While she was out…
Last night, we all decided to do a Game Night (even though it’s a typical Friday night tradition… it seemed fitting since we didn’t have school). We played Cranium, but it was moving pretty slowly since people were wandering in and out. Although, I had to draw a mailbox with my eyes closed and it…
I’m currently sitting in the library with California Funk. He’s doing homework; I’m sitting here catching up on blogs, listening to pandora (Hey, Soul Sister by Train station… haha, that’s funny), gchatting (I’m obsessed with Gchat, add me if you ever want to chat: collegeprepster [at] gmail [dot] com), and reading Post Secret’s Sunday Secrets….
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! 🫶🏻
