Lilly, you’ve done it again. I was not a fan of the past few seasons… but I’m excited to announce that I LOVE the Holiday Gift Guide items! Love it! Have to have it! So cute! Perfect for my sleepovers with Little V! I have these shift ornaments from a few years ago, but I…
Hey! I’m sure I’m not the only one who floods her inbox with Daily Candy emails! (I get almost all of them! haha!) If you don’t receive them, you should! Check out their website here. Anyways, they’re launching a new website similar to Rue La La called Swirl! I’m so excited for it… If you…
The other day, I was thinking about how much I miss being on stage. For as long as I can remember, I have loved being on stage. Whether I was just part of the chorus, or singing a solo, I felt “at home” standing in front of an audience. This is strange because I’m typically…
I don’t think girls should ever chew gum in public. It just looks bad. And for some people, sounds bad too. In class, the girl next to me was chewing gum. She went through 4 pieces, as in spitting a piece out and replacing it. Oh my lord. It drove me up the wall. Mints…
Themed parties are really fun. That is, if everyone actually participates! Little V and I decided to have a Rubik’s Cube party for last night. The intention was to raise money for our friend’s car because it broke under our care… And the car is very important for the program he runs. [A Rubik’s Cube…
… have a hard time deciding what to buy! I would love to buy this CUPCAKE CAR! It is included in Neiman Marcus‘ “The Christmas Book.” Who wouldn’t want to zip around in one of these cars??? I mean, they only go 7 miles an hour, but they’re personally customized and just so stinking cute!…
Vera Bradley Holiday!!! So cute! I really like the ornaments. They would make a really great Secret Santa gifts… or for teachers… or neighbors… or yourself! The stocking is a little much… but still fun, maybe for a children’s room! -College Prepster

(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! 🫶🏻
