How is it May?! We had a great trip to Florida last month and got a little taste of summer that’s making me so excited for the official kickoff. April was also a great month for Amazon finds, and I have a feeling a handful of these products are going to make it on my favorites…
It’s (almost) that time of year! In a way, it feels like my own graduation was a lifetime ago. In another, it feels like it was just yesterday. I don’t get the same requests I used to for graduation gift ideas, but it seems like we all know a young adult moving on from high…
Another post with my outfits from the past week! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Our whole trip to Tampa last week was a win start to finish. We got lucky with two more super easy flights 🙏🏻 And then we just had so much fun while down there. Lots of fun in the sun! It was absolutely exhausting,…
Rechargeable LED lamps have been taking over the internet and I finally jumped on the bandwagon and I’m so glad I did! These little lamps are fun. I originally purchased a couple for my office space and I ended up loving them so much that I bought another set for my house. Right now I have them…
I’m writing this from my parents’ kitchen island. Mike is playing in a golf tournament with my dad and my mom and I have been hanging out with the boys during the day. It’s been a lot of fun and very exhausting. (Excitement for Grandma Meesh and Grandpa Philly’s house is at an all-time high!!)…
Shoes are usually one of the first things I switch out in my closet when the seasons change. I got an unintentional head start this year when none of my shoes fit after giving birth to Rory in February, so I took it as an opportunity for a little refresh my spring shoes for women!…
I can’t believe my first Mother’s Day with both of my boys is just 2.5 weeks away!! Now’s a good time to shop so you can get your gift picked out, shipped, and wrapped without any rush. It’s also crucial to shop early if you want to get something monogrammed– those shipping cutoffs are much…
Back today with another week of outfits! I feel like I’m finally getting into the groove with outfits as the weather warms up and I slowly adjust to postpartum dressing. It’s a journey, but I have really been making strides in giving myself grace. (And trying to find the fun in picking up new pieces…
When I was pregnant with my second, I knew I wouldn’t need to buy too many new things. I felt very well prepared equipment-wise and since our kids are 2.5 years apart, my toddler was fully out of the baby stage and, therefore, all of our baby items were totally ready to go for #2….
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! 🫶🏻
