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! 🫶🏻

It would totally not be wrong to get both! But If I could only chose one, I would pick the brown, just because there are so many amazing black handbags, but that brown Asos bag is a great versatile saddle-brown shade!

That's how I feel! The brown is just so elegant.

I actually own the brown version of that bag and I adore it! I bought is as a bookbag alternative and I've used it daily ever since. The brown goes with everything because its neither too brown nor too tan!

That's exactly what I was thinking! Brown is surprisingly quite easy to style 🙂
I'm personally leaning towards the brown version, I can just see myself wearing it with a lot more outfits!
And the scallops look gorgeous! I can totally understand why you'd be feeling a little jealous of your friend Carly haha 😉

I love that bag! I think I need both too it's such a great price!!!
I'm obsessed with the middy saddle bag. Love the asos one too.
When in doubt, get both. Although, I think I may be biased to the brown one, very autumn-esque!
Your Friend, Jess
I adore this bag, especially in black! Such a great price, too. I'll probably alternate this one with my tan Longchamps bag for Fall. Have a great weekend!

Hands down, BROWN!
I am totally going to purchase this bag!
I love this, but it looks huge! Good for a work bag, I suppose, but would get heavy quickly if it was filled up.
i'd go with brown! also, i want one (*gets starry-eyed*)
I'd definitely choose the brown – would be great for fall!
The brown leather will age well and still look good. The black leather won't. Or so I've read.
I would do the brown, personally. I think it looks better in this design and will age better. Now I'm seriously considering getting one myself to carry all of my work and school stuff in this fall!

So cute! I would go with brown!!
Brown!!
Brown. You must get the brown!
Brown definitely. It's so cute!!! The black looks like a business-y cute laptop bag. Unless that's what you're going for
I just ordered the black! The sale price swayed me. But the brown is SO lovely as well. Thanks for posting– helped me find a new fall bag very easily.
Just wanted to let people know the black one is currently 50% off!
100% brown. Way more versatile.
