I’ve been searching online for some new fall things to add to my wardrobe. Initially I wasn’t sure much I needed and I definitely don’t need too many new things this season… but I can’t stop thinking about these picks I’ve found online. I do love all the pieces I already have, including one of…
Coats are one of the most exciting things to me when it comes to cooler weather. Having grown up mostly in Florida, all I ever wanted when it was “back to school” time was one of those cute corduroy coats I’d see in the catalogues. (Remember when back to school shopping was done from a…
I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited for a trip as I have for our (Julia, Thomas, Garrett) Alaskan adventure. I’ve never been on a trip like this and I’ve definitely never done anything too outdoorsy so it should be different. I don’t even know what to expect, but from what I’ve heard from…
During our trip to DC last month, Garrett and I took some photos for Tuckernuck’s website. It was honestly such a fun time. We look serious enough in the actual product shots, but we couldn’t stop laughing! There’s something embarrassing and hilarious about standing in front of a camera with your friends and posing for…
I’ve become a pretty passionate snacker. Sitting at a desk all day long can get boring and I love to have something to nibble on throughout the day. Plus, I can go from zero to hangry hungry in about sixty seconds. And when I’m hungry, it’s not pretty. ONE // Apples + Nutella This is a new favorite…
Spring is just around the corner. It may not be here just yet, but I think we have survived. This week has been amazing. I love having an extra hour of daylight, even if it meant sacrificing an hour of sleep this weekend. I would have given up an entire night of sleeping for more sunshine! The…
Because my six year anniversary of blogging is coming up, I have been thinking about answering questions from the bloggers’ perspective. I try my best to keep things “real” while also fitting into the new blogger standards that have emerged over the years. Blogging used to just be more casual, but now that it’s turned…
I spent quite some time ordering Christmas presents, birthday gifts, and omg-you’re-having-a-baby gifts for my friends and family. I’m the WORST secret keeper ever, so Alison (my pregnant friend) and Stacy (my sister) should particularly not click on these links… I got Stacy this for her birthday and I got both Stacy and Alison this for Christmas gifts. I…
New seasons really make me want to do some shopping. I have done some damage already (like buying another Barbour coat!) so I’m kind of holding off on other purchases for now. But that’s not stopping me from window shopping! Here are some of the things on my wishlist right now: Ellsworth & Ivey Marilyn…

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! 🫶🏻
