It’s really strange that after living in Florida for so long, the worst hurricane I’ve ever gone through happened during my first two months in New York City. Tampa nearly always gets missed by hurricanes. I’m actually super fortunate, because the Upper East Side was not hit that bad. In fact, I don’t have television…
I did a post on scarves for summer a few months ago and can’t believe it’s time for a fall version. While I love the way the brightly colored scarves look, there’s nothing better than a cozy, heavy sweater to keep you warm on a chillier day. Scarves and sweaters go hand in hand in perfectly, wouldn’t…
I know, I know… The never ending summer. (But I’m also a realist and know it will end no matter how much I wish it wouldn’t.) Because these temperatures won’t last forever, I really suggest getting these four staples now. (Really, I wouldn’t wait… these things tend to get backordered by the time you actually need it.)…
So I’m back in the city and I can’t wait to share everything from the trip. I think it’s going to take me a while to go through all the photos and my notes and get everything ready for blog posts. So. Much. To. Share. Scotland was beyond amazing and I had the best time visiting…
I’m off to Scotland tonight with Barbour. To say I’m excited would be a major understatement. Just reading the itinerary had my heart fluttering! Can’t wait to meet everyone and learn more about the brand. Follow along on Instagram and Twitter! I’m staying connected (hallelujah!) with XCom Global so I’ll be able to post updates…
The Tuckernuck winter sale is just too good… So many things that I “need.” You know how that goes. (My closet, currently bursting at the seams, would have to disagree.) Shop some of my favorite picks below (including a Barbour Jacket on sale!): Happy Shopping! xoxo
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to travel so much in my life. There have been moments where I’ve been itching to just… get out of town. But right now, there are just so many places that I want to go. London, California, and Paris (of course) have been topping my list for a while now….
I don’t know if it was really that gorgeous of a day, but after below freezing temperatures, rain, snow, and icy sidewalks… it felt like summer. My morning plans were canceled so Teddy and I took to the streets for an extra long walk. It’s so much fun walking with him and we’ve met so many…
Mackenzie and I went on a little shopping adventure with Tuckernuck a few weeks ago. Mackenzie and I shop a little bit too much together (either in stores or online sitting next to each other!). Shopping with friends is the best/worst. So much fun, but so much harder to say no to certain purchases! We…
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! 🫶🏻
