This was a “busy” two weeks. I know busy is an overused term, but I have to say… in this case, it’s all GREAT stuff!!!! Finally starting to feel like there’s light at the end of the tunnel. If nothing else, we are now able to fully enjoy being outside. Mike and I have been…
I wanted to bake something this weekend. I know there’s all these memes and what not about baking banana bread, but I think there’s something to it! The ingredients are pretty minimal and bread can be breakfast, a snack, or dessert. (I’d think twice about having a slice of cake at 9am but have no…
Sorry this is pretty mom-focused this week. Honestly I’ve just been heavily in mom mode and loving it…. but my camera roll certainly reflects this reality 😜 Here’s what I’ve been up to over the past two weeks. Jack was invited to a press event with Little Sleepies. I had no idea how it would…
I LOVE Dogeared Jewelry so much. The bracelets, necklaces, and earrings come in the sweetest little packages with precious advice. Soccer Mom gave me my first Dogeared necklace my junior year of HS. It was a little tiny key to symbolize the key to my heart. I wore it everyday for about a year, and I…
I can’t think of florals without quoting The Devil Wears Prada in my head. Last week I was invited to attend an event for Old Navy around their new floral dress collection. It’s so much easier to pop into the city for events and so I imagine I’m going to be going to more than I have the past few years.
Living in Florida, we don’t get much of a sense of “Autumn.” We wear sweaters with skirts and melt. (You have to suffer for beauty, of course.) Last year, I experienced a real Autumn at school! Here are things that I just could not bear to live without last year and certainly will not be…
While I love sunny days, I can’t resist a foggy one on Nantucket. It was pretty rainy all day, so we loaded up into our rented Mini Cooper and went on a driving tour of the island. We went from one end to the other and turned down roads as we wished.
As luck would have it, the rain turned to a drizzle as we neared ‘Sconset, so we hopped out to take some photos by Sankaty Light. I think it’s my favorite lighthouse– it’s definitely the most picturesque!
Keeping it real! I just feel like more than anything, I’m wearing what works as a mom and in my third trimester! Comfortable jeans and leggings for the win. I’ve been coming across so many good staple pieces on Amazon lately that I had to round up a winter Amazon style edit! Most of the…
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical. Don’t forget to use my exclusive code CARLYROYAL15 to save 15% off for the next 48 hours. Valid once per shopper. #MCPartner #RoyalCheckCollection
Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
