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 @ackreds x @tuckernuck collection is what Nantucket dreams are made of! My favorite #tuckernucking silhouette in iconic Nantucket Reds™️

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! 🫶🏻

They are adorable- I would totally buy them if I had extra $$ right now.. Blue and white polka dots are my fave!
I think they are very cute!
definitely like the madewell ones better – so cute!

i have been lusting over both of them, too bad the smallest size is a 6, or else i might have a pair by now. so cute!
Those are precious!
These are so your style! How cute. I recently posted about Madewell too!

I totally agree about the Madewell ones vs. the J. Crew. I would definitely make the purchase! I'm helpless in the face of polka dots.

Those are so cute! I found a pair in mint green from H and M that a bought for 12.50 and I love them!

Those are really cute! x
I too loved Keds! What outfit would I wear this with?
I am absolutely loving that poka dots are big this fall! But the Madewell ones are to die for, so cute!!

I'm not 100 percent in love with Keds to be honest, but the polka dots are cute! (and VERY on trend for the fall)

I love em! 🙂
I work at a Madewell and I DIED over the Keds! All of my coworkers told me I had to get them because they were so "Steph." So I'm getting them soon 🙂
My younger sister has some really cute polka dot ones like this! She is only 11, but I was jealous of her shoes! I may just need to sneak them into my closet every once in a while!
I definitely like the Keds version better. I was just thinking that the J. Crew ones looked a little thicker and less cute before I saw your comment. I have a pair of black Keds and they get a ton of wear. The comfortable while still being cute thing is what makes me love them so much. The polka-dots on this version makes them even cuter. I don't know if they would match with enough in my closet for me to be able to justify a purchase, but they're definitely adorable
