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! 🫶🏻

So many companies these days are trying to re-invent themselves to gain more consumers. Unfortunately, this is the outcome.
Equally horrified honey!!!
Oh Sweetie. Those are just nasty and I completely agree!!!
that is the worst thing I have ever seen. STUDDED BOOTS???? horrified as well.
those are seriously awful! i do kind of like the light gold metallic sperrys that j.crew has.
This is terrifying. It was weird enough when girls on campus would wear the sneaker hybrid versions with sweats and socks, but ughhhh.
I totally agree. I've been wearing the same style of sperry's that my dad has had as well. They're classic! And go with absolutely anything.
But their purpose is to be CLASSIC, and timeless. I don't get it!! All I know is I'm perfectly content with my plain brown leather ones! 🙂
Agreeeeed. My dad wears the same ones he has worn (new pairs through the years) for like 25 years at least!!! They are the same style as the ones I wear, I have a tan pair and a blue pair.
Ditto on the seriously awful. Have you seen the sequin ones? Hideous, simply awful. Those two words should never be used together: Sperry & sequins.
Sending you a smile,
tp
You are oh so correct!
n.a.s.t.y!
Love,
Mrs. Kindergarten
totally agree- if it's not broken, why fix it?
Ugh! I saw ones once that had black bottoms with black sequins. Vomtastic.
Well said, CP. VERY well said.
Lapse in taste on their part while they tried (and failed) for a new demographic.
I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, sometimes when preppy hidden treasures become too mainstream, they lose their extra glamour.
Also, I'm a fan of your blog! I just started my own, so please spread the word..it would be much appreciated!!
xoxo,
class act
I was in the mall last weekend and saw a pair of HIGH TOP Sperrys. My jaw literally dropped and people had to walk around me due to my state of shock. Unbelievable!
I agree with the comments, bur do want a pair of the platinum color- they are not completey off the mark like the ones you showed!
Have you seen the Hunter clogs? HIDEOUS! Not only are they ugly and impractical, but they cost MORE than the boots! http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/3099968?origin=category
