Summer Fridays are amazing. In the city, everyone basically lives for Friday. Some offices start an hour early and then people go home early… some end at lunch… some are off-site field trips for professional development or team building… some are completely off.
Levo doesn’t technically have Summer Fridays… but I always start early because I just know that my brain walks right out of the door at 2pm. My brain walks right out on out. Seriously. See ya.
Union Square is definitely not my most favorite part of the city… but I think it’s a great place to work. The subway station has all the convenient trains. There’s a Whole Foods, a Dunkin Donuts, two options for Starbucks, one hundred restaurants that serve margaritas within walking distance, Fifth Ave shopping right around the corner, and a super short walk to the Flatiron District (my favorite place)!
Oh… and the Union Square Greenmarket. The farmers market is literally so much fun to simply walk through. Walking through and seeing what the different vendors are selling after work on Friday is the perfect way to kick off the weekend. I love meeting up with friends who work in the area, walking around for a bit, and then grabbing dinner. The best.
The Kate Spade Thelma dress is pretty much my new favorite dress. I knew that I had to get it and I’m already planning on wearing it to a million different places this summer. It’s sweet, comfortable, and great for the heat. And the pockets and collar details? I die.
Love the dress! Sounds like loads of fun. When I'm in the city, I love walking around Newbury St with a coffee in hand. In the country, laying on the dock or deck with a book is my favorite. Gotta love summer!
You look so cute! And that little Minka is to die for. My Saturday mornings are usually reserved for brunch + market shopping for me…I love weekend rituals!!
Tell me about it! I just want to leave my job at like noon! Fridays during the summer are the worst because you are so close to the weekend but you still have to finish up the day!! aaahh
I love Summer Fridays. We don't have any set time to leave, but we're all gone by four to head out for post-work drinks together without fail every time.
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! 🫶🏻
