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! 🫶🏻

the ruffle bottoms are sooooooooooooooooo cute but I think they would make my hiney look soooo huge. 🙂
I am in no way, shape, or form ready for bikini season!!! AHH!!! Thinking about trying yoga…. thoughts?
P.S. I'm a newbie, and you should check out my blog. I'm a senior at UW-Madison!!
Today's post was about my new shoes 🙂 http://schlepperchic.blogspot.com/2011/03/these-shoes.html
LOVE the lobster suit! I've never seen anything like that before, it's unique!
@Madison, I highly recommend yoga… it's SO relaxing. And rewarding. You'll love it! (Cute blog by the way!)

All of the suits from Anthro this year are darling! I think I might have to get one or 2 from there. I also love Island Company suits, they are well made and fit very well!
Oh my gosh I love that Anthro suit! Might have to get that for myself!
I posted about the Anthropologie suit a while ago.. isn't it TDF?!
I love those bathing suits!
The Maine suit is absolutely adorable but grown-up at the same time. Though the bottom looks as though it may fit a bit strangely…. I guess the lobster print makes up for any awkward fit!
Old Navy has really cute ruffle bandeau tops this year!

I always buy a couple from Target, too–they're too cheap to resist! That first Anthro suit is adorable, though. 🙂
Really, really cute and simply! Question… the grace panty is designed for bias woven int he center front, right? So did you make any adjustment for the change in fabric, or did you just go with it as is?Also thanks for sharing your technique and your swimsuit.
