Attending a Friendsgiving is on my November bucket list so Louisa’s guest post today couldn’t be better timing! How to Have the Best “Friendsgiving” Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and because we celebrate our Thanksgiving in Canada during October, I’ve got plenty of tips and tricks for your own…
My mom and sister and I all hopped on the universe train a few years ago after reading this book. I mention it from time to time to other people and they either look at me like I have three heads or they nod in complete agreement having experienced the moments themselves too. It drives…
I don’t consider myself a good cook at all. (Baking, yes. Cooking…. no way.) However, I’ve been really forcing myself to practice at least four times a week cooking something new in the kitchen. Using the Plated service has absolutely helped because the recipes always have one or two steps that push me outside my…
Maxie is one of the most interesting people I know! Before I even met her, I knew a lot about her. While we started working for the same company at the same time, she was working remotely. My coworkers who knew her would constantly talk about all these cool Maxie things. I was dying to meet…
This recipe from Living Lou may just take the (pan)cake in terms of fall deliciousness. I’ve been bit by the pumpkin bug this year and I’ve been been wanting any and everything pumpkin related. Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou Everyone loves fall and one of my favorite things about…
Does anyone else look for signs? I’m kind of superstitious and will find myself saying, “Oh, this has to be a sign…” A string of red lights when I’m running late? A sign that my next meeting won’t go well. Finding twenty dollars in a pair of jeans I haven’t worn since last year? Definitely a…
I have been slowly working on stocking my pantry. Since following Louisa’s food blog, she’s made me realize how versatile tuna is. Honestly it is not something that’s top of mine for me, but her recipes are just too good! Especially for lunches which I think are always the hardest to come up with inspiring…
Maxie is one of those super close friends that I have with whom I can share anything with. She’s been the first to hear great news countless times. She has heard me cry, brainstorm, and vent. She’s been a cheerleader, a support system, a sounding board, and a constructive critic. I’ve done the same for her….
I’m actually in the process of stocking my entire kitchen. All I had in my NYC kitchen was a coffee maker, a waffle iron, one pan, one pot, and a spatula. I obviously got a lot of cooking done… Moving into an apartment with a real kitchen was thrilling! But we couldn’t do much without…
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! 🫶🏻
