One last holiday gift guide for 2015. Of all the things, stocking stuffers are some of my favorites to give. I put together what I consider a pretty epic list of 25 items that would fit perfectly inside of a stocking. Also works for regular gifts too 😉 Hunter Boot Liners // LL Bean Boots…
When I moved to Connecticut, I realized just how many Little Black Dresses I have. I found it funny as I packed them in boxes and a little absurd as I unpacked them for my new closet. The “collection” is out of control and I promised myself that I wouldn’t buy a new one without…
Maxie and I are so on the same page. I try to soak up as much of the holiday spirit as possible because I know it’ll be over before we know it. I created my own December bucket list and Maxie has taken it one step further with this guest post! 25 Ways to Get…
Ever since starting to read Harry Potter again, I’ve been on the biggest HP kick. My sister and I have all the books in Florida, but I only brought the book I was reading back to Connecticut since my luggage was stuffed already. I found myself standing at the Harry Potter table in Barnes and…
I put together a few cute bags that would make great Christmas gifts this year. MZ Wallace Quilted Tote // These are the “it” gym bag right now. Seriously, you see the locker room at the yoga studio… everyone has it. It’s super functional but cute enough to carry around for errands on the weekend…
I love a good monogrammed gift. Both to give and to receive! I think that a monogrammed item shows that you care and took the time to get something perfectly personalized just right for the recipient. Mark and Graham asked me to share some of my monogrammed holiday gift picks here and I jumped at the chance….
If you have people on your shopping list that have you stumped on what to give, try a coffee table book. There are so many amazing coffee table books out there that you could actually get one for everyone on your list. A little bit of a silly reason, but books also wrap beautifully and look…

One of my favorite online destinations for shopping is Tuckernuck. They are seriously the best curators of products. Which comes in handy during the holidays because you can pick up something for everyone on your list: the gals and the guys. Monogrammed Weekender | Straw Hat with Bow | Tortoiseshell Clutch Tartan Scarf | Tassel Earrings | Wrap…
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!

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! 🫶🏻
