I often am overwhelmed by the number of restaurants in NYC. As hard as I try to visit new places, I know I fall into the rut of visiting my favorite tried and true places over and over again or simply ordering in because there’s seemingly always another day for a restaurant adventure. This week,…
Garrett is obsessed with the yogurt parfait things from Starbucks. It might be 85% of his diet. Every time he gets one he makes me take a bite. Honestly, yogurt tends to make me gag– literally gag. But I guess all the bites I’ve been taking have finally made me a little bit more okay…
Can I just put it out there how I love long days. I’ve been waking up with the sun recently, taking Teddy out for long walks in Central Park. (Seriously, if anyone is up for a 6am walk with a puppy… you should come. It’s hilarious and makes me so happy and could not be a better…
This weekend was the first weekend this year that I had nothing scheduled. Not. One. Thing. It was truly glorious. I went to bed relatively early on Friday and didn’t set an alarm for Saturday. Is there anything better than being able to take your time waking up and getting ready? I could do any and…

I had brunch at Lafayette this morning with a blog reader and oh my goodness it was fabulous! I love a good brunch no matter what, but this one was especially great. I’ve been to Lafayette before for events, but never sat down to eat at the actual restaurant. How soon is too soon to…
I moved to New York City exactly six months ago. The time has flown by. Yet, at the same time, I feel like I’ve been here forever. I love this city. Absolutely everything about it. The city is beyond busy, yet not a day goes by that I don’t see a Georgetown friend on the subway,…

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! 🫶🏻
