I met Arielle this fall when we both took the same newsletter workshop downtown and ended up taking the six train uptown together to the exact same stop. Turns out we have a bunch of friends in common, too! Arielle is the queen of healthy living, but not in a granola-y way. One day we were…
Who doesn’t love Nutella?! I mean, there’s something ridiculously amazing about. It’s good with and on so many things. I love Nutella in crepes and Nutella on toast and Nutella on a spoon. Delicious! I saw a handful of recipes for Nutella lattes and hot chocolate floating around on Pinterest. I’ve made my own and…
There’s something about November and December that makes my sweet tooth ache for chocolatey things. I’ve personally been baking brownies and cookies like it’s my job over here…. my mouth legitimately started drooling when Louisa from Living Lou sent me the recipe for these Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars. Yum, yum, yum. Guest recipe by Louisa…
Louisa is here again today with a healthy and autumn-y dish. Roasted vegetables are one of my favorite comfort foods and I love the way she prepares them. (I love the way they make my kitchen smell too while they’re cooking.) Definitely cooking these up this week! Recipe: Roasted Root Vegetables By: Living Lou If I’m…
Always excited to share Louisa from Living Lou’s recipes on here. I’ve really, really been making an effort to grocery shop and cook at home. The simpler the recipe the better. (This weekend it was simple pasta and tomato sauce… that counts, right?) It’s easier for me to do dinners because by the end of the…
Louisa from Living Lou is back with her incredible recipes! I know how to make a very limited number of things in the kitchen, and I’m missing a lot of the basics in my repertoire! I love that, while these recipes are “basic,” they still teach great kitchen lessons (great for practicing!) and can be used with…
Another great recipe from Louisa of Living Lou today! If you’re reading this early enough, definitely consider whipping this up for a great Monday morning breakfast or pin it and save for a quiet weekend.

So… I’ve fallen off the cooking in my apartment bandwagon again. But, this guest post from Louisa of Living Lou just might get me to start back up. I personally struggle with creating super flavorful meals at home and I love going out to Mexican restaurants. Reading this had my mouth watering!!! YUM. Mexican Quinoa Stuffed…
Louisa from Living Lou is back today with an amazing snack for your next girls’ night in. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love chips and salsa (and guacamole, of course). In my family, “chips and salsa” is basically a major food group and we crave it like nothing else. Yum! **** Girls’ Night In…

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! 🫶🏻
