Last week, I met up with two of my friends (Julia + Meg) for an afternoon at the beach with our dogs. I was running late, of course, as I tried to wrangle two dogs into harnesses and leashes… and then I got a call from my accountant which left me feeling drained. The beach…
It’s been a while since the last Teddy update. I snapped some photos of him last week and I have to say, he’s looking mighty adorable. I took him in to get his summer cut the following day. While I miss the curly q look, he’s so soft and extra fluffy now… and much cooler….
I’m kicking off today’s post with a few photos of Teddy. There must have been something in his water this week because I swear he was extra adorable. We finally finally finally got to enjoy Central Park this week. Taking him out before 9am in the winter is extra challenging because it’s so cold. Both for…
I cannot believe it’s been exactly a year since I took Teddy home!!! Exactly one year ago, I was terrified out of my mind wondering what in the world I was thinking getting a dog. The whole day I was in denial that he was actually coming; I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around what…
It just blows my mind how quickly Teddy is growing up! One minute he needs help getting up and down the stairs and now he’s taking on Central Park without a leash. (God help me when I’m a parent… seriously, sometimes I just look at him and cry.) He’s really such a sweet puppy dog….
Teddy recently passed the eight month mark, which also means that I’ve had him for over six months. In some ways I feel like I was just picking him up in Grand Central and staying up for basically two weeks straight with a crying puppy and in other ways I feel like he’s always been…
It’s a sad day here with Teddy. The little guy hurt his leg. Unfortunately, it’s a common injury with Toy Poodle puppies as the growth plate has completely sealed off. He does this little jumpy/bouncy/hoppy thing and just landed on his leg in the wrong way. He was limping around and I took him to…
I was going through my phone this week deleting photos and videos to make room for more (#standard). I kept coming across pictures of Teddy as a puppy. He’s grown so much since I got him. In some ways I feel like he’s always been in my life, but at the same time not long…
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! 🫶🏻
