With a few trips under my belt already for 2020 and a few already planned, I have had travel on my mind. I absolutely hate packing– I’m always afraid I’m going to leave something behind and just wish I could have access to my whole closet wherever I end up, ha! Cute travel accessories can help making the packing process a little smoother– or at least a little more enjoyable– right?
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
I definitely need to invest on more travel accessories! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Are the Blue Seersucker Travel Set packing cubes? Have you heard of packing cubes?
Here’s a link for pink packing cubes.

A trench shell is a lightweight rain jacket, made to wear in mild weather or over another jacket. I don’t know what ‘trench girl style” is but if you insist on wearing a trench coat in winter, you should invest in a heavier wool/insulated one.
What are you talking about Nancy?
I’m talking about how Carly wears a shell/uninsulated trench coat in cold weather, when the coat is intended as a rain jacket. Does that help ?
No, that doesn’t help. Why would you make a condescending remark on a jacket when the post is clearly about travel accessories? How utterly rude and classless to tell a stranger what she can wear in certain climates.
Carly – your intro comment in your latest sponsored insta post has a typo in it….pretty sure you mean you “try my best TO #expressthanks…”.
I’ll never understand why you don’t proofread.
Love this! Do you have any tips on how you organize your suitcase? Like do all your accessories go in the clear Truffle? Would love to hear how you do it!
Definitely need to get luggage with my initials! So cute and preppy.

These are the perfect travel accessories, and I love that suitcase!

Hey Carly! I love your recommendations and picks. Just thinking the timing on this one is a little weird with coronavirus on everybody’s mind. My upcoming trip to Italy in April has been cancelled, and I can’t help but think a nod to healthy travel practices and safe travels during this time would have been a good addition to this post!
Glad I’m not the only one who thought this post was a little tone-deaf ; it just reminded me of all my upcoming trips that will probably need to be cancelled 🙁
