I’ve been going consistently and as often as my schedule allows since. I’m hooked. The hour or so that I’m there has turned into the hour I look forward to the most in my day. Well… I’m really excited to share that I’m hosting a class at Pure Yoga East (203 E. 86th St) on May 2nd from 2:15-3:15. My favorite (!!!) instructor will be teaching, so it’s going to be extra awesome.
Space is extremely limited so please RSVP using this form if you can make it. Please be sure you can commit to coming on that day for the entire class when signing up to ensure that everyone who wants to come is able to.
Signing up does not guarantee your spot. We will send out a confirmation email to the first 50 people who sign up. And we will send out a waitlist email if space is already full. (If enough people sign up we might be able to open up a second class.) Feel free to email me (carly at thecollegeprepster dot com) if you have any questions.
The class is going to be great for all levels, including (of course!) beginners so please don’t be intimidated by coming if you’ve never done yoga before. I really want everyone to be able to experience it!
Also, I just have to share Lilly’s latest yoga pants and yoga top. I. Am. Obsessed. The minute I knew these were going to be in stores, I made plans to purchase both. Great fabric and the print is to die for. The mat is from Athleta!
When I saw your tweet, I was so excited to see what the surprise would be! Ahhhh! I'm just a few hours away, but that's during my exam week 🙁 Anyways, this looks like a lot of fun though, and I love your outfit! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
This and yap 🤍 Don’t forget to create holiday magic for yourself too! I can’t tell you how nice it was to do some gingerbread decorating without having to follow a three year old’s vision (or fight the sugar battle)! It’s fun to do it with kids, too, but sometimes you just need coffee, baked goods, and little bit of kid-free catch up time with your mom friends! Thank you for hosting @blueskyehouse!!
I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do for fun in 2024. I crossed off exactly zero of them (having a baby will do that to ya) and my only hope of accomplishing one would be to host a cookie exchange! I wanted to SO bad but I was also feeling exhausted after a long year (losing a dog, having a baby, running a business, etc.) and I didn’t know if I had hosting a party in me. I sent out the invitations and told myself I’d figure it out. There was no going back! It was SO FUN though and I will be doing this again. I feel like so much of the holidays as a mom is spent making the magic for kids. It’s Santa meet and greets, Christmas shopping, holiday pageants…. And then seeing Santa again (and again and again). THIS party was for us! 🥂
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨
Audiobooks have been my secret weapon for fitting reading into a busy life. Whether I’m folding laundry, driving to preschool drop-off, or squeezing in a solo walk, I can dive into a story at the touch of a button—and @Audible makes it so easy.

This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
How fun! Wish I lived in NYC for this!
