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
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
How fun! Wish I lived in NYC for this!

What happened to "a model I am not"? Lots of fun modeling again today!
I had no idea Lilly was doing active wear again! So adorable!
If I were in New York I would totally try and attend. I am by no means a yoga expert but I find yoga so refreshing. Love your Lilly yoga outfit!
I love this!! Wish I was in the city for this…would be so fun!! Enjoy! Xo
