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!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep.

Definitely not judging the leggings….I'm impressed you're even dressed. I'm still in my pajamas "embarrassing*.
Still cute! More put together than me most days. What is your job at fashion week? Gosh I wish I was there right now.

Perfection! Not judging the leggings at all, I totally understand it. As much as I used to say "leggings aren't pants!" I find myself wearing them that way more and more … Sometimes you have to choose comfort over style 🙂

i love the chambray…i NEED to invest in one.
I'm guilty of doing the same thing today. And it feels great! 🙂
actually wearing this outfit with jeans. I'm about to take a walk with my friend and starting packing my room.
I sometimes secretly wish: if I ever leave home again, and I am pretty sure it will happen soon, make my roomy be just like Carly. Organized and energized.
🙂
(Not judging) Great confortable look
😉
Have a great week.
What are you doing for fashion week? I'm curious 🙂
I'm not judging…I'm jealous! I wish I had gotten to lounge in leggings.

Still looks cute and put together! That was my day yesterday, today was a lot of running around. Tons of work at the beginning of the semester!
My go-tos as well, haha! Leggings are most definitely pants.
Fashion Week!
Ahhh I'm so jealous of anyone who is there right now!
I'm interested in seeing what you're doing for NYFW. Pictures please?? 🙂
As for this outfit, I'm definitely not judging.
Chambray shirts are like one of the holiest shirts ever. Nothing beats them. Seriously. They go with everything and can be dressed up or dressed down!
As for the leggings, um who said that they aren't pants? I always thought they were…. 🙂
Heehee 🙂
Enjoy your relaxation for as long as it lasts Carly!
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and got enough rest to carry you through!
