Early Bird Dinner Time

February 11, 2019February 11, 2019 CarlyRoseLeave a comment

One thing I’ve learned from being a mom is that dinner time for me is the hardest part of my day. I will gladly take the hectic morning rush over the late afternoon/early evening tantrums. Typically at this point in the day Eli is starting to get fussy as his bedtime approaches and Nate is… Continue reading Early Bird Dinner Time

School Update!

October 19, 2018 CarlyRoseLeave a comment

It’s been over a month since Nate started school… can you believe it!? Over one month since this little dude of mine began Junior Kindergarten! And even more shocking than that is the fact that he’ll be turning FOUR exactly one week from now! I’m so proud of how far he’s come in terms of… Continue reading School Update!

How to Support a Small Business

October 19, 2018 CarlyRoseLeave a comment

I’m sure we all know a family member, friend, or a friend-of-a-friend who has their own business. The whole ‘shop local’ and ‘shop small’ trends are becoming more and more popular which means more and more people are taking the leap and building a business for themselves. One thing I often hear is that a… Continue reading How to Support a Small Business

One Week Today

August 30, 2018October 19, 2018 CarlyRose1 Comment

On Thursday September 6th 2018 Nate will attend school for the very first time! I honestly cannot believe that the past three and a half year have gone by as fast as they have! It seems like it should have been yesterday that we were leaving the hospital with our new addition and settling into… Continue reading One Week Today

Shop Small Saturday

July 28, 2018 CarlyRose1 Comment

Well, here we are again! Another month has passed us by and summer is basically half way through. Sorry, to burst that bubble summer lovers but honestly I for one cannot wait for Fall. I’ve never been ashamed of my Basic White Girl tendencies and it’s just been so humid lately that I’m dying for… Continue reading Shop Small Saturday

Eli at 12 Months Old!!!

July 25, 2018 CarlyRoseLeave a comment

I seriously cannot believe I’m sitting at my desk typing this out already. There’s absolutely no way that this past Saturday was Eli’s first birthday! I honestly think I’m still in shock over how fast this year flew by. I can vividly remember bringing this teeny, tiny newborn baby home from the hospital and yet… Continue reading Eli at 12 Months Old!!!

Eli at 11 Months Old!!

July 10, 2018 CarlyRoseLeave a comment

Eeeeek!! I’m so late on posting this little update that Eli is turning the big ONE in under two weeks now! I seriously cannot believe that the entire year has already passed on by! It feels like it was just yesterday that I was seeing my OB every week and eagerly anticipating Eli’s arrival. I… Continue reading Eli at 11 Months Old!!

Hey there! I'm Carly, a momma to two beautiful boys, wife, cat mom, nurse, lover of all things chocolate, and coffee addict! Three years ago I started this blog as a means of documenting my oldest son's first year of life and as he grew, so did my blog. It's evolved into a space where I share our adventures, document things I want to remember, talk about products and businesses I love to support, and so much more! Thanks for stopping by my little space!

After last week I'm completely over winter but even I have to admit, this view with all the snow is quite pretty. . . . . . . . . . . . . #porthope #farmlife #northumberlandcounty #countryroads #winterincanada #liveauthentic #outdoors #explore #countrylife #liveoutdoors #pursuepretty #momentsofmine #thisviewtho #winter #ontario #countryroadstakemehome
Never used to be a huge fan of today but these two faces sure have changed things. So from myself, Cupid's Wingman (who yes is playing with his belly button here) and a tiny heart throb, Happy Valentine's Day! #happyheartday #myloves #boymom #momlife #lovelysquares #momswithcameras #mylittlevalentines
Haven't found a permanent spot for this to hang but this is us and I love it ❤
Snow days call for busting out all the old toys they haven't seen in a while so I can keep my sanity. It's only mildly working. I'll be so happy when winter is over... . . . . . . . . . . . . . #NateandEli #BigandLittle #snowday #winterishere #snowedin #momlife #honestlymothering #boymom #honestmommin #motherhood #motherhoodintheraw #myhonestmotherhood #parenting #magicofchildhood #morningslikethese #modernmom #boymama #childhoodunplugged #thisismotherhood #brothers #mainecoonsofinstagram
Oh my big boy! I can't handle how fast you're growing up!! Just before we left to go skating, I said to Nate "can you stop getting older please?" And he responded "But I can't Mommy. I growing. I keep growing and growing and growing." And my heart simultaneously burst with love for this kid and shattered with the realization that he is totally right. He cannot stop growing and getting older. Time is a funny thing... as much as I want it to slow down, I also can't wait to see what the future holds for him. . . . . . . . . . . . #NatetheGreat #mylittlelove #magicofchildhood #myhappycapture #boymom #momlife #lovelysquares #momswithcameras #outdoors #pursuepretty #liveauthentic #myhonestmotherhood #motherhoodunplugged #thehappynow #motherhoodintheraw #honestlymothering #littleskater #futurehockeyplayer #boymama #childhoodunplugged #modernmom
Since everything is literally covered in ice, I'm throwing it back to September when you didn't need to lace up your skates just to make it to your car. I know everyone always says January takes an entire year to finish but honestly that's how February feels to me and it's the shortest month! What about you guys? Are you also currently covered in a blanket of ice? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #myhonestmotherhood #modernmom #momlife #boymom #lovelysquares #momswithcameras #outdoors #treefarm #pursuepretty #liveauthentic #momofboys #honestmommin #momlifeisthebestlife #myhappycapture #momentsofmine #petitejoys #boymama #honestlymothering #thehappynow #thisisus #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodintheraw
