Eli at NINE Months Old!

May 7, 2018 CarlyRoseLeave a comment

I almost wish that it was July already so these posts would end… I don’t actually WANT these posts to end but I feel like every month my anxiety levels build and build knowing that the it means Eli is a month closer and closer to turning the big ONE! I love him being a… Continue reading Eli at NINE Months Old!

Anchored East Diaper Bag Backpack – Mini Review

April 17, 2018April 17, 2018 CarlyRoseLeave a comment

I’m not sure about you guys but I for one, am sick of this weather! I’m not sure what’s going on with Mother Nature but when it’s mid April and there’s a snowbank at the side of my house, it does not sit well with me. I try my hardest not to complain about the… Continue reading Anchored East Diaper Bag Backpack – Mini Review

Nate Growing Up

March 27, 2018 CarlyRose3 Comments

Lately, I’ve been feeling all nostalgic about Nate and how much he’s changed these past three and a half years. In some ways it feels like just yesterday that he was born but then there are days, like today, where it seems like he’s been on this Earth much, much longer. I sort of associate… Continue reading Nate Growing Up

Eli At EIGHT Months Old!

March 23, 2018March 23, 2018 CarlyRoseLeave a comment

Oliver the Bear from the wonderful business Cuddle and Kind I refuse to believe that in four months this little baby will turn one! I just cannot accept that fact because it seems too soon; far, far too soon for it to be true! I really need someone to invent a remote that can pause… Continue reading Eli At EIGHT Months Old!

Everything Has a Place and Everything in Its Place

March 14, 2018March 14, 2018 CarlyRose2 Comments

*Full disclaimer: This playroom 99.9% of the time does not look like this! Usually there is an entire toy box dumped out all over the floor so because it’s actually clean for once, I felt the need to have a toy storage post.* When Nate was almost a year old, my mom and stepdad moved… Continue reading Everything Has a Place and Everything in Its Place

Boys Rooms- Update

March 7, 2018March 8, 2018 CarlyRose4 Comments

A few months back – actually scratch that it was more like almost a year back- I did a little tour of Nate’s ‘Big Boy’ room as well as what we had started doing in Eli’s nursery (here!) but since I’ve added a few new pieces (because I have a shopping addiction when it comes… Continue reading Boys Rooms- Update

Postpartum: Things to Expect

March 5, 2018 CarlyRose1 Comment

So you’ve just had a baby and you’re still in all that newborn heaven bliss, savoring every snuggle, every smell, and memorizing every teeny, tiny feature that you created. It’s magical right? But what comes next? What does ‘postpartum’ actually entail? Prior to having Nate, I had tons of people giving me advice on my… Continue reading Postpartum: Things to Expect

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
