I feel like I’m playing a real life game of “What Came First? The chicken or the egg.” Was I exhausted in the beginning of the week because I was sick…. or was I sick because I wasn’t sleeping enough?
Regardless of why I’m sick, I am. It’s either a terrible cold or a mild flu. I can’t really tell…. but I’m not having that much fun with it. I think the only good thing is that it’s forcing me to rest. I took the afternoon off from work yesterday and slept a ton and worked from bed. (Walking the twelve feet to my kitchen is exhausting to say the least.)
I really dislike being “out of action.” But… as I said… it really is what my body needed. As much as I would like to believe that I was so tired because I was sick… the reality is that I think my body had enough and decided to do something about it.
I stumbled on this video and it’s beyond amazing. It seriously cheered me up and I think it will do the same for you!!!
Totally inspiring and completely beautiful, right?
I’m going to be taking things a little bit slower this week, so if you have any suggestions on blog posts or anything really at all that you want to share.. leave a comment 🙂
Can you do a post about Fall Fashion in Florida? I really love all things fall, the boots and scarves, but the weather in Florida is all "I'm a tropical paradise and I will have the sun radiate immense amounts of heat on you despite your desire to wear cute fall things."
i really want to know how is the cost for living in manhattan i really wont to live there some day, but i have no clue, a lot of people tell me that its sooo expensive, but expensive? how much expensive? heheh tks sooo much, this would be so helpfull!!
Hi Carly! Hope you get well soon!I made some NY themed wallpapers last month and I'd love to do a College Prepster Version that you can use and share. If you're interested check out my wallpapers here: http://blog.jessicamariedesign.com/2012/09/dress-your-tech-new-york.html I'd love to help 🙂
Hey Carly! I loved your post today just like I love all of your other post. That girl is so sweet and extremely smart!! I include your blog now into my morning routine. As I watch the news on TV, I sit on my iPhone or laptop to read your newest post and thumb through some old ones. I have to be careful because I could stay on your site all day. Thanks for all the helpful ideas and sharing your journey. You are truly amazing. Could you consider making a post on balancing media time? I sometimes get out of control with spending most of my day from my laptop to my phone between texting, Pinterest, Facebook, twitter,etc. Do you have any ideas on how to separate and enjoy life? Thank you! I hope you feel better. 🙂
When your toothbrush (@shoptrask!) is so cute you ALMOST don’t want to use it! I considered “saving” it (for what? I don’t know) and decided to ignore my instinct and enjoy it every day! I often have to remind myself about the number of stickers I didn’t use as a kid because I was “saving” them… or stationery collecting dust in a drawer because I was “saving” them… or candles that went unlit because I was “saving” them… or even a cute outfit I was “saving” for a special occasion. Trying to be better about using the things I have and love without guilt!!
I’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!
A wild Saturday night around here… and I wouldn’t want it any other way! A relaxing shower, clean hair, cozy bedtime routine, sourdough, laundry, a clean playroom, mahjong, (a little sweet treat… or two), needlepoint, skincare, and a good book! What could be better???
An evening routine as a mom of two with timestamps!
@mackenziechilds has done it again! Say hello to Mocha Check, the latest pattern in the MacKenzie-Childs family. I am loving how the neutral but warm tones brighten up my office space! Swipe to see how I’ve incorporated the pieces throughout my office. #MCPartner #MCMochaCheck
Getting ready for the day and need help picking out which shoe to wear! My whole outfit is head to toe @amazon! Are we feeling the sneakers or the kitten heel mules?
Comment AMAZON below to receive a DM with the link to shop my whole outfit on my LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/53x8G
Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL. Right now, eligible new subscribers can sign up to get your first 3 months of #Audible for $0.99/month! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram

Get well soon, Carly!
Feel better and take lots of airbourne! There is a nasty bug going around in Maryland, I had it last week and a good friend is on day 8 of the flu.
I hope you feel better soon! I am the same way — I hate slowing down or stopping, and that usually makes me sicker.
Ugh I have been so sick, too! LOVE the video…I did a ballet number from Coppelia a few years ago – what a sweet pea that little girl is!!
Get well soon! You may have done this previously- but I'd love a post on what blogs you read. 🙂 Jen
Get better soon! I hope you're feeling back to yourself in no time. <3
That video really is inspiring, such talent!
Get lots of rest Carly!
I hope you get better soon. Being sick is no fun so I'll be sure to send all my positive healing happy thoughts your way! 🙂
As for that video, TOO ADORABLE!
That girl is major amazingness <3
