Welcome to my crazy beautiful journey raising two boys by the bay – Flynn & Archer. These pages are my reflections on life with little ones – places we go, things we love and memories we make. I hope they inspire you, make you laugh or at least remind you that you are not alone in this parenting journey.
About Us.
Carly.
The one they call mama. Living my best life with two crazy coconuts and their daddy in Bayside Melbourne.
Flynn.
The one who made me a mama. My cheeky car lover, who can simultaneously drive me bonkers and melt my heart.
Archer.
The one we call Pie. My littlest little, with eyes like oceans and dimples for days. He’s a mama’s boy. And I secretly love it!
Michael.
The one who helped me make them. Daddy bear. Who reluctantly indulges my obsession with capturing every moment and memory.
