Refreshing our living space

It seems as though 2021 has been a year to upgrade our home finally. From our backyard oasis, and now we’re currently working on a living room refresh. With two small children at home, and no playroom except for our living room, it’s a bit cramped in here with kids toys, a playpen, and our tv + tv stand.

I’m not going to show you the whole space completely finished for a few more weeks yet, but for now I’m thinking that we’re going to add some framed artwork on the wall along with moving some furniture around to work better for us.

Ideally I’d love to have a designated space for the boys toys, and a focal point to the room instead of what it feels like now: a mish-mash of random stuff. 

I’m torn between two ideas: one being two art prints on either side of the TV, or having framed photos our boys in almost a gallery-wall style up on the wall. 

So! If you’re interested in the reveal, come back in a few weeks (mid-September) and I’ll reveal it all to you guys.

Here are some options I’ll be incorporating to the reveal!

OOTD from Tom Cridland’s sustainable clothing line

Tom Cridland is a singer songwriter, fashion designer, podcaster and entrepreneur and he recently launched the world’s first ever full collection of sustainable clothing that is backed with a 30 Year Guarantee. And I got to check out an item from the collection. 30 Year Hoodies, T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and more are made out of 100% GOTs certified organic cotton, and built to last a lifetime. 

Despite the summer weather here in California, the mornings have always been on the cooler side. I love to cozy up in loungewear most of the time, especially with two small boys at home. I’ve been going on 5:30am walks with my littlest guy, and have been wearing this hoody when it’s crisp outside.

If you’re on the hunt for super soft and cozy basics that are long lasting check out Tom Cridland’s collection. Here, I’m wearing the sustainable hoodies, made out of organic cotton and recycled polyester. It comes in an incredible amount of colours from pull-over hoodies to zip ups.

A nautical look with my toddler

Nautical Mondays. âš“

It’s not often that you can find mommy and son matching clothes, but I’m kinda really diggin’ this one. How adorable does bebs look in his shades, jeans and flip flops. A true California boy. He’s wearing a size 6 here in the top so he definitely has tons of room to grow. I wish I had sized down to a small in this one, I pinned the top in the back to make it more fitted. I got a medium, and in hindsight should have got a small.
 
We’re both wearing striped terry cloth polo shirts from Castaway Nantucket. I love the quality – perfect for wearing to the beach or pool this summer, or simply lounging in the backyard as it’s made from moisture wicking fabric.
