Cozy Summer Fun

 photo IMG_8365.jpg

It’s officially summer vacation around these parts and we are working on creating our summer bucket list. Since we have a new baby it’s hard to get out and about to do a lot of your typical summer activities. So we have to get creative! Luckily both of the older two LOVE to stay home more than anything…they are homebodies just like their mama!

What’s been a special treat for us is to have movie dates and book reading marathons. Both kids think it’s so fun to pop some popcorn and cuddle up under their new favorite sherpa blankets from Mouse + Magpie!

We also love to pick out a ton of books and snuggle up and read them all together. I love watching their little imaginations soar. I’m so thankful they both love to “read” books…I’m hoping that’s something that will continue!

I also love to 
encourage Hudson to make up his own stories…he thinks it’s so fun and I love watching him explore his creativity and curiosity.

Of course they have to burn some energy too. Crazies.

Both kids have been enjoying their Mouse + Magpie sherpa blankets and matching throw pillows. Mouse + Magpie is a child-inspired, adult curated collection of home furnishings and products exclusively designed by artists and illustrators.

Mouse + Magpie was created specifically for little people with big imaginations. Their design community is made up of international artists intent on putting imagination into the minds of children and easy-to-implement designs into the hands of adults. LOVE that!

Hudson and Sadie love snuggling up with these blankets! They are soft and cuddly and so well made. We just love them!

Mouse + Magpie also has a beautiful collection of art and canvas prints, lamps, and clocks…all that coordinate and are beyond adorable! We love our sherpa blankets so much that I’m giving one away on Instagram today, so be sure to check it out!
