Morning routine during the holidays has become so much easier! As the year nears the end (how is it nye already ๐Ÿ˜ณ!?) staying on top of teethbrushing, hair, nails, donโ€™t get me started on the potty training, all while bustling three kids out the door to school in some kind of timely fashion ๐Ÿ˜… the struggle has been so real! Since moving to the beach house things have slowed down so much. Ruby will often be spotted here on her little perch on our front fence, toothbrush and bunny in hand saying good morning to her cousin next door. And again in the evening skipping along the fence watching the sunset. Maybe its the sea breeze, whatever it is, we are soaking up every minute of this summer break and the change of pace it has brought with it. #spon #colgate #holidays We didn't realise we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun ~ Winnie the Pooh. ๐Ÿ’ž#rubyandlotti #cousins #twopeasinapod Boxing Day essentials ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœจ we are belly up relaxo mode! How's our crystal collection! so on point! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ my amazing friend @oursatellitehearts basically got me hooked, this girl knows her stuff and her shop has the cutest and most rarest pieces. Despite the recent trend upsurge and also potential dubiousness here's what I love most about them. Find a stone you're drawn to, set your intention , stop, think, feel. Whether it's a pseudoscience, or an actual thing, the energy is so real. Kind of like meditation with tangibility ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป I am smitten but even my kids and their friends all love the colours and textures. Ruby here, three going on thirteen and all the meltdowns, regrouping listening to a Peterpan audio book.  So needed after a hectic silly season! Kind of obsessed with our rapidly growing collection ๐Ÿ˜‚ but you know, all that colour ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ˜ One more sleep one more sleep one more sleep ๐ŸŽ„โœจ๐ŸŽ„โœจ๐ŸŽ„โœจ wishing you all a safe and merry Christmas full of love and light. We are set up by the ocean with family and close friends eating our body weight in seafood and champagne ! Ruby and her cousin Lotti inseparable and beyond excited ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ„thanks for sticking with us through a very hard year, sporadic content and all the emotions, your support has been felt and so appreciated. big love from our family to yours this Christmas โœจ xxC If only I woke up with the energy of miss three every day ๐Ÿ˜…! Rubes and I loved putting together this little video for @colgate . The cutest little developmental memory to treasure โ˜บ๏ธToothbrushing has not been our strong point. Or hair washing, or bathing in general for that matter. Still working on the latter!! Thank goodness for summer and evening paddling pool enthusiasm. But Ruby's new tickling toothbrush has totally helped in the toothie peg cleaning department!! Now if I could just get her to ration that super tasty sparkly toothpaste ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜… #practicallynailsatubeaday #anythingforthreeminutesofquiet ๐Ÿ˜‚ #spon Well look who has a big girl bed, kind of! I know I know so overdue but this year has been CRAZY and she loved her cot soooooo much so before we knew it we had a full grown child with an addiction to sleeping behind bars ๐Ÿ˜‚ we've set her up at the beach house for summer with a cot conversion we luckily found last minute from our our beautiful friends at @outofthecot , and she couldn't be happier . More on this beautiful store , and why we decided to convert the cot , instead of a junior bed - over on my blog. Link in profile ๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™ƒ We've been soaking up the hot summer nights, and getting ready for Christmas by the ocean ๐Ÿ”ฎโœจ๐ŸŒ” #holidays And....exhale. Hello summer, we've been waiting for you! You'll find us here ๐ŸŒดโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒด So excited itโ€™s finally summer vibes โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ. Our obsession is real! We have now fully settled in at the beach for 3 months while our renovation is completed (donโ€™t even get me started on moving twice in 6 months!). The upside, Itโ€™s going to be our beachiest fruitiest summer yet! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป YASS! I was thrilled to be asked to create some content for the @peteralexanderofficial X @mocconacoffee collaboration this year. So many cute designs the up cycling opportunities were endless. This smoothie didnโ€™t last long! In stores now. And can we talk about Rubyโ€™s pineapple maxi skirt!? I want one for me! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ#wakeupinstyle
