an arlo room update, pt 1! sadly we couldn’t fit an arlo room update, pt 1! sadly we couldn’t fit his bunkbed in his new room, but there was no way i was saying goodbye to his @avocado.green mattresses, so i searched forever for a full over twin trundle until i realized @avocado.green makes the perfect one!!! i’m so happy we’ll still have space for guests when they come visit us 😭 

it’s solid wood and individually crafted in their workshop in LA, made with non-toxic, zero-VOC glues, paint, and varnishes, and it comes with or without the trundle and in twin size too. i feel like he’ll be sleeping on this until college?! 

both my kids use @avocado.green mattresses and not only are they incredibly comfy, but they’re also made of certified organic wool, cotton, and latex to keep them cool and dry in summer, and warm in winter (which we’re gonna need for the first time ever now!) his friend even got the same mattress after a sleepover because he begged his mom hahah 

comment WANT for the links sent straight to your dms 🤍

yes she moved to the beach and she bought a hutch yes she moved to the beach and she bought a hutch on marketplace the end
just a simple little summer dinner outside — i m just a simple little summer dinner outside — i made @nytcooking one-pan roasted fish with tomatoes (i used cod and it was so easy and good!) and set the table with the flowers we picked ourselves 🥹

also did some pearled couscous in case the kids hated the fish (arlo was excited to try it and didn’t end up liking, izzy refused to try it and finally did when we were all done and loved it) and a simple herby green salad 

trying to enjoy as many meals outside as we can because apparently we won’t be able to do that all year long!?!
we are so not used to having LAND and the quotes i we are so not used to having LAND and the quotes i’ve gotten to mow are bonkers - but we’re going to save so much time and money now because of our new ROBOT LAWNMOVER!! this is the @Navimow X3 Series and it’s life changing.

it’s got precise AI mapping, can see all obstacles in its way and figures out the virtual boundaries of your entire yard. our yard is basically one giant slope and has boulders everywhere, and it can handle it all, no problem! it’s also SO quiet, so quiet that i can peacefully sit outside with a cocktail while he mows!

we can even start it up by just saying “hey google…!!” and when it’s done (or low on battery) it just goes back to it’s home and charges back up!!

honestly the best thing we’ve gotten for the house by FAR!!!!

spoiler — it’s not much! but at least our tvs spoiler — it’s not much!

but at least our tvs are up and running! seeing it all back to back makes me feel a little less guilty about how little it felt like we accomplished. we still have boxes everywhere and probably will for a while too, but at least it’s feeling like home

my brain has been complete mush and it’s been really hard to focus on a single room let alone a single project, but in a month— school will start and MAYBE i’ll be able to finish a task!!!? maybe?!

ps still haven’t found a box to cover the tv box in our bedroom and it bothers me daily 😆😭
some playroom progress! these decals make the trof some playroom progress! these decals make the trofast drawers look so much cuter, and for the first time ever i’ve labeled all the drawers and it is helping me and only me keep them so much tidier!

now i’m debating between wallpaper in here— a fun squiggly stripe? is that too much stripe? a fun coastal pattern or is that way too themey? i want some shelves in here too so thinking about doing them like arlos room, or should i change it up!? 

if you want the links for anything just comment WANT and i’ll send em straight to your inbox 💌
