So everyone’s talking about a 90s summer with their kids and I’m loving it! I grew up in that era when summers were simple. My kids will be enjoying days outside at the pool, running through sprinkles, and eating popsicles. No schedule, just fun summer days. 

This outfit reminds me of the 90s with the bright blue colors💙How will you be spending your summer break? #summerootd #athleisurestyle

favorite newborn accessory here’s my little secr favorite newborn accessory 

here’s my little secret to getting things done around the house with a newborn. I love the Wildbird baby carrier! It’s easy to put on and comfy for both of us. My baby boy always falls asleep and I’m able to have productive days. Homeschooling and checking off my daily household tasks is so much easier with this baby carrier. Also my baby boy is 12 pounds so I’m basically wearing a weighted vest and getting my daily workout in!

homeschool activities ♟️ So Maddie and little Ra homeschool activities ♟️ 

So Maddie and little Ray learned how to play chess and they’re so good at it now. They started taking lessons with the free @duolingo app and it’s been so helping in teaching them! Chess is a game of strategy that helps kids learn to evaluate positions, recognize patterns, and analyze “if-then” scenarios. Now it’s time for me to learn lol. 

Do you and your kids know how to play chess? I highly recommend Duolingo (it’s free) if your kids want to learn a new language or learn how to play chess! #homeschoolactivities #homeschoolmom #homeschoolcurriculum https://liketk.it/6dpfI

My Sunroom Office Update

Have you been buying new home decor, redecorating, and finding new home projects to complete. As a result of the pandemic and quarantine, I have been doing a lot more decorating around the house. This has honestly been the most amount of time I have spent in the house and I’m loving it.

Over the last couple of months, I have been on Pinterest trying to find new home decor ideas. I finally decided on a modern farmhouse style. Modern farmhouse has sleek clean lines of contemporary design with the cozy farmhouse aesthetic. I love the simplicity and natural textures of modern farmhouse style!

Redecorating a whole house takes time so I decided to start with my sunroom office since that’s where I spend most of my time as a full time blogger, influencer, and content creator. I knew I wanted to update my sunroom office with black finishes, rustic grey furniture, and splashes of greenery! I spent a lot of time browsing the internet for the perfect decor. I’m very particular about my home decor and I also love affordable prices. Now, I have finally finished my sunroom office. It’s everything I dreamed of! Here are my tips to redecorate your home.


5 Tips When Redecorating Your Home

  1. Develop a budget
  2. Search on Pinterest for the home decor style you want
  3. Start with one room at a time 
  4. Sell old decor on Facebook marketplace 
  5. Shop at discount stores to save money

I have provided links to all the most asked about decor in my sunroom below

  • Bookcase Shelf (different color options)
  • Glass Desk different color options )
  • Peace Lilly Plants
  • Black Planters
  • Washable Rug (various sizes and print colors)
  • Custom Frames
  • Grey Sheer Curtains
  • Bookshelf Decor “Lets Get Cozy”
  • Bookcase Decor “Grow”

In conclusion, I hope my sunroom office update has inspired you to create a home you love! Also, make sure you utilize this extra time you have at home to practice some self care! Be sure to check out my blog post 10 Morning Routine Habits

XO,

Ashley

      Thank you! The frames are 44”x 22” It’s the biggest size frames on the website. You can also rotate the frame so it’s vertical or horizontal 🙂
