Twillys are a fun way to customize and dress up your bags. So I wanted to share 8 ways to tie an Hermes Twilly on your bag handles to give you some inspiration. It's up to you if you want to tie a twilly on one or both handles of your bags. In my personal opinion, I think you either wrap a twilly around each handle or none at all. Having a twilly on your bag handles will protect the leather. Therefore, you will get inconsistent wear on your handles if they're not on both. But if you're just looking to get one twilly to decorate your bag with many of these ways to tie an Hermes twilly work great as any accessory to your bag. If you're not concerned about wear on your bag handles, I highly recommend giving these a try! And the beauty about these is you can always switch them up! They're super easy to do, and don't take much time, so on ... Read more...
6 Tips on How to Brighten a Dark Room
When we bought our little beach cottage 6 years ago it felt tiny and dark. The choice of wall colors definitely did not help but the ceilings are low and the room sizes are small. So we quickly went to work painting all of the rooms to make them feel brighter and more open. Since then we have made a number of home improvements that have helped make our home feel more like us. Some of those updates, including our reclaimed wood wall made a major visual impact but also left that side of our living room feeling dark. After some time we ... Read more...
Ocean Kayaking in Oahu
Ocean Kayaking was one activity I was really looking forward to doing this trip. Last time we were in Oahu, Mason was just about to be turning 3. He was much smaller and when I researched kayaking most places wouldn't allow us to take him Kayaking. He's since had a few major growth spurts and is a year older and thankfully Twogood Kayaks was ok with him sitting in the middle of a tandem kayak. I had hoped to rent a crystal kayak which is entirely clear but when we got to Twogood Kayaks they let me know that the crystal clear kayaks ... Read more...
COVID Travel: What you Need to Know Before Traveling to Hawaii
As soon as we heard Hawaii was opening back up again to tourism we decided to book a last minute trip to Oahu. We visited last August and had a total blast. If you missed those posts or are somewhat new here you can check out some of the things we did here, here, here, and here. I also wrote a hotel review for where we stayed. Justin and I feel it's a great location for a family vacation. We knew this trip wouldn't be the same but we were still looking forward to getting away as a family. Because we just went through the process of ... Read more...
Best Family Christmas Pajamas 2020
If you've been reading my blog for the past few years than you probably are already aware of my love for family Christmas pajamas. I absolutely love this holiday family tradition. Justin and I started doing this after Mason turned one. Our first Christmas as a family of 3 (5 if you include the pups) Mason was only a few months old and was still in preemie clothes so not quite ready to fit into the holiday jammies. But ever since that first year, we've not gone back. There are so many adorable matching family jammies for the holidays. ... Read more...
Favorite Christmas Home Decor and Interior Inspiration
I know we're not even into November yet but this year we're already getting a head start on the holidays. Mason has been alerting us and Santa on what he wants for Christmas this year. I think this is the first year that I've noticed Amazon, Walmart, and Target have sent out holiday gift catalogs. Mason has been flipping through the pages telling us about everything he sees that he likes. It's the first mail he looks out for now. I've been planning (in my head) how I'm going to decorate our home this year for Christmas. Every year ... Read more...
