We’re on a family retreat at a remote place in Maui 🌈🌺🌴⁣
⁣
We are enjoying the most epic sunrise and sunsets, chasing waterfalls & rainbows, stargazing and reconnecting with Mother Nature and each other, remembering the essence of who we are. ⁣
⁣
Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for each and every one of you. ❤️⁣

It’s officially my favorite time of the year - matching Christmas pajama season! We turn on the fireplace, fill the rooms with Christmas music and cozy up together while watching our favorite holiday movies together. #KohlsPartner

Today I’ve partnered with @winixamerica to give away an air purifier for your home! #WINIXPartner ⁣
⁣
We have a busy household with 4 kids and 3 pets and I get bad allergies around pollen and dust, so having a high quality air purifier is a must. @winixamerica has an impressive line of air purifiers for various needs, and my favorite is the HR900 which is great for larger spaces and households with kids and pets.  ⁣
⁣
It eliminates 99.99% of pollen, dust, smoke, pet dander and absorbs common pet odor. I also like that it has a LED air quality indicator that lets me know the air quality in real time. Truly, the perfect gift going into the colder season. ⁣
One lucky winner will receive one WINIX air purifier! To enter⁣

Winners will be announced on November 30th 💖I hope one of you gets to try this amazing air purifier for your own home. Good luck! ⁣

3 ways to reduce waste and recycle with @calrecycle ♻️ #ad
California has a waste problem! The amount of material landfills in CA continues to grow largely in part by use of single-use disposable take-out containers, plastic grocery bags and increase in online shopping.
The good news is that we can make simple changes that fight climate change and save money, energy and preserve our natural resources. Everyone in the household can participate, including our kids! Learn more on iRecycleSmart.com or link in bio.

Christmas came early this year and we love it here. Save for inspo!✨⁣
⁣
Stockings and stocking holder from @Target⁣. The rest are vintage or repurposed year after year. Linking both in the highlights.
