Traveling with the kids made easy with Floor Bloom!

As a mom I love to see my boys happy and in their comfort zone so I have always had anxiety over traveling with the kids even if it was to a family members house for a weekend. I have a routine in place at home and when we step out of it I do not want the kids to feel out of place. I have been blessed to find a seriously genius product for the boys!



Floor Bloom floor pillows, these amazingly soft super lightweight pillows are perfect for the boys to lounge together and read a book or play Stack O Rings one of their favorite toys right now. I remember as a child always bringing a pillow in the car if we were going on a day trip or weekend away, so I offered Matthew the leaf pillow on a car ride to Grandmas house and he LOVED it ! I bring the floor pillows with us for the kids to have a space to sit and relax, it has relived a lot of anxiety about weather or not they will be comfortable. 




I feel like the pillows are the perfect size, big enough to be comfy cozy and not too bulky where someone wouldn't want them in the living room off to a corner. 



We will be traveling this summer and I can not wait to bring Floor Bloom along!

Our Farmhouse Rehab Update

We are beyond excited to share this wonderful experience with you! This journey has just begun and we are currently in the raw part of our rehab, I say this after DEMO day it was crazy messy but so worth it! I will be sharing photos, information and learning experiences along the way! This rehab will be 100% DYI  and should be very interesting, be sure to follow along on Instagram (@themagnoliamom) for day to day Insta Stories.

The Property:  We picked up this property in foreclosure and it was in rough shape to say the least, the home is a solid concrete block home and will be completely rehabilitated inside down to the studs and outside to add character, we plan on painting, adding shutters adding a porch and changing out the front door. The property is out in the country and has Big, Beautiful Oak trees for shade and best of all tons of room for the boys run around and burn off energy!

Progress:







Even though we knew the house was a disaster zone we fell in love with the property itself  it is A1 zoned for horses and grazing animals (Matthew has already requested a goat) we plan on adding chickens and miniature goats Pygmy or similar to the back side of the property.
