cornwall beaches + a giveaway with sunuva! {closed}

if you're anything like the mathenys, swimming takes top priority on our daily summer to-do list. harper is always asking to swim—even if rainy london doesn't agree. and if all fails, she'll simply wear her pink floaties around the flat. on our first day in cornwall, before even reaching our b&b, we scouted out the best beach in the city and hit it up. harper was giddy as we put on her suit and set out towards the sand. 

and since we love swimming so much, i am ecstatic about our giveaway today! we have partnered with our friends, sunuva, to offer you the chance to get your hands on £150 worth of vouchers to spend towards any children's swimwear and beachwear in the shop!*

and let me tell you, these clothes are ridiculously cute. i adore the unique designs and brightly-colored prints, all of which are UPF 50+ protected. i mean, look at that little mexicans dress on H! {giveaway details at end of post!}

scout & co giveaway {closed!}

congrats to amy at our little blended family for winning the giveaway!

ever since i discovered scout & co a few weeks ago, i have been swooning over their online boutique. i'm obsessed with everything and have been trying to make a case for needing it all too. lets take these leggings for example… harper needs them as much as i need this blanket for my next born {and no, that is not an announcement.} and if this isn't too stalkerish for ya, they've even made it onto my top visited sites on my home page.

but you know the best part about scout & co? it's just three cool london mamas running shop. with an eye for design, their boutique is carefully edited down to only the best stylish toys, clothes, books, home accessories and decor. and all their clothes are unisex for kids up to 5 years old. which means we've got a few more years to enjoy them!

luckily for you, my friends at scout & co are gifting one lucky reader my favorite item of all—this beau loves spotty sweatshirt! i mean seriously. how darling is this?

to enter to win, please leave a comment below telling me which lucky tot will be sporting this sweatshirt if you win.
