Aside from investing in new pillows I also got the sweetest floral print bedding for Elin and a new linen duvet cover for our bed—love how this warmer ivory makes the whole room feel a bit cozier. There’s something about new sheets that makes the evenings extra special and inviting. Also the pink print I found for Elin has been such a perfect pattern to mix with other pinks we already have.
When I have the time, my most luxurious nighttime routine involves a hot bath—I know there’s some science to it but I sleep like a rock when I roll into bed after a soak. I love adding lavender essential oil or Epsom Bath Salts that seem to help my body relax even more. My acupuncturist gave me the tip to dab a little on the bottoms of my feet (and the girls!) for an extra calming step.
When it comes to the girls sleep routine there are a handful of things I love to use on a regular basis. First and foremost, the best sound machine that we’ve bought a few times and used since Elin was a baby—Dohm sound machine. I love dropping a few drops of lavender essential oil in their bath, a cozy blanket for a bedtime book and occasionally a humidifier if anyone is under the weather. And of course a hard 7 pm bedtime, the earlier the better as my two don’t sleep in much and I find having a routine helps them sleep better at night.
