The soon-to-be mom of two also expresses her excitement to be able to raise her son in a “somewhat ‘normal’ way” as Poppy was only “six months when the pandemic hit.”

“It’s this out of Africa vibe, where there’s a lot of wicker and cute little African animals,” she explains. “It’s very safari, but not extremely themed, but it’s just really, really fun and clean and easy and bright, lots of trees. We’ve got this beautiful big bay leaf tree with lots of light.”
“I am a firm believer in letting [the kids] make the room their own,” she adds. “So what we did with Poppy, which I know we’ll do with the second one is, all the artwork that they bring in, both of their rooms have these giant closet doors that are just plain white, but we end up sticking all their artwork up on there.”
“So it adds color and life to the room,” Ewell says. “And it lets them really, truly feel like this is their space to create. Poppy loved it. So I have a feeling that this next little one will too.”
