There comes a time in every home when a little disinfecting is in order on top of the normal day-to-day cleaning routine. Some exposure to germs is good for us, helps build our immune systems, and keeps us healthier in the long run. However, there are times when we need to take a more aggressive tend toward cleanliness than the regular …
Kids and nice stuff don’t mix. I mean, like not at all. When I was expecting my first child, we were gifted an amazing highchair that is made of beautiful solid wood and pulls right up to the table. I loved it because it meant our little ones could eat with us at the table instead of being stuck all …
Did you know that DIY Aromatherapy Candles are easy to make and are an inexpensive gift? I love candles! They really change the mood. The flicker of light and scent wafting through the air can be really calming. Making your own candles can be inexpensive, easy, and you can feel good about what is going in them. They won’t be …
When I moved into my first apartment I was abnormally excited about grocery shopping for myself. It seemed so…adult.

Of course, spring would come and I’d deal with seasonal allergies, but that all had to do with the great outdoors so I didn’t think about inside my home. Then I had baby number two and things started changing. He was my eczema baby. It’s amazing …
Do you do an annual spring cleaning? I don’t think many people do anymore! Why is that? Is it because we have such busy lives? Is it because the task of spring cleaning seems so intimidating? I find that it’s usually a little bit of both. Spring cleaning is usually such a big task that I’ll think about it and then …
I love a home that smells amazing. I love to walk in, or through, the house and be either invigorated, energized, calmed or soothed by a wonderful scent. Before I started living a life from scratch I used to accomplish that with regular old not-good-for-you candles that came with a side helping of toxic chemicals. But now I know better, …
Peppermint…that fragrant, almost extremely invasive plant in the herb garden is a miraculous botanical.

The multitude of uses for mint includes everything from …
Whether we are ready or not, many places are now entering fall. We might as well embrace it, because it’s time.
