Grove Co Makes My Life Easier – Here’s Why You Should Try It
When switching to cleaner products, it can be confusing all around. There are so many brands to choose from and it cannot only be overwhelming but wasteful financially trying them all. Several years ago, I was introduced to a online store front that has made my home non-toxic swaps so much easier, and now I am sharing it with you. (Please read this about indoor air pollution and see why making a swap to safer home products was something I did early on and very beneficial for your health.) In the realm of home products I don’t feel like the things we use in our homes are a one size…

My Favorite Salad Dressing: Lemon Citrus Vinaigrette
If you followed along with my pregnancy, you are well aware of my fascination with all things Lemon. I just can’t get enough. Well, the baby I’m growing and I, just can’t get enough! It’s been really interesting to take note of the many different cravings that I’ve had with each of my six pregnancies. I did have extreme morning sickness at the beginning but thankfully, it went away and now I am able to enjoy all the things. Lemon juice has been a craving in all the ways. I love anything lemon flavored, in my water and with my meals. In fact, I started eating lots of fresh veggies…

Pregnancy + Nursing Friendly Anti-Aging Skincare
Is there such thing as safe, anti-aging skincare during pregnancy and nursing? Short answer is “YES!”🎉💕 I over exposed my skin to the sun for decades. My skincare priority at this point in my life is reducing fine lines and wrinkles on my face, neck, chest and backs of my hands. I never realized how toxic our personal care products really were until I started looking into the ingredients when I was pregnant with my first child. This was my “ah-ha” moment and why I strive to use safer products for myself and my family. Y’all… the amount of research that can go into finding a good skincare regime makes…

Crunchy Mom Baby Registry
When you’re pregnant, it’s a bit overwhelming to make a baby registry, especially with all the ever-changing options out there. I’ve had five babies and now that I’m pregnant with our sixth, I knew exactly what I wanted for this sweet little soul in my belly. This is going to be short and sweet because baby registries should all be both of those. I’ve learned that with babies come lots of “things” and less is more. You really do not need all the things you think you do. They just take up lots of space, remain unused and you could have spent that money on things you’ll actually use like diapers. All…
