Why Our Children Do Chores + A Chore Template For Any Age
I am often asked how a household my size flows and LOTS of questions about how it stays somewhat neat. Honestly, some days are easier than others but I’ve learned that for our family our life works best when we all work together. From a very small age, Derrek and I have included the kids in on everything we do to keep our home in working order. We found that the more the children feel empowered, the easier it is to have them doing “their part” on their level. This most certainly means, throwing perfection out of the window because let’s just face it… it’s not going to be perfect.…

A safer kitchen starts with shopping local!
I spend A LOT of time in the kitchen y’all. Probably 20ish hours a day… jk but that’s what it feels like. I am sure that you can only imagine what all I am asked to make, open or get for my fam on a daily basis. My people are the people that LOVE good foods and snacking so there is no telling how much traffic goes in and out of the kitchen on the reg. Having a non toxic kitchen was a big goal of mine when I started switching to safer and it is something that I am still striving for. Since I transitioned to a non toxic lifestyle,…

Our Favorite Nontoxic Toys: Perfect for Birthday and Christmas
This post is in partner with Lovevery! All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. With five kids, I’ve seen my fair share of kid’s toys. They seem to just over populate the house overnight and end up in piles all around and never played with. I end up throwing away or giving away most toys that are from big chain toy stores because they are just junk. When my children play with toys, I want the intention behind them to help develop their sensory, motor and cognitive skills. I’ve honestly, stopped buying a lot of “mainstream” toys because they are NOT helping…

Ditch and Switch your Candles + Wall Plug Ins for Oils this Fall!
I am not a DoTerra distributor. I do NOT sell essential oils, I just use them daily in my life. I do not get paid to share about oils. Please ask your friends who are distributors for help with your order. Hey ya’ll! I am so excited to share another switch to safer that I’ve made in my household and I hope will inspire you to make in yours. When I was pregnant with my first child, Nolan, I kept getting debilitating headaches. I knew nothing about essential oils but when I reached out to a few crunchy mamas, they told me to inhale Peppermint oil and it would help.…
