Why We Wash Our Sheets Weekly
How often do you wash your sheets? Come on, get real with me. Is it once a month? Every other week? Once a week? Not at all?!?!? Whatever the frequency you’re currently working with, I am going to encourage you to make it a habit to wash your sheets weekly. Why? According to The Sleep Foundation, you should wash your sheets once a week. “Each and every week, most of us spend approximately 49 to 60+ hours sleeping in our beds. That’s a lot of time to get the rest our bodies need to thrive, but it’s also ample time to build up dirt, sweat, oil, and other gunk on our sheets…

Foods I Make Sure To Eat As A Postpartum Mom
Postpartum is hard. What makes me sad, as a mom, is seeing how this entire experience from conception to postpartum just isn’t celebrated more educated about enough. What we’ve been led to believe by society just isn’t true and it’s especially on point with postpartum care for Mom.

When I first had Nolan, I had no idea about natural ways to fight post partum depression and remember nights/early mornings up with a crying baby wondering how was I ever…

3 Non-Toxic Diaper Brands I Recommend
Knowing what is in the products that you use for your baby is important. I’ve written a non-toxic shampoo and body care guide that you can view by clicking here that explains all of my suggestions. I have yet to share my top non-toxic wipes brands so here we go… This is an important swap to make when reducing the toxic load of your baby. Why?

My “Healthy Gatorade”
Imagine a healthy version of Gatorade. That’s Drink LMNT. But even better. Electrolytes are important. But why? These are essential minerals that your body needs in certain amounts to function its best. Electrolytes help conduct electricity through water in the body. Every time we sweat, also comes out the minerals in our bodies so it’s very important to replenish them. My household loves LMNT electrolytes because it’s easy, simple and salt-tayyyy. My absolute favorite is the watermelon salt. Personally, when I first tried this, I was like 😖 There’s 1000mg of salt in a packet but once you get used to the taste, you’ll actually crave it. I do suggest…
