Brace yourselves, Mommas. The end of the school year is upon us. If you are like any other red blooded Momma in the world, your dining room table, refrigerator door, bedside table, junk drawer and — let’s be honest — trashcan are overflowing with your delightful progeny’s latest masterpieces. All year long, Junior has been skipping […]
Something about the warm sun peaking through my windows makes my internal spring cleaning clock begin ticking. I’m ready to freshen up, declutter, and simplify our home! As a clean living advocate, I’m always searching for ways to reduce our exposure to harmful and toxic chemicals. Spring cleaning is a perfect time to make intentional […]
It seems like everyone is in the mood to purge in January. After all, the holidays are often full of extremes. More travel. Not enough sleep. Too much food. Not enough exercise.

I’ve been doing this stay-at-home mom thing going on nine years. Three years ago, when I added the role of homeschool mom to the mix, our house went from a little cluttered to a complete mess. There was stuff everywhere, library fines continued to rack up, and I could never find anything. I was frustrated […]
During my five years of marriage pre-kids, I was a laundry goddess. I had such a precise routine down and hardly ever fell behind. I mean, c’mon, it was laundry for TWO.
