When my mom got out of prison she lived with me. Around the same time my son turned 19, and was moving out, so was my mom. So like 99% of my household goods I split up and gave to them to start their new places with. So I had to start over.

A clean and healthy home! Finding the best clean products, drinks, decor and more. Forever chemicals can cause so much harm for your family and your body. Finding better options especially for moms is so important for your child’s health. Think, when our parents used many generic products there may have been harsh ingredients but now these company’s have added way more to their products and now it’s around us and our children. My goal is to avoid these harmful chemicals, no I am not 100% perfect, but finding better options and slowly switching out the bad products can change your babies future.

I am a sucker for realistic faux greenery and classic traditional color schemes. One can never go wrong with burgundy, khaki, brass, gold, and green for the holidays. You also won't see me passing up an opportunity to include anything snowflakes. As a perpetuator of using only “warm-white” lighting, candlesticks, and colorful LEDs while NEVER utilizing the overhead lights from November 1st to February 28th, I have tried and tested many different versions. The ones I've found will never disappoint. Just make sure to keep extra batteries on hand for when your lights start to lose their POW. I have to switch them out at least twice per winter season. These are some of my favorite finds from Amazon and Target, which means they are budget-friendly and fast to ship.
I'm a plant girlie through and through!!!! I love the aesthetic, I love feeling the success of seeing my little guys grow, I love figuring new ways to decorate around my home with them and I HATE WATCHING THEM PERISH. I'm lucky enough that they usually fall into my lap and then I spend all my money on pots, soil and aesthetic. And if you're like me you trim them to keep them healthy but the idea of throwing out any little offshoots (I'm looking at you spider plants) breaks your heart.
