I love walking into my home. It feels comfortable and like a reflection of our family. It isn't always organized; in fact, table tops are often chaotically scattered with crafts and tiny worlds created by my children inhabit every corner. But the decor and items in our home are fully intentional. The wonky lay out of our 1970s home is pulled together with a colorful ruggable. Family photos are displaced in quirky frames. And over the years I have worked to replace basic household items with beautifully crafted alternatives to bring character into our home.

I’ve spent over a decade detoxing my home of harsh chemicals and plastics… and the process is still on going. It’s truly a lengthy process, but worth it!

Every bit helps: big change comes from countless small actions. My best advice: make your goals obtainable for your lifestyle and budget. Replace one thing at a time. Next time you need to restock your glass cleaner or floss, look into a more sustainable option. Allow this list to take the guess work out of it.

For the kids with the “do it myself” attitudes. Fiercely seeking independence, but still in need of our arms to gently fall back into. I have two of them.
