Celebrate the season with this family-friendly roundup of fall favorites! From cozy drinks and creative crafts to fun games, outdoor adventures, and meaningful gratitude activities, this list is packed with simple ways to make autumn special for your whole family.

If you’ve ever wondered what to keep on hand for quick, nourishing meals and snacks, here’s my go-to list of fridge and pantry essentials. These are the staples I reach for daily to fuel my family with real, simple foods—and they make it so much easier to stay on track with healthy eating. I love having these on hand because they’re versatile, family-friendly, and packed with nutrients. Many of these also link to my favorite trusted brands so you can stock your own kitchen with confidence.

Raising kids has to be one of the most challenging and most rewarding jobs on the planet. Studies show that moms make more decisions during the day than a surgeon! No wonder we’re tired all the time! These products help make the day go a little bit smoother for your kids and you! A lot of times, kids are more sensitive to things in the environment because their little bodies are growing so rapidly. Reducing toxins is really important for everyone, especially kids.

Essential oils are some of the most potent, wonderful discoveries I have ever made. Don't be fooled by the size of the bottle. These beauties will go far. Less is more. The first oil I used was Lavender. Straight on the skin for some good ol' support. This is still one of my top picks for oils. It can be used in so many ways and is absolutely fantastic with littles. Love to diffuse this in my girls' rooms at night. The Premium Bundle is the best value because you get 11 oils, a diffuser, cleaner and more.

Calling all moms! Motherhood is hard, and these products make life a teensy bit easier. Sometimes having exactly the right thing to solve a problem or reduce a challenge can really make a big difference.

If you're a busy momma looking to reduce toxins in your home, try making one small change today. What is your next step? Order an essential oils kit, open the essential oil that you already have, look up the ingredients for cleaners, toss your candles??? 🤔 Don’t let the fear of the unknown or fear of change stop you! Small changes over time can lead to big impacts in your life!

There's tired, there's mom tired, and then there's homeschool mom tired. It's a whole ‘nother level! Setting realistic expectations helps. Make sure you're being realistic for yourself and your kids. Also, remember to give yourself grace! Your kids are getting so much more than just reading, writing, and math from staying home.
