Earth Day is right around the corner! This year I decided to start collecting/borrowing books about helping the earth ahead of time so I can really start the conversation and understanding with Anchor. These are 6 of the books we’ve really enjoyed and have a good message. They do vary in age range a bit.
Read on for a small description of each book!
Read MoreDoes anyone else get as excited about spring cleaning as I do?! Maybe it’s more of the result than the actual process that’s most enjoyable haha but we have to get there somehow! Today I’m sharing 5 steps to spring cleaning that will hopefully ease any stress you have about it as it gives the process some structure.
Read MoreIn keeping with the cleaning theme this month, I’m sharing some low-waste ways to keep the home smelling fresh and good! There’s something so nice about walking into your home and being greeted by your favorite scents.
Read MoreAt some point I realized I was kind of going in inefficient circles with cleaning tasks around the home. The kitchen was getting a thorough cleaning twice a week while the dining room went two weeks without being touched. I would take out the vacuum and hit the whole downstairs but clean nothing else that day. I’d wash towels three times a week but our clothing would pile up in the laundry basket. I realized this was not a good was to keep a home clean nor the best use of my time, so I decided to create a weekly cleaning rhythm and see if that would help…and I’m never turning back!
Read MoreI’ve been wanting to share the homemade cleaners I make and use for a while now, and finally got around to it! I’m including it in our “waste less” series because it really prevents a lot of packaging waste. Most of these cleaners use the same ingredients, so I buy a large size of say, white vinegar and it lasts for several months to make a couple of the cleaners.
Read MoreWe haven’t done one of these in a while! Here are some updates and random things going on with us!
Read MoreAs you may know, we’ve been working on renovating our entryway! (You can see our post about our new floors here if you missed it.) Here’s a little design board I put together, as I always do for projects!
Read MoreI know spring cleaning still seems far off, but for someone who LOVES a fresh, clean home, I’m already thinking and planning for it! These two books completely changed the way I organize and clean. They made me actually ENJOY the process of cleaning and I truly love a clean home. Showing respect to our home by keeping it organized and clean is one of the best ways to get the most enjoyment from it.
Read MoreToday’s waste less post is all about the tare weight jars! I LOVE these things for several reasons. 1. You can bring these directly to a food store that offers self-serve bulk food. Since the weight is printed on the jar there’s no pre-weighing. Fill ‘em up and bring them home to store in your pantry! 2. They make it SO easy to see what you have and what you need more of ahead of time. So not only are you wasting less in terms of packaging, but it also helps with food waste. No more bags/boxes of food pushed to the back and forgotten about until it’s too late and expired! 3. They keep your pantry looking neat and orderly!
