We are getting so close!! We’ve done a few things that really make this space feel like it’s getting somewhere. Painting takes so long that weeks can go by where you hardly see a change, but we’ve done things like put up the light fixture and paint the interior of the front door yellow!
Read MoreIn an effort to simplify our life more, I’ve been changing my thought process and habits with shopping/consuming. To take it even further, I wanted to challenge myself to a month of no unnecessary purchases and to also see if I could get rid of even more things around the home that we really don’t need. I figured it might be a fun thing to challenge our readers to as well, and maybe we can encourage and motivate each other along the way!
Read MoreI love bringing a little gift for the host of parties besides just the usual wine and/or food. It shows you really appreciate the work the host went through to have your company, and the appreciation of their friendship.
These little gifts are low-waste and a couple are homemade, which makes them even more special!

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.
