I’m so excited about this new series that I have had on my mind for a while! We will be doing posts with Q+As about really anything—from home design/renovation to personal qs! This one starts out with a few Q+As about house renovations. I’ll start asking all of you what questions you want answered and maybe they will be featured in future posts! You can always reach out and ask us anything, anyway :)
Read MoreAlthough we put together our closet a while ago, I never thought much about sharing it as it’s not something I thought was worthy of being shared. But the more I realized the functionality and simplicity of what we did in here, I thought some of our readers might enjoy hearing about what we did. There was no renovation work and we don’t have any fancy built-ins in here, but the small, easy to do changes we made in here really transformed our closet into a space we enjoy going into!
Read MoreWe 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 MoreEarth 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!
