We all know that back to school means exposure to lots of germs and, inevitably, sick kids! It helps so much in the summer soaking up all that extra vitamin D so when the kids are back in school all day, it’s important to boost their immune systems so they can fight off all the germs.

Trying to avoid weeds in our yard feels like a full time job. We have a half acre lot, so it’s definitely no small task. Spraying chemicals is out of the question because not only do we have 3 kids and always walk barefoot on our lawn, but we have a lab mix who, I swear, will never grow up and eats pretty much anything including mulch and grass.

One easy and inexpensive way to ditch chemicals in your home is by making your own DIY foaming hand soap. I often will use unscented Dove bars to wash my hands on a soap dish, but making your own foaming hand soap is extremely easy and takes only a few minutes.

It’s especially important to me that my baby items are non-toxic and chemical free. I definitely exhausted my research in this area and have found some awesome items I’ve used for all 3 babies over the last 8 years.

When creating healthier spaces in our home, one area that I focus on in particular is the bedroom. When you think about how much time is spent in a bedroom, you can see why it is such an important place to eliminate chemicals and toxins. Here are a few ways I make my bedroom (and my kids’ bedrooms) healthier and less toxic.

Pregnancy is a magical time for so many women or it can be an absolutely awful experience (hello, morning sickness!) but either way it's a very important time to take care of your health and well being.

The whole idea of a castor oil pack is to essentially detox your liver, ovaries, etc. Many women have reported benefits ranging from relief from ovarian cysts, which I personally have experienced, to fertility benefits.

Starting on a journey to rid yourself and your family of toxins can be overwhelming to say the least. They say ignorance is bliss and once you learn about some of these toxins there’s no going back.

Epsom salt is pretty much a staple in our household. It’s a simple way to boost your magnesium and has so many other great applications!

I plan to revive this blog and use it as my outlet to share info that I learned through the years while cleaning up my own lifestyle and also becoming a Mom of 3 kiddos and the things I do to keep my family healthy.
