Well, hello!

I'm a 30 something crunchy mama, homeschooler (and high school teacher...ironic), and wife who loves baking, music, blogging, essential oils, crystals, and scarves. This space features plant based and organic beauty products, natural living tips, and homeschool reflections.

’Tis the season for the ick, amirite? We believe ’Tis the season for the ick, amirite? We believe in being proactive when it comes to staying well, rather than reactive. That means that we have a very specific wellness routine that we always follow. We take the first steps by making sure we are eating at home, cooking fresh foods, and drinking tons of water—but having some extra tools in your pocket doesn’t hurt either. Elderberry is one of our daily go-to herbs that help to keep us well. When I got the chance to try out the @Sambucol Effervescent Tablets, I jumped at them! Something delicious and fizzy that will not only tickle my tastebuds, but also keep my whole family well? Sign me up! These tablets also have Vitamin C & Zinc: 2 key elements for keeping up a healthy immune system. These are not overly sweet and tasted great in regular water. These tablets have a nice flavor blend of raspberry and elderberry. I’ll keep these in my bag for work so I always have them on hand.

If this doesn’t encompass the essence of FIVE, I If this doesn’t encompass the essence of FIVE, I don’t know what does! Happy 5th birthday to mine and @salvadorzombie’s little bestie!! ❤️
Fam. I literally woke up the other day and it was Fam. I literally woke up the other day and it was legit winter. So the calendar hit November 1st and all of a sudden I have to break out my winter coat & heavy duty skincare? @farmacybeauty has your back—and face, and all the rest of your dry winter bod—covered. ⁣ ⁣ This cream feels super luxurious. And it comes with an adorable little spreader so you don’t miss a spot. This moisturizer contains Buckwheat Honey with Propolis and Royal Jelly Blend all of which are known to have skin healing properties! This formula is for your parabens, silicones, and other nasties and ALL of their packaging is recyclable! Wins all around. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve been using this for two weeks religiously, at the end of May nighttime skin care routine. This is a perfect night moisturizer because it’s super thick and absorbs really quickly. My skin literally tried to drink the stuff up. That added bonus of fig fruit extract and ceramides helped my skin retain all of the moisture that this power potion provided.⁣ ⁣ I’ve always been a big fan of #farmacybeauty and this product does not disappoint. My skin tone overall looks a lot more even and some of those sneaky fine lines look less intense. ⁣ ⁣ This product was provided to me by @stackinfluence and @farmacybeauty. All opinions are my own! #skincare #cleanbeauty #farmacybeauty #farmacy⁣ #ctblogger #ctmom #connecticut #bblogger #crueltyfree #naturalbeauty #cleanbeauty⁣
July and August marked a WHOLE YEAR of #CharlotteM July and August marked a WHOLE YEAR of #CharlotteMason, nature based #homeschooling. We focused on food and farms for the summer months since there were so many opportunities for real life learning. ⁣ ⁣ We completed experiments with greens, worked on our science skills, still focused on building those muscles with tracing and writing, and did a lot of reading.⁣ ⁣ The best part was being able to observe our own garden grow and change throughout the summer months and to have some patience while waiting for our hard work to truly bear forth their harvest. ⁣ ⁣ It was really important to me to be able to document our first official year of homeschooling. I’m really happy you decided to embark on this journey and watching Leo’s passion for learning explode has been such a blessing. ⁣ ⁣ #homeschooling #homeschool #homeschoollife #education #homeschoolmom #montessori #homeeducation #learningthroughplay #montessoriathome #kids #parenting #learning #preschool #learningathome #unschooling #kidsactivities #momlife #homeschoolers #school #homeschoolfamily #teachersofinstagram #earlylearning #kindergarten #homeschooler #preschoolactivities #homeschoolingmom ⁣ ⁣
Happy Halloween!! Adventure is out there!! Happy Halloween!! Adventure is out there!!
OH HAI! Just me posting way out of my comfort zone OH HAI! Just me posting way out of my comfort zone! Why, you ask? Because I got to try out the 100% organic hemp bralettes from @wamaunderwear! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Hemp fabric is naturally anti-bacterial, with anti-odor properties. These bralettes are so comfortable, breathable, and literally gets softer with every wash. Our hemp is also organic, eco-friendly and can help save the planet.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This bra comes in a variety of colors (I chose black and green), and strap styles. I snagged two racerback style bralettes for myself. These wash great, and stood up to my Crossfit sweat sesh without getting all stretched out of shape. They are comfy under a hoodie or tee and I literally never want to go back to underwire again! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Don’t sleep on these bralettes!! 😎😎 They are 🔥🌿! ⁣ ⁣ #hemp #cannaculture #wamaunderwear #bblogger #crunchyfam #plantbased #crunchymama #crunchymom #bralette #crossfit #fitness #strongisthenewsexy #wamahemp #wama
