I decided to finally write a post that I have been wanting to write about the toxic things in our homes. Two women who I met at different occasions and started talking to influenced this post and me! I have learned a lot from them. One is a scientist and one is a breast cancer survivor. I asked them what the most toxic things are in our homes were and what the number one thing was they would change! I shared it all in this blog post. I want to first say that I am in no-way perfect in any of these. But I am trying and making myself informed. I am not judging anyone who has any of these ... Read More
Winter Master Bedroom and Christmas Kids Room
Today we are going to look into two bedrooms in our little cape! Our master bedroom- turned into a Winter Master Bedroom. And Finn's bedroom all decked out for a fun Kids Christmas Bedroom!

If you have followed me for any time at all then you would know how much I love #hygge. It is so much more important to me to focus on the feeling in your home more than anything else. And if your home is organized then you will love that hygge feeling. If you aren't sure what hygge is (pronounced hue-guh not hoo-gah). It is a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment, whether alone or with friends, at home or out, ordinary or extraordinary as cozy, charming or special. We went and saw Frozen on Broadway- SO good! All of us loved it. But there is a song they added called ... Read More
