Welcome!

We believe our choices have power, 

from the thoughts we think to the actions we take.

 

Over the past few years, we have decided to take a closer look at our choices regarding what we bring into our home and how we care for those items. From food to furniture, there is a lot to learn about healthy living and stewardship.  We endeavor to take a balanced approach to this, knowing it is about progress, not perfection and that, in order to do better, we first have to invest time into learning. Follow along with us as we delve into the topics of healthy living, waste reduction, homesteading, and more!
