Simple Swaps

In these blog posts, we share easy-to-use replacements for everyday products or do-able habits to build that will have a big impact long-term. Rest assured that every swap, solution, or habit we suggest gets the Barlows in the Bluegrass seal of approval! Additionally, each will satisfy most, if not all, of our healthy living and stewardship values:

• Is the swap/solution safe and non-toxic?
• Does it help to shorten the supply chain/take out the middle man?
• Does it yield minimal waste?
• Does it increase the longevity/lifespan of _____?
• Is it simple and practical to use/implement?

Certainly, we know there is always more to learn, so we will do our best to update what we share as we go along.

If you have any questions or suggestions to share with us, check out our contact page. We would love to hear from you!
