    10 Small Ways to Make Your Home Feel New for the New Year.

    My home feels oddly empty after taking the tree down and putting all the decorations away.

    While I’m enjoying the newfound space, I’m also itching to freshen up my decor.

    Fortunately, making your home feel new for the new year doesn’t need to involve spending a ton of money or tackling a huge renovation.

    One simple way to rediscover pride in your home is with this beautiful set of Grove cleaning concentrates + glass spray bottle + microfiber + cleaning caddy, which is free with your first order of $20 from Grove Collaborative .

    Grab your free set, then check out my small but mighty tips for making your home feel new again:

    1. You can change the look of your whole room just by swapping out your throw pillows. I love buying pillow covers because it’s an inexpensive way to refresh a bed or couch without having to store bulky pillows.
    2. Rearrange your furniture. It’s a totally free way to see your home with fresh eyes!
    3. Fresh flowers breathe life into a dreary winter room. Try a hibiscus for a touch of the tropics, or a few branches of fragrant eucalyptus in the bathroom.
    4. There’s nothing like unearthing a hidden gem at the flea market. My heart still swells with pride when a friend compliments me on the cool entryway bench I discovered last year!
    5. Start making space for the products that make you happy and help you stay healthy. For example, I’ve been slowly using up rags and old bottles of cleaner and replacing them with beautiful alternatives like this free Grove microfiber and Grove glass spray bottle. Little details like the colorful silicone sleeve always bring a smile to my face.
    6. Grove makes creating a healthy, beautiful home effortless and affordable. They deliver my favorite natural products from brands like Seventh Generation, Mrs. Meyer’s, and Burt’s Bees to my doorstep, on my schedule.
    7. It’s amazing how much more in control I feel when I’m organized. For example, this beautiful cleaning caddy helps me neatly store my most-used cleaning supplies so I don’t have to run back and forth
    8. I love the peace of mind that comes from using safe, toxin-free products around the people I love. These Grove cleaning concentrates are a perfect example of a product that’s ultra-effective without harsh chemicals.
    9. Declutter one thing every day. By the end of the year, you’ll have gotten rid of 365 things and you’ll have more space for living.
    10. It’s easy to get caught up in comparisons like Her kitchen is always immaculate or I wish my living room looked like that — especially if you spend any time on social media. Be gentle with yourself and remember that you’re comparing your behind-the-scenes with someone else’s highlight reel.
    11. Bonus tip: Once you’ve submitted your Grove order, you’ll be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial. For 60 days, save even more with free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales and personal service. My free VIP gifts have allowed me to test-drive some products that I probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise — and they’ve become staples in my home!

    New customers receive:

    • Grove cleaning concentrates (3 pack)
    • Grove glass spray bottle
    • Grove microfiber (2 pack)
    • Grove cleaning caddy

    Existing customers receive:

    • Grove walnut scrubber sponges

    How to Create Calm Amidst The Holiday Chaos.

    We’re in that magical and slightly maddening stretch of the year where the calendar is overflowing with holiday parties, celebratory dinners, and family get-togethers.

    For the most part it’s fun, but sometimes all the activity can leave me feeling frazzled. 

    In those moments, it’s especially important to me that our home feels like a retreat from all the busyness.

    Scent is one of my favorite ways to create a calm, restorative atmosphere, so I’m thrilled that Mrs. Meyer’s is bringing back my favorite seasonal scents: peppermint, orange clove, and Iowa pine. 

    I find the peppermint especially soothing during those times where I’m fighting off a holiday-induced tension headache. One sniff is like snuggling up with a warm peppermint mocha! Cheerful orange clove is a great stress reliever, and crisp Iowa pine instantly puts me in the holiday spirit.

    Now you can experience the magic of Mrs. Meyer’s for free with this Holiday Set from my friends at Grove Collaborative.

    When you place your first order of $20 using my link, you’ll get:

    • Free Holiday Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap
    • Free Holiday Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap
    • Free Holiday Mrs. Meyer’s multi-surface spray
    • Free Grove Collaborative seasonal kitchen towel
    • Free Shipping & 60 Day VIP Trial

    Existing customers will get a free set of Grove walnut scrubber sponges. They make tackling holiday pots and pans so much easier! 

    Remember that old saying, “Stop and smell the roses”? When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I try to practice mindfulness during everyday tasks like doing dishes or washing my hands. Mrs. Meyer’s rich, creamy hand and dish soaps make it easy to stay present in the moment, and I love that they’re a healthy addition to my home.

    This Grove kitchen towel feels like such a treat to use, too. It’s perfect for streamlining a busy kitchen, since you can use it to dry dishes, drape it over bread dough while it’s rising, and even grab hot cookie sheets out of the oven. It also works like a charm with Mrs. Meyer’s multi-surface spray for whisking away messes on the stove or counter.

    Another way that I bring order to my home this time of year is by using Grove Collaborative. Grove ships my favorite natural household products like laundry detergent, paper towels, and toothpaste to my doorstep on my schedule. No more rushing around stores and fighting crowds! It really helps me feel organized and on top of things which is essential during the holidays.

    Once you submit your first Grove order using my link, you’ll also be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial. For 60 days, you’ll save even more with free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales and personal service — perfect if you’re trying to stretch your holiday budget! 

    I should warn you that last year, Mrs. Meyer’s seasonal scents sold out quickly. This offer is only available through November 19th or until the sets are gone, so don’t miss out! Here’s how it works:

    1. Sign up for Grove Collaborative here. You will receive the Holiday Set for free when you sign up!
    2. To receive this offer, your order needs to be a minimum of $20. Choose the combination of products and scents you love and receive your first box within a few days.
    3. You made it! Click Finish & Pay and place your order.

    We had been to Cherry Hill Resort during the summer and were very excited to add this to our fall outings. Scary Hill is a family-friendly fun event. We arrived at 11 am on Saturday and walked around looking at the decorations. When you arrive you can get your tickets at the miniature golf area or the office on the hill. Since it rained most of Saturday we were only able to do a couple activities. Our family enjoyed playing miniature golf.

    We enjoyed the fun Halloween decorations and funny headstones at each par.

     

    We then went to the maze area that located behind the office, where we played Battlestar Blasters. The maze, bumper boats, hamster haven, rock wall, and bounce houses are in the same area.

    We spent a couple hours there and can’t wait to go back again.

    Green Cleaning Tips from Grove Collaborative

    *This post contains sponsored links from Grove Co. All opinions are my own.

     

    Here’s a common myth I hear a lot: Making the switch to green cleaning products is too expensive.

    I can say from experience that creating a green cleaning kit can be easy and affordable. You don’t need a cabinet stuffed with products — in fact, I now use fewer (and better!) products.

    You can get a jumpstart on your green cleaning routine by grabbing this free set of cleaning concentrates + glass spray bottle + microfibers with your first purchase of $20 from my friends at Grove Collaborative. Then come back here for my green cleaning tips:

    • I feel good about using reusable glass bottles for my favorite products and DIY recipes, knowing I’m not adding more plastic bottles to landfills. Plus, this colorful Grove spray bottle adds a dose of style to your cleaning routine! I love that they added a silicone sleeve to keep it from slipping out of your hand.
    • Concentrated products create less shipping weight and less waste. Each 1 oz. Grove concentrate creates 16 oz. of product — just dispense it into your spray bottle, add water and start cleaning.
    • I switched from paper towels to microfiber cloths for cleaning a few months ago, and I’ve never looked back. You can throw them in the washing machine when you’re done, and they’ll last for years!
    • The all-purpose cleaner can replace a shelf full of products. Grove all-purpose concentrate works on countertops, appliances, sinks, backsplashes and more.
    • Did you know glass cleaner can do more than windows? Use your Grove glass cleaner concentrate to get the grime off windowsills, clean dusty light fixtures, and shine up your wedding ring.
    • Choose a bathroom cleaner that does double-duty. I keep a bottle of Grove tub & tile concentrate under my sink, and it’s the only product I need to clean the whole bathroom.
    • Curate your cleaning kit by choosing gorgeous products in complementary scents. These Grove concentrates come in a heavenly orange & rosemary scent that works in any room.
    • I’ve found that purchasing products from Grove Collaborative not only saves me time, it’s also more affordable than picking up products at the grocery store. Grove hand-selects the best natural products and delivers them (carbon offset) right to my doorstep, on my schedule.

    New customers get the concentrates set and existing customers get the walnut scrubber sponges.

    Bonus tip: Once you’ve submitted your Grove order, you’ll be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial. For 60 days, you’ll save even more with free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales and personal service.
