If I had to guess, I'd bet we all wish we spent a little more time in our bedrooms. Whether relaxing, sleeping, reading, or enjoying our spouses, more time in the bedroom is pretty much always a good thing.

So, it's important to make sure our rooms are as safe and non-toxic as possible. Here are five ways to green your bedroom, including our absolute … [Read more...]

How to completely clear counters at LiveRenewed.com

The kitchen is the heartbeat of the home, but too often our kitchen counters can be messy and cluttered which can lead to us feeling stressed and overwhelmed. A clean kitchen is a happy and productive place to be!  I shared last week about how I had completely cleared off my kitchen counters last summer, and the big difference that it made in my life. And if you follow me on Instagram you probably noticed that I spent most of a recent Friday sharing my process of clearing off my … [Read more...]

5 Ways Clearing Off My Kitchen Counters Changed My Life

How to completely clear off your kitchen counters at LiveRenewed.com

Around this time last year, I completely cleared off my counters. As in, I removed everything from my counters except for soap by the sink and a small aloe plant. It was AMAZING. One night when my hubs and I were taking a walk after dinner, I told him that I thought completely clearing off the counters had changed my life. He chuckled and told me I was being a little dramatic. But I was serious. It really did change a lot of things about my life that were causing me stress and making me … [Read more...]

This is great! Conquering the Laundry Pile: Catch Up and Create a System that Works in Just One Week at LiveRenewed.com

I think we've probably all been there at some point in time - standing at the bottom staring up at Mt. Laundry and wondering how we're ever going to conquer it. When we have so much laundry to do, we feel like we will never get caught up, much less keep on, our family's laundry. Because we all know what happens when we have a lot of laundry to do, while we're working on getting caught up, the piles just keep growing and growing. I recently found myself in this exact place. After finally … [Read more...]

Choosing a Safer Shower Curtain for Your Bathroom

Choosing a Safer, Non-Toxic Shower Curtain at LiveRenewed.com

We've probably all experienced the lovely chemical smell that permeates the air when you take a new shower curtain out of the package and hang it up in your bathroom. Does it ever make you wonder what's actually in the plastic shower curtain to makes it smell that way? Many shower curtains are made out of vinyl or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a plastic that does in fact release harmful chemicals into the air for at least a month and possibly up to a year after you open it and hang it up in your … [Read more...]

Green in the Life: I killed my first houseplant

This is Day 262  of the Green in 365 series! So, I've talked before about how great houseplants are to have in your home to help clean and purify the air. And I also claimed that they were easy to take care of, and relatively hard to kill. Honestly, I'm a pretty lazy houseplant caretaker - all I do is water my plants on a semi-regular basis, and I've managed kept them alive for several years. Well. My track record is broken, because I recently killed my first houseplant. After … [Read more...]

  This is Day 256  of the Green in 365 series! By Renee from Joyful Mom, Contributing Writer I'll be honest - I love flipping through the pages of a Pottery Barn catalogue. I like looking at all the different rooms on the pages and imagining what I might do in those "perfect" spaces. Then one day it dawned on me that it wasn't about the perfect spaces... it was everything in those pictures had a "home". My desire wasn't to have a perfect looking home - my vision is for … [Read more...]
