We all want a fresh-smelling home without toxins. But how?!? During the winter months, our homes often began to get a stale smell. And if all the ads are to be believed, now is when you need to run out and grab an air freshener stat! What advertisers DON’T tell you is that their fancy “smell-good” products are filled with fragrances that are anything but safe and natural. The fragrances release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which are linked to various […]
Which Reusable Straw is Best?
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Glass, stainless, bamboo… So many choices, how do you know which reusable straw is best? Perhaps though, we start by looking at WHY you should be considering reusable straws. I’ve written a lot about stewardship here on the blog and I believe firmly in taking care of the blessings God has given us. Good stewardship goes FAR beyond simply managing money well. We are to be good stewards of ALL our blessings. Taking care of our body(health), family, friends, money, […]
Free Summer Chef’s Set with Mrs. Meyer’s and Grove!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Spring and summer are my favorite times of year for cooking — or eating, at the very least! Colorful eggplant, juicy tomatoes, and bright berries from the garden are as delicious as they are nourishing. Everything tastes better fresh from the garden. And simple grilled or no-cook meals leave more time for sipping lemonade on the patio. One thing that I don’t enjoy during the summer (or anytime for that matter), is shopping for household essentials. Who wants to run […]

Nontoxic Pillow and Lounger – Brentwood Home Giveaway!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Disclaimer: Brentwood Home provided me with the nontoxic pillow and lounger found in the Kids Bundle free in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. For us, buying a new mattress or pillows has two HUGE drawbacks. Number one being the cost, and number two being the fact that most mattresses contain toxic glues and adhesives, along with fire retardants and more. Offgassing of these chemicals is a huge concern to me. Our […]

Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Disclaimer: In order to facilitate my thoughts on Thinx, I was sent a free pair of Thinx for review. I must admit, I never thought I would be sharing photos of my underpants. It’s really just not something a lady does. Sometimes though, there are exceptions and today is an exception. Today, I’m sharing my thoughts on Thinx, underwear specifically designed for menstruation. Longtime readers will already know that I avoid tampons like the plague. Because tampons are considered “medical devices” […]

I’m not a fan of cleaning, and the faster I can be done, the happier I am. Recently I discovered how to clean blinds and windows in just minutes! I timed the cleaning of one mini blind and window and the entire thing took less than five minutes, and looked great! So what’s my secret? How am I able to get dust free mini blinds and sparkling clean windows in such a small amount of time? Well, I’m certainly not […]

A simple search on Pinterest will give you a ton of diy tips for chemical free cleaning. But what if you don’t have time to make diy cleaning stuff? If you don’t have time to diy your own cleaning stuff, or if you’ve realized that diy cleaning hacks don’t always work, you’re probably in the same boat as I was. Stuck buying natural cleaning stuff every month or so. Then a friend invited me to a Norwex party. Now I […]

Who likes free stuff? You? Me too! Now you can start the year right with free cleaning supplies! Yes. You heard me right. Free cleaning supplies! I’ve talked about how much I love ePantry before and apparently I’m not alone. Most people who start buying from ePantry continue buying and ePantry knows it. However making the decision to shop a little differently is a challenge for some (it was for me) and ePantry is making it even easier on you. From now until Sunday […]

Toddler Essentials for On-The-Go

“Toddler Essentials for On-The-Go was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” Are you on-the-go with a toddler? Even though I’m now a stay at home mom, it still seems like we are always going somewhere. Unlike my working days where I had a huge bag with 8+ hours worth of supplies for my little one, I’m not very prepared at all anymore. Really, a toddler doesn’t need much, […]
How We Save on Everyday Expenses + $18 offer for you!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
I’ve noticed that the fastest way to spend huge amounts of money on common household items is to run out. If we run out of something, I typically stop at the grocery on the way home and grab it. Two problems with this method: It’s hard to find an environmentally friendly product we like that is also chemical free. If I do find that product it is quite spendy. How We Save on Everyday Expenses: Our expense plan is […]

No Bees No Food and What to do About it
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
This Post “No Bees No Food” is sponsored by Friends of the Earth as part of their #BeBold campaign. All opinions are my own. Bees. Those buzzy little things that fly around plants and flowers. Those fuzzy little insects that carry stingers around on their rears. Are bees only good for stinging? Of course not! That was a silly question and we all know that bees make honey and that they have something to do with making plants grow. But what […]

My work schedule and the weather doesn’t always allow it, but when possible our laundry is line dried. (Not the granny-panties or whitie-tighties but everything else!) Today I want to share how line drying clothes saves money. How Line Drying Clothes Saves Money Your dryer takes a lot of electricity. An ehow article from 2010 states the average family spends 44 cents to $1.32 per load of laundry dried. Considering how the cost of electric has went up in the past […]
