As a V.I.P. member with Grove Collaborative** (see my note below about V.I.P.s), you frequently...

In today's video I'm sharing the plans for my postpartum ten-item wardrobe. I'm going to have the baby very soon and wanted to be prepared with a nursing-friendly postpartum wardrobe for after the birth.

In today's video, I'm discussing a very important parenting topic: encouragement! I share the ways that I encourage my children in their everyday tasks. We parents can be so busy and feel so overwhelmed with the work that we do, sometimes it's just easier to do it ourselves. But when we include our children and encourage...

In today's Natural Home with Jennifer, I'm reviewing Method's Ginger Mango concentrated laundry detergent and fabric softener.

After being inspired by the kitchen garden at Anne Hathaway's cottage in England, as well as the grand gardens at Hampton Court Palace, my family decided to plant our own humble vegetable garden chez nous.
