I am super excited to share that today's blog post is sponsored by Grove Collaborative! I have been wanting to work with Grove for quite some time now. They carry so many of the brands that I already use and love for our home and self care. If you've been reading my blog or following me on social media for any length of time I would hope you have gathered that choosing healthy, more sustainable options is a priority for me. Since first becoming a dog mama over a decade ago, I have looked for chemical-free, pet safe products to use in our home. And when preparing for Mason's arrival I definitely took it up a notch to include not just cleaning products but also laundry products, double checking my skincare, haircare, and beauty products.

Amazon Cable Knit Cardigan
When I think of Fall/Winter I think of being cozy at home. And when you have to go outside layering with an Amazon cable knit cardigan is a great way to feel all warm and cozy. I've got a few Amazon cable knit cardigans that I love. This one I ended up getting in two colors because it's the perfect length. It was an Amazon Fashion find and very reasonably priced. The shipping did take a long time but I know so much has been delayed due to COVID. I definitely plan on wearing it a lot this winter especially paired with leggings at home. ... Read more...

Happy first Monday of the New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I took a nice long and much needed break from the blog and social media.
