One of my favorite stops in San Diego was visiting @cityfarmersnsy 🌱
They do an amazing job showing people how to grow food right in the middle of the city and why compost is the foundation of every successful garden. Before you start planting anything, start with your soil. Good compost helps create healthy, nutrient-rich soil, which means stronger plants, better harvests, and less waste.
Whether you have a farm, a backyard, a patio, a balcony, or even just a windowsill, growing some of your own food is more possible than most people think. 🌿

Craft time without the microplastics 🌎
We’ve been using @naturalearthpaint biodegradable glitter since Bella was 2 years old, and it’s one of our favorite low-waste swaps for creative play. It’s biodegradable, kid-friendly, and a better alternative to traditional glitter made with microplastics and harsher ingredients.
Perfect for painting, sensory bins, holiday crafts, and all the sparkly moments without the extra toxins. If you’ve been looking for a more eco-friendly glitter for your little ones, this is one we truly love and use ourselves. Use our link to shop 💚 ...

One of my favorite things about this time of year is realizing that what most people call “weeds” are actually little gifts from nature. 🌼
Today I made a batch of dandelion-infused vinegar using flowers picked right from the park and homemade apple scrap vinegar, and honestly, it felt like the most wholesome spring activity imaginable. There’s something really satisfying about turning simple ingredients growing around you into something useful instead of just mowing over them.
I love using infused vinegars for homemade cleaners, hair rinses, salad dressings, and little herbal experiments in the kitchen. Plus, the jars always look so pretty sitting on the counter while they infuse.
It also feels like such a reminder that abundance is everywhere if we slow down enough to notice it.
Now let’s see if I can stop myself from trying to forage every single thing growing outdoors this summer. 😂
If you’ve ever made herbal vinegars before, I’d love to know your favorite combinations!
