“When you start to feel like things should have been better this year, remember the mountains and valleys that got you here. They are not accidents and those moments weren’t in vain. You are not the same. You have grown and you are growing. You are breathing, you are living. You are wrapped in endless, boundless grace. And things will get better. There is more to you than yesterday.” — Morgan Harper Nichols 

Cheers to a new year! I bet many of us were happy to say goodbye to 2020. It was a challenging, unexpected year, with many ups and downs. As this year begins, I am adjusting to new motherhood and taking things one day at a time. This includes my household chores and how I approach cleaning. While I’ve always aimed to use natural products in my home, having an infant in the house makes using high-quality, safe ingredients that much more important. To help you jump-start the year and prepare for spring cleaning in just a couple months, here are my top five essential oils for cleaning and how they combat messes.
