My story

It started with my daughter.

When she was diagnosed with asthma, I began looking at our home through completely different eyes. The cleaning products under the sink. The synthetic fragrances in every room. The chemicals I’d never thought twice about—suddenly I was thinking about them constantly. Was our home helping her breathe, or making it harder?

I didn’t want to take any chances.

So I started small. I swapped one cleaner at a time. Made my own natural sprays with ingredients I could actually pronounce. Slowly, intentionally, our home became a place that felt safer—lighter, cleaner, and more at peace. I was starting a journey to a non-toxic lifestyle.

And something unexpected happened. Those small choices started to feel like blessings. Less chemicals, less waste, less clutter. More gratitude for simple things. More intention in how we live.

That’s what I share here at Blessings by Me.
