A Guide to Non-Toxic Laundry Stripping
A Guide to Non-Toxic Laundry Stripping With six active children at home, laundry stripping helps prevent me from tossing out smelly clothes and gives our wardrobe a second chance.

Hi Everyone! my name is Michaela Thompson, and this is the home page for my blog. I am so excited that you’ve found me. as a wife and homeschooling mom of 6 wild and free kids; including one who has fought Leukemia for 4 years, I am always busy. I am home full-time with them, baking, cleaning, and teaching. It’s always been my dream to be home with my kids, but I also wanted more. I wanted something that was just for me. And that’s why I started this blog.
My goal for this page is to post family updates, non-toxic swaps, my favorite recipes, and helpful tips for other moms who love what they do, but like me, want an identity outside of motherhood. It’s easy to get caught up in our priorities as moms and forget who we are. You deserve to take time for yourself, do things that bring you joy, and truly enjoy motherhood. Let’s change the narrative that motherhood is unfulfilling. It is the biggest honor I’ve ever been given, and I want you to view your motherhood journey the same way.
So grab a cup of coffee, look around, and dive in. I hope my page brings you encouragement and helps you learn something new! Thank you so much for being here.
