Practical Tips for Homemaking, Homesteading & Low-Tox lifestyle

Hey there!
Thank you so much for stopping by Root and Reason Living! I’m so glad you’re here. My hope is that you’ll find my posts helpful and inspiring as you navigate the sometimes overwhelming world of managing your home, pantry, and budget.
My goal is simple: to help you embrace the basics, simplify your daily routines, and feel more confident in running your household. You’re not alone in this journey, and I want to make it a little lighter and a lot more manageable. Through sharing easy-to-learn skills, practical systems, and thoughtful tips, I aim to take some of the stress off your shoulders—so you can enjoy the process, feel grounded, and maybe even have a little fun along the way.

Root
Root is about building a home on what truly lasts — basic skills, simple food, and intentional habits. From cooking from scratch to stocking a practical pantry, it’s a return to grounded homemaking that values usefulness over excess.​​
​
Reason
Reason is about making thoughtful, intentional choices at home. From budgeting with clarity to choosing practical systems that make sense, Reason focuses on doing things on purpose — avoiding waste, impulse spending, and short-lived trends in favor of decisions that support a calm, well-run home.
​
Root and Reason is a practical approach to homemaking — grounded in foundational skills and guided by thoughtful, intentional choices.
