Summary

I asked who you all wanted to hear on the podcast, and you answered! My sister Laura of Our Oily House is joining me today to talk all about where to start when you are swapping out toxic products in your home. We cover cleaning your home, caring for your hair and skin, and how to fit these projects into a full schedule. Then we answer some of the questions that you all submitted through Instagram. We dive into motherhood, pregnancy, online business, our childhoods, living a natural lifestyle, our differences. We laughed a lot in the episode, and I hope you will enjoy listening in on this chat with my sister!

In this episode, we cover:

Simple, non-toxic recipes to replace all your household cleaners
How to find time in your busy life to make natural household products
The few simple ingredients you can keep in your home to make almost every product you need
How to use lye in soap making; it’s not as scary as you think!
What the relationships between our kids look like
Our theory on why we have both had so many boys in a row
How you can have time to yourself even with a big family
Recognizing and appreciating the differences in kids’ personalities
Making sure you aren’t working 24/7 when you run an online business

Thank you to our sponsors!

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast. As you can see, today I have a special guest,
0:04.7	my sister Lara from our oily house. A lot of you know her. If you don't, I will go ahead and
0:10.4	introduce you to her. So she is a mom of five. She has a blog and a YouTube channel. You can tell
0:17.8	what about yourself and your blog, YouTube. Pretty much on the blog, it is a lot of different,
0:25.6	like natural recipes for skincare, hair care, cleaning supplies, things like that. And then on
0:31.4	YouTube, I share a lot of similar stuff as Lisa does, just cooking, cooking videos and
0:37.2	no, no, no, kind of like from scratch, cooking that I do for my family. Yes. So we are going to be
0:42.7	talking about natural swaps for a safer, toxin-free home. But then we're also going to dive into a Q&A,
