Healthy and Happy
at Home

My goal
I first became intentional about trying to make healthy choices when I was in college. What started from trying to pay attention to my diet has evolved into expanding my view of what healthy really means. Over the years I have tried many approaches to eating and exercising and have learned that having a healthy home involves our physical as well as social, mental, and spiritual selves and everything in between. My goal is to share products I’ve loved, ideas I’ve tried, and approaches that stick.
About me
I'm Janalyn, married and a mother of five. I am always willing to try different ideas, approaches, and products that help to create a healthy home for me and my family. Most conversations that I have with friends tend to have some element of what I am doing for myself or my family's health and wellness.
