I can’t just spend my entire days hanging up pictures on the wall or making my bed or unpacking more boxes from the barn.

Mama’s got stuff to do, y’all.  (That’s funnier if you hear me say it in person because it’s a ridiculous reference to some old video from ages ago that made the kids and I laugh.)

But for real.  I have stuff to do.  So. Much. Stuff.

Like everyone else in the world, of course.

We’ve all got stuff to do.  

And some of those things I do help pay the bills around here.  (Bills that should be less – am I right? – because heating a 118 year old farm ain’t cheap.)  And some of those things I do help to streamline the routine and the busy that comes with a full house and a full life.  And every now and again, what I do actually accomplishes both at the same time.

The Grove Collaborative is one of those dual purpose sort of tasks.  Multi-tasking.  That’s my favorite.  Form and function.  Beauty and style.  Two for one.  All of the above.

Ordering my household supplies and whatnot from Grove helps me to avoid the store (yay!) and helps me to keep my house tidy and smelling good (double yay!) AND telling you about my Grove orders helps me pay my bills.  Because when you decide to buy from Grove, it helps my family too.  (It’s important to me to put all this out there.  I only support products I actually like and use, but it sure is handy when promoting the products I like and use also helps me to feed my kids and keep them supplied with art pencils, shoes and spaghetti – not in that order.)

This month’s incentive to sign up for Grove is all about the fall.  And although it for sure still feels like summer up in here, autumn is coming for us.  I’m not pumpkin crazy – don’t give me a spiced latte please – but I will take a pumpkin muffin if you’re offering.

But they’re not offering muffins.  Or lattes.

But they are offering this fall line up:

• • • Mrs. Meyer’s Fall hand soap
    • Mrs. Meyer’s Fall dish soap
    • Mrs. Meyer’s Fall multi-surface spray

 

 

Which, frankly, I’d prefer over the latte.

Remember – this is all FREE with your first Grove sign up and a $20 purchase.  

You guys – every autumn scent is great, for real – but that apple cider one?  My favorite!!

And – here’s another reminder of the process itself —

1. Sign up through this link.
2. The free items will be added to your cart as you sign up.  (You can choose your scents.  I like them all but that basil is a nice one for summer.  Can’t wait for the Apple Cider one to hit the virtual shelves.)
3. Order $20 worth of other products that you want from Grove.  There’s gobs of good choices.  I always buy the dishwasher tabs – the ones I do NOT have to unwrap.  I also usually buy Tom’s toothpaste.  Everyone at our house likes it.  I buy the Method toilet bowl cleaner usually too.  Sometimes I add in a new loofah.  (I like a bar of soap but the kids love a loofah.)  They carry quality feminine hygiene products from Seventh Generation and just about anything else you would need.
4. That’s it!
5. You’ll be signed up for monthly orders at this point.  They are GREAT about regular emails to alert you to when your next order is coming.  Then you can change your cart, add more, take away items, push the order back to another month – whatever works for you.
6. There’s no requirement to order more or to order a certain dollar amount.  Just push your month back if you don’t need anything then.

If you are already signed up – and thank you if you are – this month you get a free Grove replaceable head dish brush.

Let me know what your favorite Grove products currently are.

 

 

And – I’m also adding in some photos of the boys room as it is coming along nicely.  It’s been such a gift to have floors without splinters – who knew that could be so nice?

They’ve got these cute bunkbeds – and the lamps came with the house and they are one of my favorite features – the red cord even.

 

 

And their fishing corner.  They are obsessed.

 

 

And their bookshelf along the other wall.  It’s holding a large majority of our games and puzzles because there is not a hall closet here.

 

 

And – this little canvas hammock under their bed is supposed to be for stuffed animals – but apparently it doubles for Puck’s bunk too.

 

 

They’re hoping for a bean bag chair addition in their room too – so we’ll see what we can do.  Too bad Grove doesn’t sell those!
