Hey there!

I'm Jess

I'm 30 years old, married to the love of my life, Alexander, and live in the suburbs of Chicago with my two kids and are sweet Australian Shepherd, Bali.

As a mom of two, I know just how important it is to stay organized and find all the products that will make life easier (and better). With the help of the millions of moms in my community, I find and share the BEST baby, toddler, and home products out there- In addition to hacks, advice, and relatable content that will make you (and me) feel seen and understood.

I'm a crunchy-ish mom that prioritizes foods without harmful ingredients and products without harmful chemicals so my product recommendations will reflect that.

🎁 GREAT practical gift idea for kids with Tonieboxes!!

We gave this to my toddler a month ago and she is obsessed. It’s a very practical gift that we both benefit from, I no longer have tonies all over the entire house… And she has a cute play space!

‼️ Or simply say “no thank you”- no explanation needed. Nobody else needs to hold your baby if you don’t want them to.

I can wear this guy the ENTIRE DAY in this carrier because it’s so dang comfortable. If you’re in the market for one- this one from @lovesakurabloom is hands down the best one out there. (Your back will thank me )

Comment LAUNDRY and I’ll send you the link to the detergent that we use instead WITH an exclusive discount code for 100 or 300 FREE loads!!! 🫶🏻

(Make sure you’re following @jessicahaizman so you can receive the message!)

One of the most shocking things to me is that HARMFUL products can be marketed towards babies. As a mom, why wouldn’t you buy the pretty pink detergent that is specially crafted to be “gentle” on your sweet babies skin? It’s so sad how much we have to learn ourselves to protect our babies.

I’ve tried many non-toxic brands in the past but the best I’ve found is Truly Free. This laundry detergent is completely non-toxic and safe for the family but smells like the GOOD STUFF 🍃😍 (or grab the unscented version for extra sensitive skin)

Not only delicious but NUTRITIOUS! But seriously, I drink this everyday and don’t feel guilty one bit.

Comment RECIPE & I’ll send this (and a surprise) to your inbox or find the full recipe below 👇

LMNT is an electrolyte packet filled with sodium, potassium, & magnesium. The homemade marshmallows are made with gelatin which is great for your gut health and a variety of other benefits as well!

Hot Chocolate Ingredients:
-1.5 Cups milk of choice (we like raw cows milk!)
-1/2 TBSP Vanilla Extract
-1 Packet Chocolate LMNT (we prefer the chocolate chai but they also have raspberry, mint, & Carmel!)
-1-2 Homemade Marshmallows (recipe below)
-1/8 TSP Cinnamon

Hot Chocolate Instructions:
On a stovetop heat milk and vanilla until first signs of boiling. Pour into mug and add LMNT to taste. I HIGHLY recommend sprinkling in slowly, I typically use less than 1/4 of a packet per cup. Top with homemade marshmallows and enjoy ! 😉

A special thanks to @healthcoachmaria_rn for this amazing marshmallow recipe. (I do have to note it took me a few tries to get the hang of it!)

Marshmallows Ingredients:
3 TBSP grass fed gelatin
2 cups water
1/4 maple syrup
1/2 tap vanilla

Marshmallow Instructions
1. Heat 1 cup water and maple syrup and bring to 240 degrees on stovetop
2. Mix gelatin and 1 cup of water and stir in mixing bowl
3. Add hot maple syrup and water mixture into bowl with gelatin and then whip on high for 10 minutes or when it starts to make high peaks ( hand mixer not ideal🤣)
4. Pour in Pyrex dish that is 9x7 so they are giant 🤓
5. Put in fridge for at least 3 hours and sprinkle with cinnamon

✨I thought that this tradition seemed super cool and I’m really excited to try it out this year!

Basically you pick a day, maybe December 1st as your “opening day”. This basically marks the start of the season. I filled up a box full of new and old books, toys, and more festive fun for my daughter to open!

👉 Cue the Christmas pajamas, Christmas music & hot chocolate wow the family decorates the tree together! 🎄

Comment OPEN & I’ll send you links to everything that I included in our box (I may be adding a few more Amazon deliveries as well) 😆

What does a real postpartum experience look like? 🤷‍♀️ It’s different for everyone but for me 👇

🖤 I spent 1 day in a *organic* diaper (lots of blood!) 🩸

🖤Spent 1 week in Frida Mom Underwear with organic HEAVY DUTY pads 🙌

🖤Spent 1 month in high waisted cotton underwear with organic regular pads 👏

🖤 & a couple more weeks with organic panty liners for the random leakage! 😎

✨ Comment FESTIVE & I’ll send you the link to the new holiday prints at Essembly!

We’ve been using Essembly for about a year now 👇

❤️We replaced plastic wrap & tinfoil with their adorable bowl covers
💚We replaced paper towels with their reusable towel roll and waterproof ditty bags
❤️We replaced plastic storage bags with their reusable bags that snap shut

They were easy swaps that are better for my health AND the planet! 🌎

These would make a great hostess gift, stocking stuffer, or you can use it for holiday treats, and gift it to the person along with the treat! 🍪

We’ve been using Force Of Nature in our home for around 4 years - from our kitchen 🧑‍🍳 to our bathrooms 🚽, and everywhere in between! 🛋️

I feel comfortable using it around my family (AND PETS! 🐶) but it’s strong & effective.

Never heard of it? 👇🏼

Force of Nature is an EPA registered sanitizer & disinfectant that kills 99.9% of germs. Yep... you can even replace that jug of bleach for a toxin-free option! 🤯
