52 weeks of Wolf : 19.52 + the view from 36 inches

52 weeks of Wolf : 19.52 / photo by Alyson Brown, Unruly Things

I’m excited to share with you two videos of Wolf today along with our usual weekly photo. this past month, I partnered with Seventh Generation for their Campaign for a Toxin-Free Generation. the campaign is designed to celebrate how liberating life can be without toxins, not only for us as parents but especially for those little guys. you know, the ones that are 36 inches tall.

Seventh Generation offers truly effective home, body and baby care products that are free of parabens, 1,4-dioxane, or other concerning ingredients. and if you’re a parent of a toddler, you know good and well that life can get pretty messy and involve lots of clean up. it’s comforting to know that the products I’m using to clean our home {or Wolf for that matter} are safe and toxin-free.

Seventh Generation invited me to participate in their campaign and sent us a GoPro camera to get a glimpse of life from Wolf’s view at 36 inches. we got outside. we rode bikes rather than driving. we let him get dirty. and we lived toxin-free. I hope you enjoy!

would you like to participate too? post a video or photo of your kids being kids and Seventh Generation will donate $1 in your name to Women’s Voices for the Earth (WVE)*. WVE strives to create a world in which everyone lives in a healthy environment, free from chemicals of concern. *up to $15,000

little things : climbing wall

how fun would it be to have a little climbing wall in your home for your future adventure seeker? if my little climber takes after his dad {who would literally climb the bare walls in his house} then I just know he’d love it. what a cool idea!

guest post : pretty indoor plant inspiration

while my family and I are enjoying fun in the sun in the Philippines, I’ve asked a few of my favorite ladies to contribute a little guest post for Unruly Things. here’s some beautiful inspiration from Kim of Ethanollie and Maven Collective.

Having lived in the Pacific Northwest for less than two years, I have not grown accustomed to the forever winters that seem to stretch until summer, somehow rendering all signs of spring invisible. In my former home in the Northeast we had long, cold winters. But Spring, though short lived, was grand…my favorite time of year. I don’t yet have a yard to call my own, but I dream of the day that I do, and of filling it with all the spring bulbs, ephemerals and early perennials it can bear.

Until then, I fill my windowsills with green…cactus, dracena, succulents and ferns. I am going to try my hand at a small indoor bog garden this year, and maybe a small fruit tree once the weather turns. Until then…here are some pretty plant photos that leave me weak in the knees…spare, a little sun starved, but all the better for it. I’m wishing an early spring on everyone…wherever you are!
