Every year, Thanksgiving arrives with the same mix of excitement and overwhelm. The recipes. The planning. The cleaning. The pressure to make it all feel a certain way.

But over time, I’ve learned something simple and freeing:

A meaningful holiday doesn’t require perfection.

Just intention.

Especially when you’re trying to keep your home low-tox and your energy grounded.

Because the truth is, traditional holiday prep can be a lot—synthetic fragrances, plastic everything, candles that pollute your air, and the endless rush to “do more” when your body is already tired.

So this year, I’m choosing something different.

Something softer.

Something kinder to my home, my body, and my family.

Here’s what a Non-Toxic Thanksgiving looks like for us.
