Welcome To My Little Corner Of The Web
🌿 About Better Without
Welcome to Better Without — I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a homeschooling mama of three, learning how to live more simply, naturally, and intentionally every day. What started as a small experiment in slowing down has grown into a way of life — one rooted in rhythm, mindfulness, and connection.
Our days are filled with Montessori-inspired learning, nature-based homeschooling, and a deep love for toxin-free, sustainable living. Between navigating my kids’ maths lessons, planning Montessori play for a curious toddler, and exploring our local Irish woods, we’ve built a family rhythm that’s both grounded and joyful. From embracing my natural grey hair to finding balance in clean beauty and slow homemaking, Better Without is a space to share what’s real — not perfect — about creating a home and life with intention.
🌸 Why “Better Without”?
It began as a whisper:
Life felt better without school, better without the rush, better without the noise.
Then I noticed it was also better without toxins, better without processed foods, and better without the pressure to keep up.
What started as a personal lifestyle shift has become a calling — to help other families discover what their version of “better without” might look like. Whether it’s simpler learning, cleaner living, or reconnecting with nature, this space exists to support that journey.
