Thank you for support!

Who Gives A Crap is possibly the best thing to happen to toilet paper since …. well …. EVER. They have taken something that tends to always be boring and have made it fun. And even better, it’s plastic free! Each roll is wrapped in a fully recyclable colorful paper that tells you everything you need to know about what’s inside.

Our package of beautifully colored TP came on maybe the best day possible. I was feeling out of ideas in regards to keeping Jude occupied …. counting down the hours until dad was to come home. Since cutting out TV for Jude (well mostly ….), there have been days where I start to feel overwhelmed trying to think of something else for him to do that will take longer than five minutes. It’s amazing how quickly a four year old can move from one activity to the next. And then …. the doorbell rang. And just like that an unexpected game that lasted most of the afternoon. Who knew that making a toilet paper tower and then knocking it down, over and over again could be so fun. He’s been asking to do it everyday since. In fact, he’s asking me to do it now.

More than being a fun game, and pretty to look at, below are 7 reasons why Who Gives A Crap is the only toilet paper our family will ever purchase.

1. 50% of all profits are donated to help build toilets in developing countries.
2. Each roll is double the length which means it lasts twice as long. (each box lasts our family of three about five months)
3. They offer a subscription service so we never have to worry about running out of toilet paper.
4. Who Gives A Crap helps support our low waste home, something we’ve really tired to be extra conscious about this year.
5. The only plastic you’ll see is from the small amount of tape holding the shipping box closed.
6. As far as sustainable toilet paper goes (we’ve tried several), Who Gives A Crap feels and holds up the best …. it doesn’t fall apart when using it.
7. To date they have donated over 1.8 million Australian dollars.

Where do we keep all that toilet paper you ask? Sure living it a tiny home makes finding places for excess anything difficult. But when it comes to running out of TP, stashing a few extra under the bed, a chair, or in the cleaning closet suddenly doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

Being a stay at home mama is one of the best and hardest things I’ve ever done. Our days are as equally as beautiful and wonderful as they are immensely challenging. Finding that balance between giving Jude everything he needs and trying to find a minute to give back to myself has probably been the biggest challenge, especially since moving away from our friends and family. For myself, nap times are sometimes the only time I get to really recharge and so I try and take every advantage during this precious time to do just that. And while I do often have to use this time to get on top of laundry or the piled-up dishes, or that pile of dust I’ve ignored too many times, I try and always incorporate something that will help me feel uplifted and refreshed.




One of my favorite things to do during this time is to catch up on podcasts. Being able to lay down and close my eyes or catch up on the laundry while listening to other’s experiences or being lost in a story …. Well it’s just my favorite. I recently got the opportunity to try the Swift 7 laptop by Acer and I love how easy it is to pull up and begin right where I left off using the Podcast application.



I thought I’d share with you a few of my favorite podcast topics as far as parenting and deep thinking go …. but I’d love to hear any of your current favorites as well if there are any you’d like to share.

• pre-school / early childhood education
• parenting
• mindfulness / health

Welcome to the new Chalk White Arrow. As you may be able to tell, a lot of changes have taken place over here. There are still tweaks to be made and a few things that need changing … At this point in time, life is seeming to take longer than I plan for, but I appreciate you all being patient with me. Starting Monday, things will be getting more consistent around here. My goal is to get at least two posts up a week and possibly increase post frequency a little as we go along. A big THANK YOU to all of you who have stuck around … to those who have remained loyal readers, who send me kind words, who have always been supportive … This blog remains because of you.

Until then, you can find me on Instagram
