Visit the Shop to bring these originals and art prints home with you!

We freshen the house each week during the year, but in the Autumn and Spring, it feels especially healthy to reorganize, sort, and reset plans for good, useful household routines.  Each item has a home and a purpose.  I always adore the last part of my favourite show, Gardener’s World, when they give “Jobs for the Weekend.”  You can apply this list idea not only for gardening, but for housekeeping, business, and outtings!  Instead of Jobs for the Weekend, we call it Pleasures or Ideas for the Weekend.  Set up pleasures for yourself.  Like Mary Poppins says, “In every task that must be done, there is an element of fun!”  Here are a few ideas that we’re doing this season.  Happy Spring!  Please visit my Shop for fresh inspiration for your home and a healthy lifestyle.  I’ll share a few ‘Pleasures for the Weekend’ each season, and you can read more in A Gentle Life Book Collection. What kind of pleasures will you plan for this weekend?  XOXO ~Amor Milagre

~Sort and review items.  Keep the useful for the every day, used lately, and useful for this season.  Organize one area a day/week so you take your time mindfully.  Sell, donate, gift, recycle, or reuse unwanted items in another way.  Gently and lovingly organize useful items with tidy, beautiful aesthetics.  Repair any items that need mending.  Crack the windows and clean your home with non-toxic cleaners.  (We use vinegar for most things.  It works wonderfully for organic beauty routines, too!  A post for this is coming up.)

~Wash windows, inside and out, for a clear view and mindful perspective.

~Go on outtings to seasonal local places that are now open for Spring.  We enjoy strolling plant nurseries for fresh inspiration.  (Remember to look for sustainable packaging when plant shopping.  Bring reusable shopping bags with you when doing any kind of shopping!  A post about this is coming up.)

~Cook with seasonal, farm-ready vegetables and fruits.  Revel in the beautiful shapes, flavours, and colours of Mamma Nature!

~Browse your library and request specific books.  Read stories and poems about the current time of year.  (A favourite book list post is coming up!)  Notice in your daily surroundings what is revealed in the book illustrations.  What wonders are around you that you may have overlooked?  How refreshing it is to be aware of life regrowing this month!

Amor Milagre: Reuse Ethical Packaging


Amor Milagre Ethical Sustainable Reusable Packaging Boxes Spring Collection 2019 Custom Design Art Organic Vegan Gifts Baby & Child amormilagre.com

A Gift for you!  Wrapped in respect for Nature, Amor Milagre packages are freshly wrapped this Spring so that you may reuse the boxes within for gifts and storage.  This prolongs the life of the box as a box.  The boxes can hold your dearest treasures or supplies waiting to become your dearest treasures.  Helpful on an office shelf, in a nursery, a bookshelf, or a storage room, these clean recycled brown boxes are a beautiful neutral for your home and office.  The packages are wrapped in a reusable, recycled brown kraft paper.  The name of the recipient is handwritten on the top of the package for a special personalized feeling upon arrival.  All packaging is responsibly sourced, made of recycled material, and FSC Certified.  I’ve always been in Love with the realm of trees and Nature.  It’s important to source responsible materials.  I use minimal packaging, and with this process, the box is able to be reused, Loved, and adored.  Use the paper for anything you can, and recycle or compost if too messy from shipping.  Use for packing when you move or ship another package.  Fold in half and use the clean sides to cover books for school or to soothe your bookshelf.  Paint a mural!  If clean, use both sides for a large blank canvas to draw on.  Kids will love this adventure!  Tidying up your home is very rewarding.  When all of your things have a special place, you can easily find what you crave, and save your energy for the next passion to enjoy in life.  Love to the trees!  XOXO  ~Amor Milagre

Amor Milagre Ethical Sustainable Reusable Packaging Boxes nature Spring Collection Light 2019 Custom Design Art Organic Vegan Gifts Baby & Child amormilagre.com

I adore calligraphy and classic bakery style boxes.  My packaging doesn’t use string, but I love the feeling of a parcel wrapped in brown paper with your name on it!  This is especially exciting when someone else has bought this surprise for you.  A little box on your doorstep!  What is inside?  A gift for me!

Another way to keep your order’s packaging in good shape for reuse is to instruct your mail carrier, (we use USPS for all orders), to deliver your packages to a specific spot.  One that is nice, dry, and easy for you to see and bring in.  You can also ask to pick up your parcels at the post office so they stay very dry and clean. 

 

It’s a lovely and vital idea for everyone to cut down on using excessive amounts of packaging and packaging that is wasted or only used once.  We can grow more Love for the initial materials and energy used to make even one simple box.  How many uses can you find for a box?  Children love to play with boxes.  These boxes make wonderful beds for dolls, puppet stages, houses for tiny mice toys, treasure chests for letters from Dear Ones, and beaches for my upcoming organic cotton toy collection!  They are also perfect for storing artwork, holiday cards, and art & craft supplies.  The labels help children learn to spell and read.  Amor Milagre is an inclusive company.  I not only try to include all people when making the product collections, choosing packaging, and mindfully writing new book characters, but how is everything cherished?  How can a product live throughout time?  How can we share Love and responsibly choose ‘A Gentle Life?’

This way of packing my products also saves you time and space, while being very helpful around the house.

No trip to the recycling center on our account.  Less energy to recycle materials. 

A new, fun tool for you to keep your belongings happy and in good condition!

As an artist and designer, it really helps to organize my belongings into labeled boxes. 

Everything is there at your fingertips!  All of the boxes live on a storage shelf, easy to find.
