my journey to eco-conscious living
Micaela Preston Mindful Momma

Hi I’m Micaela

I’m so glad you’re here because that means you have an interest in a natural, sustainable lifestyle!

I know how overwhelming it can feel to balance a busy life while trying to make healthier, more sustainable choices.

That’s exactly why I started Mindful Momma—to help make natural living easier, more accessible, and, most importantly, realistic for families like yours.

I Wasn’t Always the “Green” Mom

My own path to sustainable living wasn’t an overnight transformation. It happened gradually, with plenty of trial and error, research, and learning along the way. 

When my kids were little, I was very worried about all the chemicals in our home and products. I wished I had a magic wand to transform all of our products into safe and healthy ones.

Instead, I put in the hard work and research to make sure I was buying safe products and keeping our home as non-toxic as possible. And I’m proud to say, my two little boys have grown up into thriving young adults!
