And when you’re juggling work, errands, dinner, and kids running in and out of the house all day, convenience feels like the biggest win.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 eye-opening reasons why shopping small is actually worth it—even for the busiest moms. We’re diving into the less obvious trade-offs of big box shopping and the surprising wins that come from supporting small businesses, whether they’re online boutiques, your favorite local shop downtown, or that one talented maker on Etsy. You’ll learn how shopping small can: Save you time, stress, and design regret in the long run Bring more soul, uniqueness, and personality into your home Help you feel more connected to your space and your community Support real people (not just algorithms) Build relationships (without the use of chat bots) This isn’t about guilt or giving up every two-day delivery—it’s about reframing the way we decorate so our homes tell the stories we want to tell.
