We are The Hamilton Household. What started as a “crazy idea” has launched a full-time business that strives to better the world.
My name is Diana Hamilton. My two sons (Devin and Jack), my husband (Zayne), and I live in Greenville, South Carolina and have been here since early 2021. We are Florida natives, but one day decided to pick up and leave to go to a place where we didn’t know anyone. We’ve loved every second living here, and we plan to raise our family here.
When I got pregnant with my first son in August of 2021, I started to be more aware of the toxic chemicals that we were consuming every day. I couldn’t stand the smell of my beloved candles, but I also didn’t like the smell of our apartment with two cats. I researched a natural alternative to candles and found out about simmer pots. Finally, something that didn’t make me sick!
In October of 2022, I was still actively using simmer pots in my daily life. At this point we had moved into a 3 bedroom house, adopted a Golden Retriever puppy, and had a 5 month old. I was truly amazed at how simple yet effective those simmer pots were. I had the idea of making simmer pot kits for stocking stuffers, and decided to post on my local mom group on Facebook to see if anyone else would be interested.
At that point, I knew this would take off. I had dozens of comments and messages requesting to purchase some of the kits. I worked (quite literally) all day and night, on top of my full time work from home job with our baby at home, to fulfill orders left and right.
It was time to open my Etsy shop, and made a few more scents before the holidays. This led to the launch of my blog, more products, and eventually the ability to stay home full time.
I am so excited to share my journey, knowledge, and products with you!
