Candles? Alternatives?

Okay ladies... Winter is here and I am a big sucker for candles. The warm flame and relaxing scents of cranberry and pine trees while watching the snow fall outside.. Ahhh ☺️ But I know that burning candles around a young one isn't necessarily the best choice because of the chemicals in them.

Anyone have any clean candle recommendations? Alternative options? Opinions? I'm honestly thinking of buying a flameless fake candle just for the ambience. 😂

Same question goes for plug-in air fresheners! We've been going without so far, but I'm honestly getting pretty sick of my stinky dog! 😋 When can we use air fresheners? Should I switch to essential oils?
