I lived in Sevierville, Tennessee for a year in my twenties, Dolly’s hometown. It quickly became our home away from home. It was where we welcomed our son into this world, where the four of us learned and grew so much living far from family and friends. It was where I grew a real love for her. It w

Summer’s slow goodbye The light gets a little softer this time of year, a little more golden, like it already knows what’s coming next. #slowliving #countryliving #latesummer #cozyseason #michiganhomestead

If you love a cozy thrifted home, come on in, I’ve got coffee on. So many of these pieces got here slow, one thrifted find at a time, and some days I just like to sit back and look at what it’s become. #cottagecore #thrifted #countryliving #cozyhome #slowliving

I have been swimming in green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers lately, and honestly, I have never been happier about it. This is the season for canning tomatoes, pickling jalapeños and putting up a batch of cowboy candy before it slips away. This is exactly where I want to be, hands full, mor

Spend the day with us in our little country cottage, canning up green beans fresh from the garden. Today we pressure canned a big batch for side dishes to get us through the whole year, and we also tried our very first batch of dilly beans, something we have never made before and I could not be mor

Cozy season is right around the corner, but let's be honest, it is still very much summer. So here is the perfect drink for right now, one that feels like that first little glimpse of fall without giving up a single bit of the sunshine. Cozy Fall Simple Syrup 2 cups water, 1 cup regular sugar,

Goodwill's newest store in mid Michigan did not disappoint. The Halloween pop up shop was everything I hoped it would be and more. The line was long, the staff did an incredible job, and we walked away with some absolutely amazing treasures. Some are going to be styled for fall in the months to

Harvest season is here, which means Halloween is right around the corner. Even though I am still in full summer mode, all you fall lovers are going to love this sneak peek at @Goodwill of Mid-Michigan’s brand new Halloween pop up shop. I got a little behind the scenes access and I was completely

I have been feeling like my house was starting to look like a thrift store. I have been trying to create a timeless farmhouse style cottage, but sometimes it becomes too much of something you love, and it started feeling chaotic instead of cozy. So I scaled back. I decided to purge a lot of the thi

Welcome back to the homestead. This weekend completely got away from us, between the garden and stocking the pantry the kitchen got a real workout, so this morning called for a little end of summer reset. Favorite playlist on, jars from the canner moved off the counter, and my favorite seasonal sce

Sorry, right now all my plans are soaking up every last bit of the harvest. It’s August and we’re holding onto the last bit of summer as fall starts to peek through. Had a thunderstorm this morning, air thick and warm, just enough of a break in the rain to get outside and pick blueberries. I

Things I’m loving right now that money can’t touch. Ribbons tied in my hair because I i needed my hair out of my face and wanted to feel pretty at the same time. Baskets so full of produce I’m running out of counter. Jars lined up like little soldiers, still warm from the canner. A bask

Here is to the quiet life. The slow days. The simple moments people breeze right past without ever stopping to notice them.
