Winter OOTD round up 🤎
6 outfits.
80% thrifted.
100% budget friendly.

Over the last year, I’ve really worked on finding my style instead of chasing whatever trend pops up next. I’ve been slowly building a wardrobe that feels collected, not consumed. Soft layers. Worn-in denim. Cozy knits. Boots that can handle chicken chores and still look sweet at breakfast in town.

Most of these pieces were thrifted over time. A cardigan here. A wool coat there. A pair of boots that just needed a little love. And somehow, when you stop rushing it, your closet starts to feel like you.

I linked what I could and found similar pieces for the thrifted treasures I couldn’t track down. Not everything is exact, but the vibe is there.

If you’d like to browse everything, comment SHOP and I’ll send you the link to my LTK 🤍

Homestead outfit of the day 🤎

Yesterday we spent our anniversary the best way we know how… breakfast together and slow wandering through thrift shops.

A flowy dress, soft cardigan, and my favorite cowboy boots.

Simple. Comfortable. A little bit romantic in the most ordinary way.

Twenty years, and he’s still my favorite person to roam the world with.

Homemade cleaning supplies

Cozy cottage living room finds!

I found this beautiful dark blue gingham fabric at our share shop (thrift store) for just a few dollars and couldn’t help myself. A little skirt for the dishwasher and the stove felt like the right kind of whimsy.

It instantly made the kitchen feel more cottage, more lived in, more us.

And if you hate it… no you don’t. Because I absolutely love it 🤍

iPad garden planner

This year, I’ve added something new to our garden season.
A new rhythm. One that will tell the story of our garden and homestead over the next decade.

The Gardeners Journal: 10-Year Chronicle feels less like a planner and more like a companion. A place to record what we planted, what surprised us, the years that were generous, and the ones that asked for patience. Notes on weather, harvests, failures, and small victories that would otherwise fade with time.

I love that you can find gently used copies still waiting for their story to begin, or purchase new ones through Lee Valley. Either way, it’s made for slow keeping. For gardeners who plan to stay.

A quiet tradition, added to the rhythm of the seasons.
One year at a time. 🌿

Today’s library haul is a mix of cozy winter reads, a little magic, and some much-needed sunshine.

I picked up The Frozen River, which already feels perfect for this time of year. Quiet, atmospheric, and made for slow reading days.

I also grabbed The Story Collector because it sounds cozy and full of magic, which I’m always drawn to.

For a bit of sunshine, I added The Life Impossible. Anything set in the Mediterranean feels like a small escape right now.

Garden planning is officially in full swing too, and I’m already loving The Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook. There’s so much good information in this one, I might have to add it to my own book collection. It’s also my second time checking out The Family Garden Plan, which is probably a sign that one should come home with me too.

Books for slowing down, dreaming ahead, and planning the season to come.
If you have any cozy or garden-related recommendations, I’d love to hear them 🤍

Cozy outfit of the day, homestead edition.

I love floaty skirts. They truly have my heart in a chokehold, especially paired with an oversized cardigan with lantern sleeves. Comfortable, warm, and all the cozy feels.

Everything is linked on Amazon and LTK, but keep an eye out while you’re thrifting too. Pieces like this show up all the time if you know what to look for.

What do you think we’re making with all this yarn? 🧶
Here’s a hint… it’s not a sweater, not a scarf, and it’s going to take all year to finish.
Any guesses?

Handmade Christmas crafts will forever be my favorite… dried oranges, cloves, garlands, and simmer pots for gifting. These little projects make the whole season feel cozy and meaningful.

Turning our manufactured home into our little country farmhouse cottage, one cozy corner at a time.

One thing I love about starting with a neutral paint color is how easy it is to shift a room with the seasons. When the walls stay soft and simple, you can change the whole mood just by swapping out bedding, curtains, or a few cozy textures. It keeps everything feeling fresh without having to redo the entire space.

Neutral paint gives you this calm backdrop that lets every little detail shine, and it makes it so simple to move from warm autumn tones to soft winter whites or spring florals. It’s such an effortless way to make your home feel new again.

Turning our leftover turkey into bone broth is one of my favorite old fashioned traditions. I simmer the carcass in my electric roaster, strain it in the morning, and then pressure can the broth so we have jars ready for winter soups and quick meals.

These are the canning tools I use every single time:

• Presto Digital Canner — my go-to for safe, hands-off pressure canning
• forjars Lids
• My favorite canning tools — funnel, jar grabber, dissolvable labels, and extra rings

Everything makes the process easier and keeps my pantry stocked with real homemade food. If you want to save this for your next turkey or chicken, the LTK link has all of my canning favorites in one place.

If you want an easy little treat to bake this weekend, these mini chocolate chip muffins are the recipe to save.
They come together fast, they stay soft for days, and they disappear even faster. My kids usually eat half the batch before they are cool.

MINI CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
• 1 and 1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Stir the dry and wet separately, combine until just mixed, fold in the chips, and fill your mini muffin pan almost to the top. Bake at 375 for about 10 to 12 minutes. They puff up beautifully and make the house smell warm and homey.

This is one of those simple little recipes that makes a morning feel special. A warm muffin. A quiet kitchen. A moment that slows the whole day down a bit.

And if you noticed in the video, I used my Bosch mixer again. It is still on sale for Black Friday and you can stack my code for an extra 20 dollars off. If you bake often or make a lot of dough, this is the mixer that makes it all easier. The link is in my bio.

Save this recipe for later and tell me what you are baking this week.

Turning our manufactured home into our little country farmhouse cottage — one cozy corner at a time.

We started in the bedroom, and these beautiful curtains from @twopagescurtains completely transformed the space. They’re definitely an investment piece, but one that’s so worth it. The quality, weight, and drape are unmatched — they add that timeless softness and vintage feel I love so much.

The hutch was a local antique find, the “frame TV” was a DIY project made from an old frame and brackets we found at Habitat for Humanity, and everything else was thrifted. Proof that creating a cozy, charming home doesn’t have to come from a big budget — it just takes heart, creativity, and a few treasures along the way.

I’m a near-40-year-old homestead mom with adult kids — and this is what I’ve been loving lately from Walmart Fall Fashion.
Affordable, practical, and still cute enough to wear from barn chores to dinner in town. I’m slowly learning that fashion in this season of life is all about comfort, confidence, and finding pieces that actually fit real life.

These cozy, affordable pieces are perfect for fall errands, pumpkin patch days, or just feeling put-together while staying comfortable.

The perfect summer-to-fall transition outfit 🍂

These linen pants are lightweight and breezy for warm afternoons, while this open-neck cardigan duster is perfect to throw on when mornings and evenings get cool. Paired with a loose-fit V-neck brown tank, comfy clogs or sandals, and our favorite crossbody bag — it’s an easy, budget-friendly look that feels put together without trying. 🌾

I’ve added a few of my go-to jewelry pieces and the budget-friendly perfume I wear daily (and always get compliments on!).
