Well, that was quite the opening day here at @thefoundcottage! It was not what we thought it would look like with masks & people shopping by appointment only, but we are just thankful to have our doors back open after being shut down since March. I hesitated sharing our store opening tonight because, well, read the room right? But so many artists, creatives, & staff depend on our small shop for their livelihood so here I am thanking you for supporting our small shop on opening day & for supporting all of the amazing people under our roof always. I want to also thank you for your kind words on my last post and for the support/assistance through this desire to do better and be better for equality, but alas.. this isn’t about me so this is me signing off of my feed for a few days as I sit and listen to those who have more wisdom to shed than I do on this subject. I will be in stories popping in & probably doing something creative on my blog, but hopefully your timeline will be filled with something other than the noise I would add this week. I love you all & again, thank you for making this a kind corner of the Internet where we all grow and learn together in all of the things! xx

This is Cope running around our farm. He’s our s

This is Cope running around our farm. He’s our son. Jose and I adopted him in February 2019. The day we adopted him was the day that my greatest role on this earth started... to raise a kind, loving, empathetic, inclusive, & gracious human being. Jose and I have had a lot of tough conversations this week about raising this beautiful human. Of course these conversations have been had before in passing because Cope is white 👶🏼 [his birth mom and birth dad are both white] and now he has one Hispanic dad [Jose🧔🏻] and one white mom [me👩🏻] which we thought was a cool part of Cope’s story, but this week our eyes were opened to a broader look at this subject. You see, we are not racist, but that’s not enough. This week opened my eyes to see how we have to actively talk about race with Cope, diversify his world as much as we can, & educate him [& ourselves] on ways we can be better & do better to make the world a more accepting place to all people. I have to admit I am ashamed that it took this hard and heavy week to think deeper on this subject... not saying it would have never came up in our parenting, but our eyes have been opened and our awareness has been deepened this week. Another admition: this is uncomfortable for me because I feel like my voice is small on this subject of race and equality & that I am not worthy to speak on it, but I don’t want to sit back and be silent either while the world is so heavy with injustice and inequality. This is also uncomfortable for me because I come from a pure place, but it’s a heavy subject and I don’t want to offend ever. But you know what else is uncomfortable for so many daily? Racism. So here I am learning daily, continuing to listen, donating, & being an ally as best as I can. It all starts at home my friends. I love you all so much. Let’s all love each other more. xx #copelandbeau #whitecottagefarm

HAPPY TO BE HOME! If you missed it in my stories,

HAPPY TO BE HOME! If you missed it in my stories, we have spent the past few days working hard at our shop, @thefoundcottage, getting it ready to open on Monday. It’s been closed since march 18th & before the pandemic hit we were supposed to open the new part of our store, but that got interrupted so we are finally getting to do that as well. Our opening is going to look way different than planned [shopping by appointment], but different doesn’t always have to be negative... we are excited to get to open our doors again! My feet hurt, my body hurts, my baby is tired, we haven’t spent any daylight hours at home hardly, but oh man I’m so thankful tonight and forever grateful for the opportunity to work hard. The world is in a state of unrest right now & we are feeling lots of emotions, but I’ve learned through all of this that it’s ok to feel every single emotion all at once inside my heart from anger to sadness to joy and thankfulness. Can you tell on all these faces that they are happy we are home too? I think [& hope] we all sleep like babies tonight! 👶🏻🌈🏡☀️ #whitecottagefarm #copelandbeau #cozywhitecottage

Since yesterday I showed my face & shared a little

Since yesterday I showed my face & shared a little of me, I thought it would be fitting to introduce you to these two sweet souls behind this account as well. My husband, best friend, & soulmate holding my son, my rainbow, my light. Jose & Cope. As much as I’m on here every single day & I share my heart.. these two are a huge part of everything I do so if you are here, please remember these sweet faces while you are visiting. Jose is a marine corps veteran with the biggest heart and more patience than anyone I know. Jose and I struggled for over 6 years to grow our little family, we have lost 10 babies to miscarriage, we have endured a decade of military life and many deployments. We have moved many times, and finally landed here on @whitecottagefarm a few years back. We finally started the adoption process & then last February this little sweet babe of ours was born and his amazing birth mom chose us to be his parents. That’s just a snippet of how we became the little trio that we are. Thankful for the struggle, thankful for the triumphs, but mostly just thankful for these two & the life we have. We’ve endured many storms, but the rainbow is always worth it! 🌧🌈👶🏻🧔🏻 Thank you for being here with us in the highs and the lows friends & thanks for being here with the three of us. We love sharing snippets of our lives with you guys & we hope you always feel inspired while you are here! xx

Hi! I’m Liz Marie, the momma, the wife, the daug

Hi! I’m Liz Marie, the momma, the wife, the daughter, the sister, the author, the designer, the blogger, the DIY-er, the shop owner, the real person behind this account. Some of you may be new here, some may have been here since the beginning, but this is me [when I put makeup on and take a selfie with the portrait mode & put a preset on it 😛] I’m a real person with real feelings & real imperfections. Often times I think we forget that their are real souls who are hard enough on themselves behind these accounts... I mean, I sometimes forget too! I’m sure it’s common because we are all sharing our best selves here, we are sharing our highlights of our day. Sometimes we share the hard stuff, but did I share my rookie mistake when I took cope’s swim diaper off today and forget to see what was in it so what was in it fell out? [well, now I did, but back to my point..] no I didn’t because this is a space where I pick and choose what to share. Is it helpful? Is it uplifting? Is it happy? Is it needed? Sometimes I’ll share those funny/bad moments, but you only see 5 minutes of my entire day here when you add up all the clips... so please remember you do not know the whole story, see the whole picture, or know the battles we have faced that day... as I would hope I would always be kind to you, I hope you will choose to be kind to everyone on this app. We all have different beliefs, we all have different backgrounds, we all have different battles, but one thing we all have together is kindness. There is always a kind way to say something, & if there isn’t... don’t say it. I never knew what people meant when they said it was brave to be on here everyday, but I got a taste of that today. If you share here or anywhere, a piece of yourself, you are brave. Keep sharing friends & keep shining your light bright no matter who or what tries to dull it. I’m cheering for you as I hope you cheer for me. Love you friends and thanks for being here! #whitecottagefarm
