Spent some much needed time out in my greenhouse t

Spent some much needed time out in my greenhouse today prepping it for gardening and seed starting. I’ve said before that I’ve been an “every other day-er” as far as my emotions and I’ve really learned a lot about myself these past few weeks. I’m sure a lot of positive things will come out of this difficult time, but so far two very important lessons I’ve learned are: ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
1- It’s ok to slow down. It’s ok to have slow days. In fact we need the slow days. I’m not going to lie, about a week before this all happened I got on my knees in tears and prayed for God to slow my mind down because I was feeling out of control. Now that I’ve been forced to slow down I’m really seeing just how important it is.⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
2- Be more resourceful- I could go on about this topic, but I’ll just touch on it lightly. This pandemic has taught me just how wasteful I was & how resourceful I wasn’t being. I find myself saving more and using what I have more & it feels so good! Jose and I have built and fixed the farm up with so much material we already had this week where as before I feel like for each project we were adding to our pile of material.. that’s just one example. I’m learning a valuable lesson in resourcefulness that I’m embarrassed to say that I strayed away from. It feels good to be back. ⁣

There is a lot more we can learn from this and that we are learning from this, but one thing I hope we are all learning is to be kinder, to give more often, and to give grace at all times... we all need all of these things more than ever in one way or another. Love you guys! xx

Who else feels like Winnie today?! 🙋🏻‍♀️🐶 It was a cold & rainy day here in Michigan so we ended up working & then taking a two hour family nap & laying in bed after that for forever.. it was the BEST birthday gift I could get. We then came downstairs and ate a cake Jose baked for my birthday. Honestly this pandemic is teaching me a lot of lessons, but slowing down might be my favorite one. Love you all and I hope you are taking care of your health from your mind to your body.. I know it’s a struggle right now, but it’s so important & so are you. Love you all! We got this! 🌈💪🏼❤️ #whitecottagefarm #cozywhitecottagebook #whitecottagewinnie

This is 32. Home social distancing with my favorit

This is 32. Home social distancing with my favorite boys & playing outside on this beautiful Michigan day. This birthday looks different than others, but oh my what a perfect day it was. A simple slow day with my two favorite boys. A cake baked by Jose and some DIY projects... honestly I wouldn’t have wanted it to look any different if we weren’t under a stay at home order.. life is good. Thanks for all the birthday love today & for always loving on our family. We love you big!🌈🏡👶🏻👩🏻🧔🏻

SO COZY! If you missed it, today in my stories I t

SO COZY! If you missed it, today in my stories I took some time to clear out this room in the back of our house that was my old office that we were using for storage. I wanted to create a cozy hangout spot for our little fam so I shopped our house & threw this room together.. it’s not quite done, but when it is, I will blog the before and after & tips to shop your home. For now, head to my stories to watch me work in this room & get some cozy tips. I don’t know about you guys, but cleaning, decorating, and being productive has really made my mood 💯 times better & has eased my anxiety a lot during this time.. do you like me sharing all of this with you in stories and on my feed? Does it help you? I’m sending you all the cozy vibes tonight!! #whitecottagefarm #cozywhitecottagebook
