As Independence Day approaches, I’ve been thinking a lot about what freedom really means.

When we’re young, freedom looks like getting a driver’s license, moving out on our own, or making our own decisions. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that freedom isn’t having all the answers.

Freedom is taking the next step when you’re unsure.

Building Taeda Farms has stretched me in ways I never expected. We’ve redesigned flower beds, changed plans more times than I can count, and faced challenges I never saw coming. Every day seems to bring a new lesson in patience, persistence, and trust.

I’ve realized that freedom isn’t found on the other side of certainty.

It’s found in the willingness to begin before you feel ready.

If you’ve ever found yourself standing in unfamiliar territory, wondering if you’re capable of figuring it out, you’re not alone.
I shared more of these lessons in this week’s blog. I’d love for you to give it a read.

Today, we take a moment to remember the men and women who gave everything for the freedoms we often take for granted. We also take a moment to recognize the families who made those sacrifices, as well.

Their sacrifice shaped the lives we get to live today, and we will never forget. 🤍

Today we remember the men and women who gave everything for the freedoms we often take for granted. 🇺🇸

Their sacrifice shaped the lives we get to live today, the slow mornings, the family gatherings, the ordinary moments that are only possible because of extraordinary courage.

Remembering. Honoring. Grateful.

“Land of the free, because of the brave.” 🤍

Somewhere between a business meeting and a text from our contractor… everything shifted.

What used to feel slow, messy, and “are we even making progress?” suddenly turned into this is actually happening.

A few photos of freshly mulched land and I was out here acting like a proud parent 😂 passing my phone around, telling the whole story whether people asked or not.

Because when it’s your dream… you feel it differently.

This farm isn’t just land.

It’s patience.
It’s vision.
It’s a whole lot of “one step forward, two steps back”…until one day it clicks and you can finally see it.

And in that moment?

You’d trade any meeting, any schedule, any “important” thing… just to be outside, hands in the dirt, watching it come to life.
If you’re in a season where it feels slow…keep going.

Those little glimmers? They matter more than you think.

Somewhere between building a farm, raising kids, and trying to live slower, we hit a funny problem:
What do you even call your house?

The farm has a name, Taeda Farms, but the house?

For a while, it was just “the home place.”
Boring.
Uninspiring.

One night we said, let’s name her. Not grand, not Downton-style, just something cozy and timeless.

We wanted a name that felt like it had been there forever, whispered through the trees.

The farm will always be Taeda, but the place with muddy boots, late-night porch lights, and baby lullabies? We needed a name.

Naming it made everything feel more real…like a home with a story.

Building a house isn’t a finish line, it’s a journey.

A meaningful, emotional, sometimes messy, deeply grounding journey.

This season has been about building a home and planting roots with Taeda Farms… and learning what it really looks like to choose yourself along the way.
There’s so much more to this story than fits in a caption.

Every Christmas, I try (emphasis on try 😅) to keep our home feeling joyful, not chaotic. And with little kids, it’s so easy to go overboard on gifts without even realizing it.

A few years ago, I started using the “Something You…” gift categories:

Something you want
Something you need
Something you wear
Something you read
Something you do
Something you share
Something for you
Something you learn

It completely changed the way I shop! Everything feels more organized, intentional and just more fun. The kids know what to expect, I don’t accidentally overshop, and gifting feels meaningful instead of overwhelming.

These printable tags make it so easy. Print them at home, tie them onto gifts, and voila!

They’re in the shop now, and they pair perfectly with the ideas I shared in our Amazon storefront if you need inspo for each category.

All the links are in our bio!

Caption👇🏻

For a long time, I thought cozy came from Pinterest. I’d scroll, save all the ideas, and feel weirdly productive like I’d just redesigned the whole house in my head.

Then I’d look up, realize nothing had changed, and the kids still needed dinner.

Now, I do it differently. When the seasons change, I make our home feel warm by focusing on the real stuff that doesn’t require a cart full of decor or a meltdown in the Hobby Lobby aisle.

I start with the senses:

🍂 Smell: Candles or simmer pots that smell like cinnamon and clove. The kids love “helping,” which usually means spilling cinnamon everywhere.
🎶 Sound: A cozy playlist that slows everyone down and conveniently masks sibling chaos.
🧺 Touch: A heavier blanket here, a soft rug there. Just little things that make the house feel like a hug.

Lighting changes everything. I bring out the warm lamps and twinkle lights that always end up staying till March because honestly, they make me happy.

And then the small rituals like Sunday soup (even from a can), fresh rolls, movie nights with the same blanket everyone fights over, and a bowl of leaves and acorns that somehow count as decor.

It’s never perfect. The dog sheds, the pumpkin WILL ROT, the kids track in mud, but that’s real life.

So skip the Pinterest pressure. Light the candle. String the lights. Simmer something that smells good. The mess is part of the memory!
