Hi Reader
As we step into the season of gifting, I wanted to share a few things straight from our homestead that might bring joy, creativity, and a touch of simple living to the people you love.
Everything below is made right here at our little Northern Michigan homestead — inspired by everyday life, crafted with intention, and in many cases designed by my kids!
Whether you’re filling stockings, gifting to fellow homesteaders, or looking for something meaningful and handmade, I’ve put together a little collection for you.
🎁 The Happy Cat Craft Toy Box — Designed by My Kids!
This one is extra special.
My kids dreamed it up, sketched it out, and I brought it to life!
A fun, hands-on craft kit for kids (or adults!) to build and create their own cat toys.
It’s playful, adorable, and such a sweet handmade gift with a story behind it.

👩🍳 Junior Cooking Club — Give the Gift of Skills & Memories
The perfect gift for young cooks and families who want to spend more time together in the kitchen.
Each unit includes:
• Step-by-step instruction
• Videos
• Easy recipes with ingredients most families already have
• A curriculum feel that’s fun and educational
This is one of our most loved programs — and the sweetest experience to give.

🧼 Handmade Soap, Salves & Herbal Goods
Stocking stuffers that are natural, nourishing, and made with simple organic ingredients from our homestead.
• The Balm — my rich herbal face moisturizer
• Healing Salves — great for book boos
• Herbal Teas — cozy blend from our garden
• Homestead Soap Bars — gentle + handcrafted
These make beautiful gifts on their own — or bundle a few together for a thoughtful, natural gift set.

Every item supports our small homestead business, fuels our kids’ creativity, and helps us continue to teach, grow food, and share this lifestyle with all of you.
