There’s something especially calming about stepping into the garden and seeing lavender in bloom. Soft purple tones, the most relaxing scent, and a plant that quietly does so much more than just look pretty. Lavender is one of the herbs I grow the most of, and truly, it finds its way into almost everything I make and use in our home. 🌿 Why Lavender Is So Loved Lavender has been used for generations for its calming and healing properties.

Calendula is one of those plants that has been used for generations, and once you start using it, you understand why. 🌸 What Makes Calendula So Special Calendula is known for its incredible skin-supporting properties.

As I have crept into my 40's, sleep has been more and more evasive. Busy days. Running a business. Raising a family. The endless "To Do List". Late-night thoughts that wouldn’t turn off. But I started noticing how much better I feel — physically, emotionally, spiritually — when I sleep well. So instead of reaching for quick fixes, I decided to go back to the basics. And slowly… they’re working. Here’s what I’m doing and what has truly helped. ☀️ 1. Morning Sunlight Is Non-Neg

Things I felt confident using every day in our home. So, I started experimenting. Learning. Testing. When I began sharing what I made with friends and family, they kept encouraging me: “You should sell this!” That was never my plan. But I prayed about it, stepped out in faith, and Cooper’s Cabin

Getting sick is inconvenient for anyone — but when you’re a homeschooling mom with animals to tend, meals to make, and a home that doesn’t pause, it can feel downright impossible to truly rest. Over the past week, as I’ve been under the weather, I found myself leaning into simple, natural supports and accepting help where I could. It felt worth sharing — not as medical advice, but as encouragement and gentle ideas for other moms walking through the same season. This isn’t abo

Creating a clean home doesn’t have to come at the cost of your health. Many conventional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that linger in the air, settle on surfaces, and quietly impact our bodies—especially children and pets who are more vulnerable due to their size and developing systems. The good news? Non-toxic, natural cleaning is simple, affordable, and incredibly effective. With a few basic ingredients and mindful habits, you can create a home that’s both clean

A new year always feels like an open door — a chance to pause, reflect, and step forward with intention. As we welcome this next chapter, I wanted to take a moment to look back on what made 2025 so special for Cooper’s Cabin, share what’s ahead for 2026, and invite you  into the process.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the endless aisles of skincare products (serums, acids, toners, masks, and things you can’t pronounce), you’re not alone. The truth is: your skin doesn’t need 10 steps — it needs the right  steps. A simple routine made with clean, nourishing ingredients can be just as effective (if not more!) than a complicated lineup of synthetic products. Today, I’m breaking down how to build a complete skincare routine with just three natural products  —
