There’s something special about growing a plant that can be used in so many ways around the home. Aloe vera is one of those simple, beautiful plants that quietly earns its place in the kitchen windowsill or garden bed. For generations, families have used aloe for skin care, healing, wellness, and even household remedies — long before products with ingredient lists you can barely pronounce filled store shelves. At Cooper’s Cabin, aloe vera is one of the gentle ingredients I us

Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be expensive to be meaningful. In fact, some of the most memorable things we can give a mother have nothing to do with money at all. Most moms aren’t looking for perfection. They’re looking for: time together thoughtful moments feeling appreciated being seen So this year, I wanted to put together a simple little “cheat sheet” of meaningful ways to bless a special mom in your life — whether that’s your mom, grandmother, wife, friend, or another wom

Some plants ask to be admired. Others ask to be respected. And then there is nettle — a wild, humble herb that does both. Yes… the same stinging nettle many people avoid. But hidden behind that sting is one of the most nourishing plants I know. While I don’t grow nettle at home, I do love to forage it in the wild (always carefully — and always with gloves!) and use it to make teas and tinctures for our home. As someone who personally pays close attention to inflammation, nett

There’s something really special about growing an herb in your garden… and then realizing it can completely transform something as simple as your hair routine. This week, we’re talking about rosemary — one of my absolute favorites. Not only is it beautiful and easy to grow, but it’s also incredibly powerful when it comes to hair and scalp health . Lately, I’ve been making rosemary water at home and incorporating it into my daily routine — and I can honestly say, it’s become

There’s something really special about growing something in your garden and realizing just how powerful it truly is. Right now, I’m in the process of making oregano oil from scratch — something we use in our home for so many different purposes. Oregano might seem like a simple kitchen herb, but once you start using it intentionally, you realize it’s so much more than that. 🌿 Why Oregano Is So Powerful Oregano is known for its strong natural properties that support the body i

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. It’s known to: support relaxation and

Back in January, I started calendula from seed — not knowing just how much I would come to appreciate this simple, cheerful flower. Now, seeing it grow in the garden feels like more than just something pretty. It’s become something purposeful. 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. It’s gentle, effe

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

Three years ago, I wasn’t dreaming of selling all natural products. I was simply trying to make better products for myself and my family. I wanted clean ingredients. Simple formulas. 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. A 2025 Favorite: Nourishing Tallow Face Cream If there was one product that truly stood out in 2025, it was my Nourishing Tallow Face Cream . This little jar became a customer favorite for so

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 —
