I don’t know if it was my son driving his paw patrol through the bowl of flour or what but these muffins are some of the best pumpkin muffins i’ve ever made. I know, I know I say that about all the muffins I make.. (see blueberry muffins here) but i’m not joking around. They…

Pretty Kitchen Finds for Under Thirty Dollars
It all started with a ceramic egg holder that popped up in my my Instagram feed before I fell into a rabbit hole of all the cute kitchen goods on the internet right now. Most shopping experiences lately have been lack luster and I find myself still roaming online during my free time. I have…
Pumpkin Focaccia Bread with Spicy Cheddar Topping
I read the other day that there could potentially be a pumpkin puree shortage this year. I shouldn’t be surprised it is 2020 after all. Maybe this is the time in my life when I teach myself to whip up my own pumpkin puree? hmmmm I smell a weekend activity. An activity… Kind of like…
Questions and Answers About Our Farm
I drove by our old house earlier this week and I can’t believe it’s been almost 7 years since we’ve moved to the farm. It’s been a true whirlwind as we’ve added fruit trees, gardens, sheep, chickens and a kid. It feels like just yesterday and as we are getting ready to overhaul the house…
Comfy and Cozy Loungewear at The Found Cottage
The leaves are starting to turn here already and as much as I’m fighting it I’m slowly giving way to accepting fall is here/coming. Typically I would be jumping up and down with pumpkins on my porch and a PSL in my hand but I’m anxious about pushing the seasons along this year. Slow and…
Homemade Tomato Ketchup Recipe
Allow me a moment to share the saga of this ketchup. I had this post and recipe all typed up and ready to go last week and when I hit “publish” it was gone. Disappeared and nowhere to be found. I needed to take a step back from my rage and disbelief and now here…
Marinated Tomatoes with Goat Cheese
I will always remember the night that Joe and I spent in Italy under the starts of an old patio with 4 other strangers and a chef enjoying hot bread and pasta that we had just prepared all together from our cooking class. It was one of those nights you see in a movie. Laughing…
Q & A Pentwater Cottage The Little House
Otto is obsessed with the “little house” in Pentwater and begs to go back every time I pick him up from daycare. When Joe and I bought this place back in 2012 it was nothing to brag about. It had been a home to mice and who knows what else, electrical cords taped together and…
Warehouse 55 Expansion and Grand Opening
When my friend Mark said that he was expanding his store, Warehouse 55 you know I had to make the 3 hour road trip to have some solo shopping time in the new Warehouse 55 Expansion. I first visited the store back when they first opened and found so many beautiful and amazing things for…
New Fall Arrivals at The Found Cottage
The new fall arrivals are starting to tickle into The Found Cottage and I’m loving all of the new fun sweaters we’ve been getting in. I buy all of the clothing and jewelry for the store and I make it my mission to find good quality and stylish finds at a reasonable price. Almost all…
remodel the old farmhouse plans
I am not one of those people that changes things up on a regular basis. I agonize over putting a hole in the wall and getting things just right and then leaving it that way for years and years. I finally on Sunday, on a whim, took down the gallery wall that was in the…
Peach and Plum Galette
We had a casual outdoor girls night on the farm a few weeks ago and it was more needed than I could have ever realized. We popped open a couple bottles of wine that Pomelo Wines sent to me for sampling and I made a very simple dish of marinated tomatoes and a peach and…
