Peaceful Cottage New Year Traditions
As the final hours of this year slip quietly away, I’m reflecting on the rhythms that shaped our days… the simple joys, the lessons learned, and the grace that carried us through.
As you probably know, Blue Willow Cottage is more than a home to us. It’s a reflection of the life we’re building. Our life is peaceful, intentional, faith-filled, and rooted in wellness.
2025 reminded me that true abundance isn’t found in busyness or perfection.
It is found in the quiet moments. These include family gathered around the table, prayers whispered in the early morning light, and laughter echoing through these walls. It’s choosing presence over hurry, gratitude over comparison, and faith over fear.
We have raised our son with intention and grace. We have created a home that nourishes the body and soul. My husband, Michael, and I juggle work-from-home life while nurturing our hearts.
We want you to know, this space is for you.
Here, we celebrate clean living, natural wellness, and wholesome nutrition, all anchored in Christ-centered living.
All are welcome!

🙏 Faith at the Center
The Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation of my life and this blog. Every recipe, every reflection, and every word shared here is offered with the prayer that it glorifies God.
My heart’s desire is to be transformed into His image. I also want to motivate women to create homes. These homes should feel His presence in every rhythm of the day.
