Our time here at the farmhouse and our shopping the fields has been food for the soul. Thanks for hanging in there with me you guys…I think I’m ready to spend time within these squares again for awhile. ♥️ My surgery has been scheduled for 11/2. #ourjunkstylefarmhouse #lagrangetx #ourcountryhome #livinglifesimply
We leaned into the comfort of our little farmhouse the past 23 days. The vegetable garden was cleaned out and prepped for the spring, the yard was mowed and watered. Weeds were pulled and pumpkin pie was made. Bread was baked and a day didn’t go by that #major wasn’t on the front porch sleeping. I bought junk and got lots of hugging in. I welcomed folks prayers and blessings…and now my heart is full and my soul is prepared to head back to Long Beach tomorrow for my long awaited surgery November 2. We will miss this old girl of ours…she brings us nothing but joy. We saved her…and she continues to save us…season after season after season. Love you old girl… #ourjunkstylefarmhouse #lagrangetexas #mycountryhome #livinglifesimply
Good Sunday morning…my favorite day at the farmhouse. Soon we will sit around this table and share Sunday supper…actually this Sunday and every Sunday we are here…with our longest and dearest friends in La Grange. Living life slowly and with intention…that’s the joy this home of ours has given us. #ourjunkstylefarmhouse #lagrangetexas #ourcountryhome #livinglifesimply
More often than not…you guys ask, “how can you not keep everything?” …and typically I reply, “I’m out here buying for you…that’s what I do?” Well yesterday…I bought this primitive rocking hobby horse for you guys because I knew you’d love it…but… #warehouse and I were half way up the road when I realized that I had to keep it…it was just speaking to my heart in all the right ways…so we turned around…and traveled back down the road and bought the remaining four…each one different but each one better than the other. I can’t wait to share all of them with you tomorrow. #ourjunkstylefarmhouse #lagrangetexas #ourcountryhome #livinglifesimply

Welcoming into our wellness tea collection are the amazing organic tea infusions from @onsundays_ hand-blended here in New Zealand. On Sundays was born out of the desire for a moment of calm. Created in exploration of balance. Among the many nourishing qualities you get from steeped herbs, a cup of tea is more than that. It’s a reminder to slow down and take a deep breath. Allow yourself to savour the present moment and to acknowledge how you feel. Comes in 2 sizes in an oh-so-cute reusuable tin! They are so wonderful you will want to try them all! . . . . . #livinglifesimply #balance #kowhaiandco #livewellbewell #healthwellness #slowlife #theartofslowliving #slowliving #mindfulness #breathe #relax #calm #unwind #SelfCare #Wellness #Teas #SelfCareRituals #MindfulMoments #NourishYourSoul #DailySelfCare #WellnessRituals #nurturingrituals #tealover #teaandme #teablending #teabliss #detox #herbs #herbalremedies #teaceremonyritual

Tea was in the oven. I was washing up the chopping board, knife and other bits that had accumulated during the day. When suddenly the kitchen was illuminated by sunlight…. “Ooooh” I said, looking up out of the window. The colours were fantastic! The treetops kissed with the evening sun. The field had turned fluorescent yellow, and the rest was a moody grey. The contrast between light and dark was stunning. Then I realised it was raining…. Leaning forward over the sink getting closer to the window, I said to myself, “I bet they’ll be a rainbow….” “There is a rainbow!” And it was a doubler! #myviewrightnow #kitchenwindowview #winter #wintermagic #rainbow #tonight #theselittlemoments #simpleliving #livinglifesimply #appreciatingthelittlethings #nature #trees #lightanddark #magestic #quietbeauty #adayinthelife #thesecolours

Summer calls for carefree days at the beach, long evenings spent outdoors, and a break from day-to-day responsibilities. Holidays, and summers in general, are about taking a step back from our professional personas or daily routines and trying new things, with an open mind and a hefty amount of curiosity. Those new experiences are an invaluable opportunity to learn something new about yourself. Podcasts - filled with a wealth of information, from educational information on any industry you might be interested in, to humorous chats between friends and life-changing interviews by some of the world’s greatest thinkers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. Summer Reads - Summer and time away from work offers a great opportunity to disconnect from technology, even for a little bit, and become more mindful of the present moment. Reading a good book can be a fast track to mindfulness as it immerses you into another world and helps quiet down the noise in your head, while at the same time educating and inspiring you. Journaling - Nothing can make you feel more balanced than getting out of your head and putting your thoughts and emotions on paper. This type of journaling practice is a tool that is necessary in day-to-day life, but during the summer, when life gets a bit slower, you can spend a little extra time with yourself to write about your current life circumstances, your dreams, worries, and anything else that pops to your head. Get Active - Enjoy new adventures and experiences. Push yourself to try new activities and embrace the playful, childlike spirit that’s inside all of us. Practice Mindfulness - As you slow down and detach from work commitments in the summer, you’ll naturally feel more in touch with your true, most conscious self and better able to listen to that wise, inner voice that often gets drowned out by busy lifestyles and social obligations. ENJOY! 🤍 . . . . . #family #getaway #summer #vacay #beach #travel #vacation #ocean #holiday #sea #sun #sand #thankful #newzealand #kowhaiandco #livinglifesimply #balance #livewellbewell #healthisyourwealth #healthwellness #breathe #relax #positivevibes #life #happiness

Also just some random pictures over the last couple months as well as my Christmas presents from my parents and brother. Anyways, hope everyone is well. Also I’m 25 now 😎 #livinglifesimply

It's okay to leave behind things not meant for you without knowing where you are headed next. Sometimes, you just have to take the leap and know that when you do leave, you are making room for what 𝘪𝘴 meant for you to arrive. And yes, it might be incredibly scary and it might be really difficult. But, when you stay true to who you are and leave what isn't meant for you, you open yourself up to possibility. You open yourself up to who you truly are. ~ 𝙽𝚒𝚔𝚔𝚒 𝙱𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚜 | 𝚆𝚊𝚕𝚔 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙴𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚑 . . . . .
'Go within every day and find your inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out.' ~ Katherine Dunham . . . . . . . . The benefits of candles for mental health are vast and varied.

✨🌱 Introducing Eatwell Botanics, where simplicity meets purity. Our line of skincare celebrates nature's gifts, offering products made with ingredients from our farm. Embrace the pure essence of nature with us! #EatwellBotanics #PureAndSimple #livinglifesimply
🌱✨ Harnessing the power of nature, I developed products that not only pamper the skin but also double up – my hydrating mist and nourishing oil work wonders on my hair! #FarmToFace #MultiFunctional #LivingLifeSimply
🌱✨ Calendula, harvested and macerated, became a key ingredient in our facial products. With simplicity in mind, I created a range: cleanser, hydrating mist, nourishing oil, and even a natural deodorant. 🌼 #LivingLifeSimply #NaturalSkincare #Simplicity
🌱✨ Fate intervened when I met Nigel, an organic farmer. Together, we explored aromatic botanicals. From lavender to rose geranium, we distilled these beauties into heavenly essential oils and hydrosols. 🌹 #AromaticBotanics #OrganicFarmLife #LivingLifeSimply
🌱✨My love for food and cooking guided me to a health food store job, introducing me to the world of organics. But finding truly natural skincare was a challenge. 🌱 #NaturalLiving #LivingLifeSimply #lavender
🌱✨ Embracing childhood memories: cooking and sensitive skin. These two passions led me to where I am today - running an organic farm in Northern California, and creating Eatwell Botanics. 🍃 #ChildhoodMemories #OrganicFarming #LivingLifeSimply
Health Goals 🌱💚🍃 Happy weekend everyone 😊 🍃 The fig debate - are figs vegan ... ?🤔 ... do you eat figs? 🍃 Since being vegan for over 8 years now, I stopped eating figs due to 'wasps get trapped in the fruit and die whilst pollinating' (actually they are technically not a fruit - they are inflorescence; a cluster of a group of flowers) Having moved to Spain recently, I looked into this more, as I saw fresh figs in the organic farm shop I go to, and was curious. Having read more, it turns out not all fig varieties are pollinated by wasps, just need to check which type are 👍 (tbh I'm still a bit torn 🤷♀️) 🍃 Here are some of my organic juicy figs - they taste so 'jammy'. They are also very good for you! 🍃 Some of the health benefits: Eye health, bone health, electrolyte balance, brain and gut health ...

In the relentless rhythm of our busy lives, finding moments to pause and take time out becomes essential for our well-being and growth. Taking a step back and creating a soothing space for yourself is necessary. Consider embracing simple yet powerful tools like candles, journals, and herbal tea to cultivate a pause that rejuvenates your spirit: ✨ 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗟𝗘𝗦 : Lighting a candle can transform your environment instantly. The gentle flicker of the flame creates an ambiance of warmth and calm. As you watch the flame dance, let go of the day's stresses and allow yourself to be present in the moment. ✨ 𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗦 : A journal becomes a canvas for your thoughts, dreams, and reflections. Take a pause from the chaos to put pen to paper. Write about your feelings, aspirations, or simply jot down the day's events. This practice not only provides an outlet for emotions but also offers clarity and perspective. ✨ 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗕𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗘𝗔 : Sipping on a cup of herbal tea is a ritual of self-care. As you cradle the warm cup in your hands and inhale the soothing aroma, feel the tension melt away. Use this time to sip slowly, embracing the flavors and embracing serenity. . . . . . . . #health #wellbeing #healthyliving #selfcare #healthylifestyle #mindfulness #mentalhealth #healthandwellness #healthy #selflove #healing #kowhaiandco #anxietea #journals #journaling #selfdiscovery #growthmindset #mindsetmatters #mindset #motivation #breathe #holistic #organic #emotionalwellbeing #livinglifesimply #balance #space #nourishyourbody #restore #stressrelief

Highlights of this past week 1. I really loved my outfit. It was a bit out of my comfort zone, but I felt pretty cute in it. 2. My best friend @emerickha came home to visit for a bit!!! 3. Went to the new startbucks in down and got my all-time favorite sandwich 4. Went to @brantsappleorchard on their 2nd day of being open for the season. And of course, I got their apple cider donuts. 5. Miss Luna giving Jer cuddles and never knowing what personal space is lol 6. Lastly, I wasn't feeling very well, so Jer thought it would be nice to get some fresh air and walk around a bit, so we went to a few of the local covered bridges in town. Overall, it was a nice week. #highlightsofmyweek #localadventures #brantsappleorchard #ootd #livinglifesimply

S....L....O....W it all down. Pause from your full calendar and long task list. Take a moment – or ten – to simply be. To remind yourself that this is life, right here and right now. To reacquaint yourself with your pulsing heart and your incredible body that allow you to do all that you do. To remember that life is precious and fragile and should be lived in love. To remind yourself that whatever is happening or wherever you find yourself in your journey, it is all as it is supposed to be.’ Walk the Earth – Nikki Banas . . . . . #kowhaiandco #metime #slowliving #breathe #relax #stress #calm #slowlife #enjoy #mindful #rest #reset #reconnection #reflect #pause #refocus #reframing #regroup #relaxationresponse #inspiration #peace #relaxationtechnique #relaxthemind #simplicity #wellness #livinglifesimply #balance #space #happiness #mentalhealth

#bentleyalan s school year transformation! Bentley did a homeschool co-op this year, which was really great! I’d been wanting the kids to try something like this for a while now. This program was a great fit for Bentley this year! . . . #homeschooling #unschooling #learningallthetime #eclectichomeschoolers #secularlearning #charlottemasonliving #learningthroughplay #livinglifesimply #charlottemasoneducation #unschoolinglife #lifeofahomeschoolmom #teachingthewildlings #inspiredliving #lifelonglearners #homeeducator #homeschooldays #homeschoolcollective #wildandfreechildren #welleducatedheart #Familyinthewoodstx #mommatothreewildlings
Third grade transformation!! #averyarlo tried public school this year. We felt it was the best choice for him, and he wanted to try it! He has grown so much and doing public school was definitely what he needed this year. . . As a family who is always committed to doing what’s best for each individual kid, we felt like Avery needed this experience and I’m truly grateful for his lovely teacher and all the amazing staff at his school. They made his public school journey a blast and a joy! . . #homeschooling #unschooling #learningallthetime #eclectichomeschoolers #secularlearning #charlottemasonliving #learningthroughplay #livinglifesimply #charlottemasoneducation #unschoolinglife #lifeofahomeschoolmom #teachingthewildlings #inspiredliving #lifelonglearners #homeeducator #homeschooldays #homeschoolcollective #wildandfreechildren #welleducatedheart #Familyinthewoodstx #mommatothreewildlings

“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the whole earth revolves — slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment.

Ahhhh Sundays... The best day right?.. Let your body sleep in if you want, no phonecalls to make or answer, actually - just turn it off. No emails, no deadlines, just that lazy autumn light playing through the trees and making long shadows of leaves that you can look at a bit longer and take in the changing of the seasons without feeling you need to do something or be somewhere. Sundays.... the day you actually get to sit down, fix that broken cupboard, plant those seeds for your winter garden in the autumn sun, go for a leisurely stroll in the park in the fresh air, and give yourself some time to just 'be'. However you choose to spend your Sunday, remember that the most important thing is to do something that brings you joy and helps you unwind. How will you spend today!? What have you got planned? Or not-planned for that matter 😉 ... . . . . . #mindfulness #relax #breathe #wellness #chill #meditate #stretch #meditation #calm #nutrition #relaxing #enjoy #wellbeing #space #healthyliving #holidays #holistic #organic #selfcare #balance #bed #emotionalwellbeing #wellbeingwarrior #holisticwellbeing #rest #livinglifesimply #sleep #sleeping #kowhaiandco
