Simple ingredients. Cozy scent. Everyday comfort. 🤍

Riverside Homestead Vanilla Lip Balm is handcrafted with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, castor oil, beeswax, vanilla extract, and vitamin E to help keep lips soft, smooth, and protected.

The scent? Warm, rich vanilla - like homemade baking in the kitchen and comfort wrapped into one little tube!

Crafted by hand, rooted in home. 🌿

There’s something deeply satisfying about pulling a fresh loaf of sourdough from the oven. The crackling crust, the soft chewy center, the slow process of mixing, folding, waiting, and trusting the dough to do its thing.

Homestead life has a way of teaching patience like that. Not everything is instant. Some of the best things take time, care, and a little faith along the way.

Today’s bake came out beautifully rustic with that golden crust and airy texture that makes homemade bread feel like pure comfort. And honestly? The smell alone is worth the effort.

Not every beautiful thing starts polished.

Sourdough begins here… with a shaggy, sticky, uneven mess of flour and water that honestly doesn’t look like much at all. But with time, patience, stretching, folding, and rest, it transforms into something incredible.

There’s probably a life lesson hidden in that somewhere.
Riverside Homestead was built on moments like this - flour on the counter, hands in the dough, slowing down long enough to create something nourishing from scratch. The messy middle is part of the process. 🌾🍞

🌿🌹 Rooted in Ritual: Rose & Tulsi Collection 🌹🌿

Some plants don’t just support the body… they create a moment. That’s exactly what I'm crafting with the newest blends on the homestead!

✨ Rose Petal Soaps + Lotion
Made to gently nourish and soften the skin, rose brings hydration, calm, and a natural glow. This is everyday skincare that feels like a quiet act of care - simple, soothing, and rooted in intention.

✨ Tulsi & Rose Petal Tea
A grounding, heart-centered blend. Tulsi (holy basil) supports the body in times of stress, while rose petals soften and uplift- creating a tea that feels both calming and restoring.
This is more than self-care, it's a return to yourself!

A deep breath you didn’t realize you needed! Everything I make is crafted by hand, in small batches, with ingredients chosen for both their purpose and their energy! 💗

Last night gave us something special ✨

Beltane fire energy met the fullness of the moon… and everything felt just a little more alive!

This photo was taken right from our back deck - one of those quiet moments where the world slows down just enough to notice the beauty that’s always been there.

Beltane is a celebration of growth, fertility, passion, and stepping fully into the light. And paired with a full moon? It feels like a gentle nudge (or maybe a firm push) to release what’s been heavy and make space for what wants to bloom.
Here on the homestead, we’re leaning into that energy - tending what matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and trusting the season we’re in 🌿

Grateful for simple moments like this… and for the eyes that captured it. 💗

There’s something so special about this time of year - the girls are coming back into laying season, and our egg cartons are finally starting to fill up again!!🥚

After the slower winter months, it always feels like a little sign that spring is truly here. Longer days, more sunshine, and happy hens mean fresh eggs are making their way back to the kitchen!

I never get tired of the beautiful variety they give us - soft browns, creamy tans, and those lovely blue-green eggs mixed in. One of the simple joys of homestead life! The girls are back in business, and I couldn’t be happier. 🌿✨

Yesterday was my husband's birthday. He's been going through it with his back injuries, so he hasn't felt much like celebrating. But, I still made him his favorite carrot cake from scratch! It turned out great! 💚

Many of you know my daughter Jasmine is an INCREDIBLE writer. She has a blog where she posts her thoughts and it's a great read! But, one of her absolutely favorite hobbies is photography. We live by the cycles of the moon here and I love that she was able to catch the beautiful full moon last night. The fact that she was able to utilize both her photography AND her writing to reflect on this moon made for such a proud mom moment! 💚
