🎉 You're Invited! 🎉

Join us for a very special Friday Night LIVE with Lauren & Joel this Friday, August 7th at 8:00 PM Central!

This week we're celebrating our dear friend Tammy's Birthday! 🥳 After a challenging week, we'd love to surround her with laughter, love, and encouragement—and we hope you'll help us make it a birthday she'll never forget!

We'll also have special guests, plenty of laughs, a few surprises, and all the fun that makes Friday nights feel like family.

So grab your favorite snack, pull up a chair, and come spend the evening with us. Whether you've been with us for years or are joining for the very first time, there's always room for one more around our virtual table.

❤️ Let's fill the chat with birthday wishes, kindness, and smiles!

📅 Friday, August 7
🕗 8:00 PM Central Time

We can't wait to see you there!

I have a feeling Tammy is going to feel incredibly loved when she sees everyone showing up just for her. That's a beautiful thing to be part of. ❤️🎂🎉

We want to make up for having to cancel Friday Night's live by going LIVE on SATURDAY at 7PM Central Time. The coffee is on ice, the shenanigans are afoot, and we all need some laughter!

New or old, come join us, Lauren and Joel, for some good old down home knee slappin' fun and fellowship! See you then.

Sorry everyone! We need to cancel tonight. Joel has to return to work tomorrow (Saturday) to finish up inventory (he strongly dislikes inventory, so an extra prayer or 10 would be appreciated!) We will try to reschedule for tomorrow at some point. Thanks!!

🤠 Friday Night LIVE is BACK!

The coffee's iced , the dogs are smiling, the goats are probably up to something, and we're saving you a seat!

Come spend the evening with Lauren & Joel for laughs, stories, homesteading, and whatever hilarious detour the conversation decides to take. Around here, strangers don't stay strangers for long...

Pull up a chair... you're family here. FRIDAYS at 8PM, Central Time ❤️

👀 We've been quietly working on something completely new...

What started as one little idea has quickly turned into a project that has us grinning from ear to ear! We honestly can't wait to share it with you.

Think...
🎨 Beautiful colors.
☀️ Sunlight.
❤️ Handmade.
🏡 Home.

And the best part?

You don't need to be an artist to create something beautiful.

We still have a few finishing touches before we pull back the curtain, but trust us...

✨ This one is going to be FUN!

Stay tuned... we have a feeling you're going to want to make one too!

Making It Home

Over the past few days, we've become aware that some untrue statements have been shared about us and about conversations we supposedly had regarding other creators.

We want to be very clear: if we have something to say to someone, we believe in speaking directly, respectfully, and honestly. We have no desire to tear down other creators or participate in gossip.

If you've heard something that concerns you about us, we simply ask that you reach out and talk to us. We'd much rather have an honest conversation than let misunderstandings grow.

Our focus has always been the same: encouraging others, sharing our homestead journey, building stronger families, and treating people with kindness.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, prayed for us, and chosen to know us by our actions rather than by rumors. We truly appreciate you.

We're going to keep doing what we've always done—loving the Lord, loving people, and making the best content we can.

With gratitude,

Lauren & Joel
