Meadow Lake Homestead

Welcome to Meadow Lake.

I’ve been working on something new, and I’m so excited to finally share it.

The Meadow Lake Mercantile Collection is a little world inspired by the places, seasons, and simple things that feel like home. Nine places, from the Book Co. and General Store to the Pumpkin Patch and Christmas Tree Farm, each with its own story and personality.

Nine places. One little town. A whole lot of Meadow Lake.

Which one would you visit first?

A small harvest today, but I'll take it.
The tomatoes are finally starting to produce, the beans are coming in, and there are lots more little green tomatoes waiting on the vine.

There has been a lot happening behind the scenes here at Meadow Lake Homestead.

Sometimes life asks us to slow down and tend to the things that matter most. This has been one of those seasons.

While some parts of Meadow Lake Homestead have been quieter than I expected, others have continued to grow.

The garden has become one of my favorite classrooms, teaching patience, flexibility, and the joy of celebrating small harvests.

Book 4 is in its final editing stages, and I'm excited to be getting closer to sharing another Millie adventure.

I also finally gave the website a much-needed refresh and updated my inventory, including some of my favorite soaps, freshies, and other goodies.

One thing this season has reminded me is that growth doesn't always look the way we expect.

Sometimes it looks like finishing a manuscript.

Sometimes it looks like a basket of vegetables that started as tiny seeds.

Sometimes it simply looks like choosing to keep showing up.

Thank you for continuing to be part of this little corner of the internet. I'm looking forward to sharing more of the books, the garden, the handmade things, and the everyday moments that inspired Meadow Lake Homestead in the first place.

Here's to slow growth, new chapters, and finding beauty in ordinary days. 🌿

It’s finally here.

The Goat Who Knew, book three in the Millie Makes Magic series, is now available.

This story has lived quietly in our home for a long time through early mornings, late nights, rewrites, illustrations, formatting, and so many small details that slowly became something whole.

At its heart, this book is about learning to trust quiet instincts, finding courage in uncertainty, and realizing that not everyone communicates or understands the world in the same way. It’s a gentle mystery wrapped in warmth, wonder, and a little homestead magic.

There’s also a special bonus tucked inside, along with a small glimpse of what’s coming next in book four.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged this series, shared it, read it with your children, or simply followed along as these stories came to life. It means more than I can explain.

Millie, Lila, and Juniper are ready for new readers now.

You can find the book here: https://meadowlakehomestead.com/product/millie-makes-magic-the-goat-who-knew/

Or major retailers such as Amazon or Barnes&Noble

A small glimpse of what’s coming next.

Book three in the Millie Makes Magic series is nearly ready, and this moment has been sitting at the heart of it.

A gentle mystery. A quiet kind of courage. Learning to trust what you sense, even when you can’t fully explain it yet.

This story leans into noticing. Into slowing down enough to see what others might miss.

Just a few more days until it’s ready to be held in someone else’s hands.

I absolutely love spring!

Baby lilac bushes in bloom.
Ducks waddling around the property.
And the crisp mornings with sunshine peeking through.

To me spring means renewal, fresh starts, and optimism.

This screen doesn’t really show it.

All these pages and all these words don't quite capture the time, the starts and stops, the rewriting, the sitting with a story until it feels right.

Book three in the Millie Makes Magic series is almost ready.

The hard part is done. Now it’s just formatting, finalizing, and sending it out into the world.

This one holds a gentle mystery. Trusting your instincts. Courage in uncertainty. Learning to pay attention, to notice, to understand each other a little better.

There’s a small bonus tucked in too, and a quiet peek at what’s coming next.

Just a few more days.
