I get to travel & collaborate for part of what I do for a living.
•
And it’s such a “perk” of the job! And often is such learning experiences too!
•
It’s a real blessing to do what I do & it’s such an honor to be asked to come out to do work…from interviews and podcasts…teaching classes & being asked to present key note speeches…YouTube content filming…speaking engagements & conventions…it’s all so amazing.
•
I also meet “followers and fans” in real life when I travel. I take advantage of the chance to get off the farm & to stay in a nice hotel…it’s an opportunity to explore this country & to really connect & share with people in real life & to forge friendships and build strong networks.
•
This weekend I flew out to Dallas to meet up with Suzy Young to do some collaborating & filming to share conversations & testimony & to teach & pass along some herbal knowledge.
•
It was amazing to work with an entire film crew and to have assistances and an entire team to help with production.
•
I had my first call sheet and was made to feel so welcomed and comfortable!
•
It was a quick trip and Jason stayed behind to help with the kids, and to run the farm and business.
•
The only part about traveling solo for these gigs- is missing my family. Even being gone for a couple of days can pull on my heart strings as I observe families strolling by at the hotel, or husbands and wives out to dinner, while I eat alone.
•
But it’s also a welcomed reminder that I can do things on my own and I’m independent and strong and able and I wear many hats, and hold many roles I’m this life in addition to only “mother”.
•
Nonetheless- when I got back from my trip- and pulled ip@the driveway after a little whirlwind trip down to one of my favorite states- I was pleased to find my entire family (minus 1) waiting at home for me!
•
Distance and time apart really does have a way of reminding us how much we mean to each other when we reunite again.
•
My oldest- who lives about an hour away- surprised me the most…when she was standing there with everyone else, waiving and flashing that bright smile of hers.
•
It was good to be away. It is also good to be home. 🥰

This little facial spritz came about because some of the ingredients I wanted to pair with our spilanthes and calendula infused castor oil serum (NoTox Botox) simply belong in a water-based formula.
•
And that BLUE? There’s no dye! It comes naturally from GHK-Cu copper peptide.
•
Spilanthes contains naturally occurring spilanthol and is loved in skincare for the temporary smoothing and tightening feel it can give the skin.
•
Hyaluronic acid brings moisture-binding, plumping hydration, while GHK-Cu has been studied for its role in supporting collagen, elastin, skin renewal, and the appearance of aging skin.
•
SPRITZ FIRST → SERUM SECOND.
•
Mist onto clean skin, let that lightweight hydration settle in, then follow with a few drops of the oil-based serum.
•
DIY PRESERVATIVE-FREE SPRITZ:

Makes approx. 4–8 oz depending on how you scale it:

• Distilled water
• Vegetable glycerin or spilanthes-infused glycerin
• Hyaluronic acid
• GHK-Cu copper peptide, used at your supplier’s recommended cosmetic concentration

Mix your glycerin and HA first, incorporate into distilled water and allow it to fully hydrate. Add GHK-Cu and mix well.

Important: Because this DIY version contains water and no broad-spectrum preservative, make a small batch, use sanitized equipment, refrigerate it and use it promptly. Discard at any sign of change or contamination. A product intended for longer storage or sale needs an appropriate preservative system.
•
And then my favorite part…I finally found the perfect use for these little red bottles I’d been saving. I filled them with that gorgeous blue spritz, hand-wrapped each lid in copper wire and finished them with a tiny copper coil.
•
I intentionally didn’t put fixed amounts for the HA or GHK-Cu here because those really do depend on the specific raw materials/concentrations you’re using.

When we focus our marriage on exalting and glorifying God together, our relationship becomes a vehicle through which people can smell the aroma of Christ.
•
It will be a demonstration of the gospel to the world—we will show God’s grace, His compassion, His forgiveness.
•
It starts with being God-centered instead of self-centered. It’s upward and outward instead of being inward.
•
To be more specific, Christian love is self-sacrificing, not self-serving love. Check out Philippians 2:1-4
•
Now, is there companionship that comes along with it? Yes. Is there love and intimacy that comes into the deal? Yes, and I‘m glad for these things!
•
But when we magnify the Lord together we both end up saying, “This isn‘t about us. This is about putting the gospel on display to a watching world.”
•
When we truly understood that purpose, it changed everything.
•
I like how Paul Tripp puts it: “We were made to live upward and outward, but most of us live inward. When we can quit living inward and start living upward and outward, life changes.”
•
When our marriage can be about upward and outward, things change.
•
These two unique aspects of a Christian marriage
—a different purpose and a different love—
are something we cannot manufacture by ourselves.
•
They are impossible apart from the transforming grace of God in our lives.
•
And when we experience this transformation, the world will notice something very different in our relationships. 💕🫶
•
Enjoy your Sunday today and your spouses everyday.
•
Much love 🥰💕🫶

If you’ve never come across a horse brass before, these beautiful brass medallions have roots in old equestrian tradition.
•
Decorative brasses were used to adorn horse harnesses and became especially popular in the 1800s, when working, carriage, and parade horses could be dressed in all sorts of beautiful brass designs.
•
And somewhere along the way, I started collecting them. Of course. 🤣
•
The ones you’re seeing here are from my own private stash… different shapes, symbols, animals and designs I’ve gathered because I just love the history and character behind them.
•
And now I’m bringing a collection of horse brasses to WCF. 🤎
•
These are BIG, substantial pieces — around 4 inches — so they make such a fun statement beyond their traditional equestrian use.
•
Slide one onto a scarf or twilly as an oversized scarf slide.
•
Tie one onto the handle of a canvas or leather bag as a purse charm.
•
Wear one on a ribbon, leather cord or twilly as a statement necklace.
•
Turn one into a keychain or bag tag.
•
Tie one onto a basket, market tote or foraging bag.

Hang them from a peg rail or tack-room hook.
•
Add one to a wreath or collected gallery wall.
•
Or simply collect them for what they are…beautiful little pieces of horse history.
•
I especially love mine tied onto a twilly and added to my cotton canvas and leather horse feed bag.
•
It feels a little western, a little old-world, and just the right amount of crunchy horse girl.
•
Every horse brass in our drop will come with a twilly chosen at random, so you can start styling yours as soon as it arrives. 💕•
Patterns and colors will vary, making each pairing a little bit different.
•
Whether you’re a horse girl, western girl, collector, homesteader, or just someone who loves objects with a story behind them, these are such a fun way to carry an old equestrian tradition into everyday life.
•
Horse Brasses and Twillies will be available on our website during this weekend’s drop! 🥰🫶🙏💕

Ever see those spiky green or brown balls on the ground and think they’re just a nuisance?
•
That’s the sweet gum tree, and these trees are a fascinating bit of folk medicine history.
•
Sweet gum- star gum- red gum trees, there’s many names to call…(Liquidambar styraciflua), produce those prickly seed pods, but inside the tree’s bark and twigs is a resin called “storax” and that resin has been used for centuries for respiratory infections, coughs, and even as a natural antiviral.
•
The compounds in it, acids known as “shikimic acidare”, related to what’s used to make Tamiflu!
•
Now, the way I like to work with it on the farm is to make a sweet gum “glycerite”.
•
it’s basically a shelf-stable herbal extract…think tincture, but the solvent being used is vegetable glycerin, that’s gentle enough for kids and doesn’t need alcohol.
•
I’ll take fresh green sweet gum balls before they harden, smash them a bit to expose the inner material, and pack them in a jar.
•
I add a bit of star anise, a few Ceylon cinnamon sticks, and a bunch of farm raised elderberries…
•
Then I cover them with a mix of food-grade vegetable glycerin.
•
I then let it sit for about 4–6 weeks, shaking it every few days.
•
When it’s ready, strain it out and you’ve got a sweet, resin-rich extract that can be used for soothing coughs and supporting the immune system.
•
Of course, this isn’t a substitute for medical care, but it’s one of those old-time remedies that reminds me how much God’s medicine is growing all around us if we only stop to look.
•
Check out our next reel tomorrow that teaches a step-by-step on how to make the “Nature’s Tamiflu Glycerite” just in time for flu season!
•
Don’t have access to these ingredients, or the time or want to craft it yourself…our Sweet Gum & Oink Tinctures and Glycerites are always available on our website www.wcfmarket.com and during our restocks every other Friday. 🥰🫶🙏
•
Now maybe next time you see those spiky balls, you’ll see medicine instead of a mess in your yard.
•
His medicine is literally falling at your feet- don’t overlook it! ☺️🙏🫶💕
