Homestead in the Mitten

Cozy coffee chats with Melissa — a Michigan homebody who disappears to a 10-acre up-north cabin every chance she gets. This podcast is part personal journal, part cozy cabin life—no advice, no pressure, just honest reflection. One minute I’m making jewelry at the kitchen table while the German Shepherd snores, the next I’m dodging mosquitoes and chasing cardinals in the quiet woods. Expect soft humor, zero pretense, and whatever I’m obsessing over this week: 🌲 cabin chaos & bonfire nights 🐦 birds at both feeders (suburban and wilderness) 🎨 new jewelry drops 📺 binge-watch confessions ☕ the little moments that actually matter If you like your podcasts like your coffee — warm, real, and just a little messy — grab a mug and come sit with me. New episodes weekly. Our Homestead in the Mitten Links:
