My Cottage Year membership

Make an ordinary week feel seasonal.

Gentle weekly maps turn the slow, rooted life you keep saving into small kitchen, garden, herbal, and home practices you can actually live.

No cottage, acreage, rigid routine, or perfect pantry required.

The Cottage Year seasonal home life

This week

Open the windows before breakfast.

A gentler promise

Guidance without turning home into another job.

01

Small enough for real life

Every practice is chosen to fit around work, children, appointments, and low-energy days.

02

Seasonal, never perfectionist

Use what is growing, available, or already in the cupboard. There is no catching up.

03

Made by a person, lived first

A short personal video shares how the week looked in an actual home—not a staged fantasy.

Inside each cottage map

One week, thoughtfully gathered for you.

Open the map, choose what suits the week, and leave the rest. The method creates rhythm without demanding a schedule.

The weekly rhythm

Seven flexible days, anchored by five attainable practices.

  • Cook one simple thing that belongs to the season
  • Notice or tend something growing nearby
  • Gather, steep, or learn one useful herb
  • Care for one small corner of home
  • Mark the week with ritual, folklore, or reflection

Keep it close

Printable journal pages

A quiet place to choose your practices, make notes, and remember what the season felt like.

From the actual week

A personal field note

A brief video offers companionship and context—what worked, what shifted, and what was left undone.
