SAPPY POST 🤭🤎

Tomorrow morning will be here before you know it, and I’m already thinking about a delicious cup of coffee from Ron’s Beans. While I’m not allowed to sell beverages, I always love offering a complimentary cup of coffee during stand openings ☕️

I’ll be open tomorrow from 9am-12pm, Ron’s Beans Coffee brewed and I’d love to see you!

Now let’s talk about the new ✨Golden Hour Cookie✨ I named it after my favorite time of day here at our home, when the setting sun lights up the trees, The Porch Stand, and The Shed Shop in the prettiest golden glow. It felt like the perfect inspo for this tasty cookie ☀️

Golden Hour features a soft sugar cookie loaded with white chocolate chips, stuffed with a WHOLE Golden Oreo, a touch of lemon zest, and finished with a white chocolate drizzle. It’s subtle, sweet, and one of my new favs! 🍋

Come grab some cookies ~ 6 flavors total, check out the new labels (I’m obsessed with the color🩵), and enjoy what looks to be a beautiful day!!

Thank you to everyone who has placed an order, sent a message, or plans to stop by. Every purchase helps move The Local Co Shed Shop project forward, & I TRULY couldn’t do it without you. When I look at the shed, I don’t just see some walls & how cute it is… I see the support of my amazing Local Co Community.

Open 9:00-12:00

One Last Porch Stand Opening 🤎

It’s hard to believe, but next Saturday, June 13th, will be the FINAL Local Co Porch Stand opening!

What started as a simple dream on our front porch quickly became so much more. I still remember opening day last year, wondering if anyone would show up. What happened instead was something I’ll never forget. Friends told friends, families spread the word, and our driveway filled with our community.

Over the last year, I’ve spent countless hours testing recipes, baking, dreaming, and building. My family has worked right alongside me to help make every opening possible & all my dreams come true. Seeing The Local Co become part of your family gatherings, celebrations, and special moments has been one of the greatest gifts.

While this chapter is coming to a close, a new one is just beginning. The porch stand may be saying goodbye, but it’s not going to far away 😏 it’ll be getting a new home inside the Shed Shop! Many of you know that most opening days complimentary coffee is served. I’m thinking the stand will be a perfect new place for a complimentary beverage bar in the Shed ✨☕️

And speaking of The Local Co Shed Shop we officially have a GRAND OPENING date on the calendar, and we’ll be sharing it very soon 🥳

For now, let’s make this final porch stand opening the biggest and best one yet.

🍪 June 13th
📍 5703 East P Ave, Kalamazoo, MI 49048
⏰ 9 AM – 12 PM

Bring a friend, tell your family, and come celebrate one final morning on the porch with us. Thank you for being part of this journey. It has meant more than you’ll ever know!

Mother’s Day Giveaway 🤍🍪

This one is for every kind of mama.

The mamas holding sweet babies in their arms.
The mamas holding babies in heaven deep within their hearts.
The women praying and hoping for their turn.
The IVF warriors.
The dog moms, cat moms, and animal-loving mamas.
The family members stepping in with unconditional love.
The dads carrying both roles.
The mother figures.
The nurturers.
The ones quietly loving others like their own.
I’m sure I’m missing so SO many. But I promise in my heart I see you all.

Motherhood doesn’t always look the same, and neither does love.

When I created The Local Co… my dream was never just to sell cookies & sweet treats. It was to create something that felt like home. A place where people feel seen, supported, welcomed, and loved through every season of life.

So this giveaway is simply my way of giving back to the community that continues to support me and each other every single day.

No matter what your journey looks like this Mother’s Day, I want you to know.. you matter here, you belong here, and I’m standing with you through it all 🫶🏻
