Coop Life: Capturing the Heart of Simple Living

There’s something deeply special about the rhythms of simple living—where days begin with the cluck of chickens and end with muddy boots by the back door. That everyday magic is what inspired my newest collection: Coop Life, a digital scrapbook kit that celebrates homestead charm, family roots, and the lovable chaos of life with chickens.

Whether you raise backyard hens, dream of a small farm, or just love the cozy aesthetic of country living, this collection is designed to bring your stories to life.

What’s Inside the Coop?

This collection is full of rich textures, natural colors, and real-life homestead moments:

Adorable, playful chickens—from broody hens to cheeky chicks getting into mischief
Illustrated farm elements—coops, eggs, feed sacks, garden flowers, and rustic touches
Earthy patterned papers—farmhouse plaids, vintage florals, and more
Heartfelt word art—celebrating simple joys like “basking in the sunshine,” “homegrown happiness” and “rooted in love”
Printable journaling cards—perfect for pocket pages or hybrid albums, featuring sentiments about everyday living and the deep roots of family

Ideas to Inspire Your Coop Life Projects

Need a little spark to get started? Here are a few ideas to bring this kit to life:

For the Homesteaders (and Dreamers):

Document your homestead routines—daily egg collecting, feeding the flock, tending the garden
Tell chicken tales—share the antics of your funniest hen or the story behind your rooster’s name
Create a memory page for your coop crew—just like family, each bird has a personality worth remembering
Make a pocket-style spread—using the printable journaling cards to reflect on simple pleasures and seasonal rhythms
Craft a gratitude layout—highlighting how living close to nature brings peace, joy, and purpose

For Everyday Family Life:

Capture backyard fun—from spring picnics to kids chasing bubbles or playing in the dirt
Celebrate cozy moments at home—pajama mornings, breakfast around the table, or baking something sweet
Make a “simple joys” page—focusing on the little things that make your home feel full of love
Highlight daily routines—school mornings, grocery runs, or a quiet moment with your pet
Tell the story of your nest—how your home (whether apartment or farmhouse) supports your family’s everyday rhythm

A Love Letter to the Simple Life

Coop Life is more than just a scrapbook kit—it’s a tribute to the quiet beauty of rural living, the laughter chickens bring, and the deep connection we feel to our little patch of land. Whether your coop is full or still just a dream, I hope this collection helps you tell the stories that matter most.

Let your everyday life take center stage—messy, muddy, meaningful—and let Coop Life help you celebrate every moment.
