Welcome to Country Proud Living, where nurturing spaces empower your life and every day feels a little more like home.  
Sometimes the most meaningful life lessons don’t come from big moments — they come from flour-dusted counters, familiar traditions, and slowing down long enough to notice what truly matters.

In this cozy bonus episode, LoriLynn shares 14 gentle life lessons inspired by baking sugar cookies, reminding us that starting before you’re ready creates clarity, rest is essential, perfection isn’t the goal, and sharing what you create is where joy multiplies.

This episode is an invitation to simplify, soften, and live your life with more intention — especially during the Christmas season.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why tradition is one of the most nurturing elements in home and life
• How simplicity and basics create the strongest foundation
• The importance of rest, margin, and not rolling your life too thin
• Why perfection steals joy — and presence creates it
• How sharing what you create multiplies meaning
