I’ve always wanted to raise a family. And now that my son Nathan (10 months) is here, I’m focused on creating our family home. By creating a family home I mean the ongoing process of creating a warm, comfortable space where we can relax and feel safe, enjoy one another’s company and foster our son’s growth and development.
Our home has a rhythm and flow, with changing decorations and activities that celebrate the seasons and seasonal meals that take advantage of homegrown and local, fresh ingredients when possible. My husband is an excellent cook, and from him I draw inspiration to plan interesting and [usually] healthy meals for our family.
I also love to knit and create warm things for my family to wear, in addition to making seasonal crafts and decorations inspired by nature that warm up our home and prove we actually live here.

What a cute little boy! He is adorable! We have a one year old with a little girl due in six weeks. Right now we are living in an apartment but are looking to move into a house and I want what you seem to be describing. There are some houses that you walk into that seem so empty and then there are places that you can call a home. I look forward to seeing how you decorate and create warmth for your home. I might pick up a few tips too!

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through Ginny's Yarn Along, and your family portrait caught my eye. Your Nathan and my Julia share a birthday—she was born the day before Thanksgiving in 2008, so her first birthday was the day your son was born.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family & a lovely blog—I can't wait to read more! xoxo
