Welcome!

It's hard to neatly define what we intend to do here on day one.
We imagine there will be a lot of evolving taking place
and we're as curious as you are to see what this grows into.
Here's what we know at the outset...

"Home is the definition of God; a place of infinite power"
Emily Dickinson

We believe that. We also believe that it takes a mighty effort to make it so.
We believe in making the effort.


We also believe in:
mindful parenting
whole foods
kindness
creative play (for children)
creative outlets (for their parents)
graceful living
great books
home making
finding your passion
keeping your sparkle
"Living the life you've imagined" (a la Henry David Thoreau)

We also believe in authenticity. And sustainability. We're not above scrambled eggs for dinner. Or going to the grocery store in yesterday's make-up. We believe in using what you have and being who you are. We believe there's more than one right way to do most things. We believe in practicality over frivolity, and that even the simplest life can be beautiful.

Lastly, we believe in evolution - that getting from where we are to what we imagine is a process.
