Intentional Family

Home

Home is where the awesome is, so make your home a haven. Manage the day-to-day with thoughtful organization and easy family recipes. Then get a little creative with do-it-yourself projects, themed birthday parties, and simple sewing tutorials.

Family

My favorite place in all the world is with my husband and three boys in our cozy little home outside Chicago. Here you’ll find some of our personal family stories, posts on motherhood, holidays, and what we’ve learned on our homeschool journey so far.
