You say you want a revolution?
I posted this on my blog earlier this week, and it started an avalanche of inspiration for myself and friends. (Seriously, I thought I was the only one who couldn’t get it together. Does everyone think that?) So we’re starting a homemaking revolution – turning our houses into homes, making mundane days magical. Learning the real definition of nurture, and the skills of taking care of a household. And hopefully playing and laughing a lot along the way.
So without further ado:
THE POST THAT STARTED IT ALL
Don’t you just love new beginnings? New Years, a birthday, a new school year, even the start of a new month – all arbitrary but seemingly fitting times to introduce change. I’ve been feeling the itch to shake things up for a little while now. Our days have been kind of unfocused, unproductive, frustrating. I knew change was needed, but didn’t quite know what kind.
At the same time, I’ve been putting off figuring out what we’re doing for our little co-op preschool this year. Yesterday I decided to buckle down and try to get a grip on it. As I did, a vision started to emerge, books started filling up my Amazon cart, websites linked. (Can websites link? Whatever.)
Anyway. I’ve caught a glimpse of the life I want us to have, and I’m using the beginning of this school year to mark the start of the change. It’s not concrete in my mind yet, I still have reading to do to solidify concepts and practice from inspiration, but I’m excited about it.
If you’re interested in what our life will look like this fall, here’s a little virtual inspiration wall:
I’m excited to see it take shape- and excited for the joy these changes will hopefully bring. I’ll let you know what happens as we go.
