I take a lot of pictures.

There, I said it.
I take lots of pictures.
Some normal pictures - first day of dance class, Christmas shots, etc.
But then there are these. 


These are the things I want to remember.
How my girl had so much fun playing outside that the snow was stuck to her coat long after we came inside.


That we'd have to bring her mittens inside so they didn't turn into icicles.


That leaves would somehow find their way up through the snow and cling on for the ride.


It's the every day I want to remember.
I want to capture moments that are mundane so that I can know that I enjoyed the ride. 

Yes, the Christmas pictures are cute and all the other "Tessa, look this way" moments but these details matter too. They remind me that I was thankful to wake up every morning with this life I have.

I’m Stephanie, the mind and Momma behind The Heirloom Family. I created this blog as a way to capture the magic of our family and the beauty of every day slow and simple living. I also hope it serves as an inspiration to you as well.

Nestled in our little corner of the Earth in Western New York, I am lucky enough to share my home with my husband and our daughter, along with 4 cheerful cats.

We strive for a wholesome life, one that is slow and steady. I want to breathe it in, this time we have, and I might just be lucky enough to see the magic in it all.

There are so many things in life that I love – nature. crochet. photography. gardening. cooking. faith. honey. reading. sunsets and sunrises. flowers. ballet. enchantment. Dave Matthews Band. the moon. rainbows. babywearing. lavender and sandalwood. celebrations. music. hippie. poetry. love. the forest. romantic history. cats. dreamcatchers. wool. heritage. family. lilac. red wine. memories.
