Quiet

I was one for New Year resolutions, always bugging Scott to join me in the formation of them.
This year, I've been inspired to find a word of intention instead, that could permeate many aspects of my life.
It might be more difficult to quantify success as opposed to a resolution but a word of intention seems to resonate with me.
It can be fluid and inspirational.


This is the year of quiet for me.

I will choose to listen to those around me.
I want to quiet my mind so I can enjoy what is important to me.
Quiet time for myself will be dutifully carved into my days.
Raising my voice does no good for Tessa or myself, so quiet will be the tone I take.
Quiet when negative statements try to squeak past my lips.
Seeking out the quiet places in nature to sneak away the hours together as a family.

This is how I see 2015 and I am happy to see how it all plays out.

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.
