Slow & Simple

Cultivating a home of intention

a place for kindred mothers

Join the community

Slow & Simple

where memories are made, connection is kept, and simple moments are savored

Slow & Simple is:

A collective of gatherings, events, resources, and an online journal to cultivate a slow & simple home of intention.

The Community:

The Slow & Simple Community is a place for kindred mothers (and future mothers) to gather & grow together in homes of intention, rooted in Christ.

We Believe:

• In slow morning snuggles

• Memories should be made

• Simple moments should be savored

• Time together matters

• Hygge should be cultivated

• Life should be lived with intention

• There is beauty in the ordinary

• In gathering with a cup of cocoa around the fire

• Gratitude changes everything

• Home is the best place in the world

• These are the good old days

Fika Our afternoon together time. It’s one of Fika

Our afternoon together time.

It’s one of the rhythms in our day that we hold closely.

Fika comes from Sweden and is simply a coffee break.

Taking time in our day to slow down and be present with loved ones, enjoying coffee or tea (and often times for us foam or chocolate milk). We love a treat with it, such as a baked good as well, but often times it’s simply a drink in our handmade mugs.

As a mama, I protect our together time. I know we are cultivating the relationship that Gray and I will have when he is grown.

I will savor these simple moments, knowing these are the good old days.

Intentional Hygge It matters so much. Hygge is: Intentional Hygge
It matters so much.

Hygge is:

•The atmosphere of home.
•Having gratitude and joy.
•Slowing down and savoring the simple moments together.
•Cultivating connection and making memories.
•Drinking hot cocoa together by the fire on a chilly evening.
•The hug that we give when our child needs a little extra love.
•Slow mornings spent snuggling together under the warm blankets.
•Kind words that we speak to one another.
Warming scents of orange & cinnamon filling up the home.
•Traditions our family holds closely.
•Mornings spent reading the Bible together next to candlelight.
•Praying over our children.
•Baking chocolate chip cookies together (and the laughs that come as we bake).
•Laying in bed reading stories at bedtime.
•Celebrating & delighting in the seasons that The Lord has given to us.
•Feelings of love, warmth, and belonging that our children remember of home, when they are grown.
.
.
And when we have these things:

We build a deeper connection with one another.

Connection where relationships are cultivated, allowing conversations to take place.

Conversation around our family culture, and what truly matters in our home.

What truly matters:
Being rooted in Christ.

This is why intentional hygge matters for our home.

Sweet mama friend, May we remember this summer: Sweet mama friend,

May we remember this summer:

We are part of their memories.

They want us to play the games, get in the water, and be in the pictures with them.

When they look back on their summers growing up, may the stories they tell be ones where we are in the moments with them.

Let’s slow down, cultivating connection and together time with them.
