Hi, I’m Joanna!
My passion is for homemakers around the world to not only live in their homes, but live in them. I hope that we see our homes not just as permanent hotels or frustrating obstacles to true happiness, but that we would see them as sacred spaces in which we cultivate meaningful relationships with our families, friends, places of work, and communities.
I hope this blog inspires you to have a home that is filled with joy, contentment and peace and even in the difficulties, and that hope is always present. I hope that everyone who enters your home would find a sense of fulfillment and belonging.
I am a writer and a lover of language. I am a fan of days on the beach watching my kids play, travel, reading, and skiing. I adore French and English influences, patinas, pastries, and teas. Impressionist paintings are my favorite art form, and flowers always make my day!

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.
May joy and peace surround you,
Contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now,
And bless you evermore.
Bless you and yours
As well as the cottage you live in.
May the roof overhead be well thatched
And those inside be well matched.
May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
-Irish Blessing
