A Manifesto of Sorts

So....

Small spaces, big lives: the way, the how, the why of our lives and not so much the where or the size of the space. How do we want our kids to see their lives?

In a time where people are always asking us if we're looking for something newer or bigger or better, our daughter will randomly say in her little high-lilt lovey voice: "I LOVE our old house!"

And mean it.

And she dances and plays the piano that sat in my grandmother's house, or works in her art studio in her bedroom. My son tears from living room to dining to kitchen and back and sets up his superheroes or makes a mess with paint on the living room table.

It's our life that matters. The home we make. The stuff and the people we love.
