The Living Room Academy

 

Young women,

What do you wish your grandmother taught you? 

I know many of you were raised with traditional values and have the desire to run a pleasant, blessed home. . . but have no idea how to begin. Perhaps cleaning your room is overwhelming enough, let alone envisioning yourself ever sewing, mending, cooking, embroidering. You want to be a capable, diligent woman, someone who makes others feel comfortable. 

You know you are meant to repair that emergency tear with thread, herb, or handkerchief. 

And you are right. 

This is why I'm opening my home up in Montana this summer as The Living Room Academy. 

You have the extraordinary opportunity of learning how to keep a home cozy and wholesome. For two weeks you will be living with me in my Montana home and following me throughout my everyday activities. We will cook and clean and sew and knit and embroider. In the afternoons we will take walks in the mountains, and before bed we will gather to read and talk and do something light with our hands. 

This course may seem daunting, it will be far from easy, but you will leave feeling refreshed and ready to build community and run a household. You learn the art of grace and spontaneity through developing life-skills, and you will do this in the presence of other young women. 

I am passionate about making sure young women can come to this. While I encourage girls to first reach out to their church or community for funding, the school also has a scholarship program. Money should be the least of your concerns when applying to the Living Room Academy. 

You can register here or email me to begin your application! 

Welcome the unexpected. 
Reclaim tradition and delight. 
Appropriate some old-fashioned ideals.
Come visit this extraordinary school where everyday things happen!!
