The second month I have issued here is focused on setting in place the basics of creating meaningful and practical routine and ritual, in short, instructional little snippets (one for every day of the month) created to have you thinking about how you live now and how you could by the end of the year have gently shifted that way of life towards something layered like so much tissue paper in meaning, routine, seasonal rhythm, ritual, and both domestic and authentic satisfaction.

JANUARY – Vintage Housekeeping

FEBRUARY – Routine and Ritual

MARCH – Authenticity

APRIL – Scrub

MAY – Thrift

JUNE – Puttering

JULY – Feast

AUGUST – Accomplish

SEPTEMBER – Treasure

OCTOBER – Snuggle

NOVEMBER – Entertain

DECEMBER – Celebrate As the daily to-do’s are bite-sized, they will not overwhelm your day, and are deceptively simple in both instruction and design but will encourage you over the year, to consider all aspects of your way of life, breaking down as they do, what it is to run a house without losing yourself and to examine where it is life is slipping away from you when it could mean more to both you and yours.
