This is such a good idea! Thank you for the mention, Megan😊 I’m looking forward to connecting with other slow, intentional, living mamas and hearing about homeschooling journeys😄 my little one is only eight months old but I have been loving hearing from mamas who have done it all before me, or are planning to do the same🥰

Love this idea! I’m learning how to find the good side of slow here on Substack, going fast has been engrained into my life for a long time. Now that I’m a mom I realize how much better it is to slow down.

What a wonderful idea! I’m brand new to Substack but found myself here for the very reasons you and the other ladies on this thread are talking about. I’m a mom to an 8 month old little girl and I live in the mountains of Northern Colorado. I don’t see myself having a really specific focus on my page but I imagine many of my posts will be related to motherhood, slow living in the mountains, homesteading, and general millennial reflections. I’m really excited to be here and connect with more women!

We’re in Northern Colorado near Rocky Mountain National Park! We’re at about 8500’ - so we’re up there but still close to the Boulder/Denver metro areas.

Amazing!! We love visiting the Denver area! We were just talking about getting there with our kiddos! Are you from the area?

Thank you for including me. Sometimes I wonder if I should be considered slow living; my internal self has a desire to keep rushing forward but I write mostly about coming to terms with how unsustainable that is!
