About Ivywild

In Fall of 2016 we bought our first home and have spent our days since trying to make it into a cozy and loving space for our growing family.

One of the parks we’d frequent when Teddy was learning to walk is called Ivywild, and we decided to use the name for this small space of the internet dedicated to documenting this season of our family’s life. To us, it represents building a home and raising a family while trying to enjoy intentional and slow living.

This is our Ivywild.
We’re so happy to have you here.
