Why “The Cultivation of Cozy”?

I started this space as a way to share my love of all things cozy. As a way to encourage other homemakers and stay at home moms. To support and mentor others in cultivating a cozy home full of love and lasting memories. A place where you and your family feel cherished. Where core memories are developed and talked about for years to come. A home where eventually family will return to as a haven of belonging and comfort.

As someone who did not grow up in that kind of home, I know how important it is and I know the deep desire to create this for your family. I feel it too. I have made it my mission to break the generational chains and cultivate a place where my family feels safe, secure, and loved. You can too! Join me and we will create this kind of life full of purpose together.

Hey There!

I’m Christen

My story is long and winding, but I have found over the years that creating a cozy home provides a sense of warmth that even a wood stove cannot.

A little about myself: I am married to the love of my life, we have three wonderful children, and the mountains of Virginia are where we call home.

Our dream is to one day have land and a homestead, but right now we are content to bloom where we are planted.

What has shaped who I am is my faith and healing from my past. I grew up in a chaotic home and that has made me passionate about creating a cozy and joyful home for my family.

I want to encourage other women like me, who may have had a chaotic home as a child and now want to create a cozy home and nurture their family.
