Hi, I’m Kristen Buchanan.
I am a mother.
I am also a founder, a starter, a builder, a perpetual considerer, a fiber artist, a gardener, a farmer, and a seeker. I contain multitudes - and so do you.
I started The New Home Economist because I couldn’t find space in the venn diagram for me, and then I started hearing from other mothers who felt the same.
There are spaces for Career Women. Tradwives. Homesteaders. All-in crunchy moms. But where is the space for those of us who want to honor, and not forget, the parts of us who worked before children? And for those of us who don’t want to let go of those skills and the things that work did for our minds? Here is that space - I made it for us, and together, we’ll be New Home Economists.
Because we contain multitudes and each of those versions of ourselves are worthy. At The New Home Economist, you are welcome. I make things to help you keep in touch with every version of yourself, and I hope it helps you feel seen as the intelligent, driven, loving mother you are.
