Here are some random facts about us:
My parents were both born in Romania, and we go to a Romanian speaking church.
Everyone in our family is pretty musical. Two of us play violin, one plays cello, and one of us plays viola. We also all sing in choir!
There are only two boys in the family (not counting my dad).
My mom, Adriana, is a stay at home mom an she loves gardening, art, and re-purposing things. She's always encouraging us to be creative. About a year ago, she started reading different blogs, and because of that, a few months ago we started up this blog. We are always thinking up new things to make and re-do. My mom does a lot of the projects and writes posts now that we've taught her how.
My name is Emily and I'm the oldest in our family. I love playing the violin, drawing, and cooking. I home schooled through high school and am now in college and working towards becoming an Occupational Therapist Assistant. I started the blog and work with the technical stuff involved with the blog. The name of our blog, Namely Original, was inspired by my first Etsy shop, where I sell name art signs and chalkboard signs.
Thanks for stopping by! We love hearing from you and reading your comments!
I too love decorating and re-purposing! I'm following your blog now! I the stuff you have on here!
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you all are involved with these projects/business. My grand daughter is only 3 but I'd love it if she got interested in my furniture restoration!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting family life you must have. Tell us more about your daily life. How in the world do you keep this family fed? Do you have a big garden, animals? Do you all speak Romanian? Tell us about some of your families customs?

There is rarely a dull moment at our house, and sometimes a little crazy(noise level). People that visit are sometime amazed that our house is clean, but in our house cleanliness is next to Godliness. All the kids have age appropriate chores. We make almost everything from scratch, have dinner together every night,and feeding them has never been an issue as God provides all our needs. We do plant a garden every year because tomatoes from our garden just don't compare to the stores. We speak Romanian, but the kids understand it better than they speak.
DeleteThanks for visiting!

I just found your blog through Pinterest. When I saw the size of your dining room table, I knew I needed to look more into this site. I have seven children ages 12-5, 5 girls and 2 boys. I am forever looking for ideas to frugally organize and decorate. Thank you for taking the time to blog! God bless you! Where in the US do you live?
ReplyDeleteI love that we can be a blessing to other big families! We live in Missouri and we definitely do everything frugally.
ReplyDeleteI love that you all help out with the blog and obviously around the house! Well Done girls and Mama. New follower and although I do not have big family, just 3 kiddos, I LOVE big families and say more power to ya'!
