Hoomlook?!

Why Hoomlook?

I have gotten enough personal messages asking why Hoomlook, I figured the rest of you are fairly eager to know...
It seems a little weird and a lot of nonsense. But I like it. I like it because when I asked my distracted child what mommy should name her new blog Jacob said, staring at a pile of Legos, "Hmmm Look!" And I thought well that isn't helpful... maybe I should just call it "Squirrel!" (If you've never seen the movie Up then I apologize, it is worth seeing by the way). 
And while asking my 6 year old, Lydia, what I should name mommy's blog she looked straight at the thing she was wanting to play with after school (she happens to be very concrete in her creative thinking) and said, "how about Hook Loom" (a hand weaving plastic square). Yes, exactly what I want to promote... hand weaving. 
When I approached my 20 month old she simply said "more!" because she desperately needed more goldfish... not helpful.

But the point is, I don't need some fancy or catchy name. It would probably help, but I don't need it. I wanted my children to help jump start the beginning of this journey... so with their invaluable guidance, The Hoomlook Life began. And it is crazy and weird, it is distracted and concrete. It is full of these blessings I call children and I wouldn't have it any other way.


So here you have it. The Hoomlook Life. Take it or leave it ;)
