Last December I was on a walk in New Jersey with a few of my 8 siblings. We were all in town for a tribute at Manhattan College to my dad, post mortem, for his athletic excellence. It was a great gathering, all of us there from all points of the U.S. and beyond, sans kids and partners. And this winter walk through our childhood streets was a great part of it.
We passed a great SLOW CHILDREN sign. Not your modern day bubble head sign, this one was a relic from our own youth. Complete with knickers! My brother got a picture as a nod to Slow Family Living.
My friend Lauren photoshopped FAMILY over CHILDREN and voila, the Slow Family Living sticker is born! I love driving around with this emblem on my van, telling all the world, we’re taking it as slow as we can. Taking the time to connect and really enjoy family life in whatever ways we can. You can get one too if you want. To tell the world there’s a Slow Family in that car.

oh cool! I totally want one of these. But we don’t drive much – do they come in smaller sizes for bikes?

Just ordered our Slow Family Bumper stickers. Very exciting!
In talking to a friend yesterday, she spoke of the craziness of her life. She didn’t know how to shift it. I told her of the Slow Family Movement and to connect to them. It gave her hope knowing there was a source for her to go to. Slow Family is much needed for all!
