Hello and Welcome to The Art of Simplified Living. My name is Kristen Della Mattia, I'm first and Foremost a Wife to an Electrician and a mom to a Beagle named Gordon. I'm a Happy Homemaker, Self-Proclaimed Chef, and Recipe Designer. I love a glass, or 2, of Red Wine and a fresh, home cooked meal. I like to Grocery shop at Farmers markets and support local in all areas possible. My idea of decorating is hanging frames with smiling family photos and filling vases with seasonal florals. Something fresh is always coming out of the oven and the door is always open for guests. I'm on a mission to live Simpler and Slower, Enjoying life to it's fullest. My wish for all of you is that you find out what your personal definition of Slow Living is and impliment it into your life. Follow along as I post my definition of Slow Living through Recipes, Decor and Inspiration. Enjoy!
