How does Natasha Nicholes incorporate her personal life into her creative projects?

Natasha weaves personal life into nearly everything created.

Houseful of Nicholes started when twins were on the way and there was not a space that reflected an African-American family expanding by two at once. Since then, family milestones, homeschooling, marriage, and building a Habitat for Humanity home all show up as stories, tips, and lessons on the blog and social channels.

Gardening and homesteading are also deeply personal. The backyard garden grew into the We Sow We Grow community initiative, turning a family interest in food and making into a neighborhood resource. Hobbies like sewing, knitting, canning, and baking become tutorials, partnerships, and talks, all grounded in real family life in Chicago.

Is there a specific type of project you are most curious about—gardening, homeschooling, or storytelling on the blog?
