2. Why We’re Moving to Northeast Florida After Dreaming About It for 10 Years

from The Slow Living Era: Moving, Motherhood and Building a Slower, Simpler Life · host Maggie Schneider

For years, the idea of moving to Florida was something we talked about “someday.” After more than a decade of dreaming, praying, planning, and navigating a few unexpected turns along the way, that someday is finally becoming reality. In this episode, I’m sharing the full story behind our move to Northeast Florida, including the timing, the challenges, and why this season felt like the right one for our family to take the leap. From conversations we had back when I graduated nursing school to a nearly-planned move to North Carolina that ultimately fell through, this journey has been anything but straightforward. Looking back now, it’s easy to see how so much of it came down to timing and trusting the process.I’m also answering one of the biggest questions I’ve been getting over on Instagram: why Northeast Florida? I share what drew us to this area specifically, what we’ve learned about the local homeschool community, and why the lifestyle and environment feel so aligned with the kind of life we want to create for our kids. Of course, I also open up about the fears and worries that naturally come with making such a big move. At the heart of it all, this decision came down to creating a slower, more intentional life and following the long-term vision we have for our family.Links & Resources:Visit My Website: maggieslowliving.com Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maggieslowliving/Hilltop Help’s Website: hilltophelp.comHello Fresh: https://www.hellofresh.com/freebox/Mzc1MTIxNjY1LTAtNC0xNi1VUw for a Free BoxAmazon Storefront: https://a.co/d/034HMOXu
