A journal about
making a life,
a home, and the
things that matter.
I write, draw, make things, raise children, and explore what it means to heal, belong, and create a happy home.
A door left open
Welcome.
This is my little corner of the internet.
A place for the things I am making, noticing, learning, and wondering about — from inner healing and motherhood to creativity, nourishment, books, and the ordinary work of making a home.
I don’t have everything figured out.
I’m simply keeping notes along the way.

Notes from an unfinished life.
Coming Home to Ourselves
Home is more than a place. Sometimes it begins with learning how to feel at home within ourselves.

Coming Home
to Ourselves
Home is more than a place.
It is somewhere we slowly
learn to feel safe inside.
It is somewhere we slowly
learn to feel safe inside.
Sometimes creating a home begins long before we choose the furniture, cook the meal, or raise the children.
It begins with learning how to feel at home within ourselves.
My work explores the relationship between inner healing and everyday home life — how our childhood experiences shape us, how we carry them into adulthood, and how we can slowly create something different.
A softer home.
A healthier home.
A happier home.
Not a perfect one.
Threads of an ordinary life
What I’m exploring
01
Healing the inner child
Understanding the younger parts of ourselves and learning to offer ourselves the safety, care, and compassion we may have needed earlier in life.
02
Life after trauma
Reflecting on what it means to live, grow, love, parent, and create after difficult experiences — without allowing the past to define the whole story.
03
Happy homemaking
Learning to create a home that supports wellbeing, connection, creativity, and joy.
Homemaking is not about perfection.
It is about making ordinary life feel worth living.
04
Motherhood
The ordinary days that quietly become childhood memories.
Learning to raise children while continuing to grow alongside them.
05
Nourishment
Food, health, rituals, movement, rest, and the everyday practices that help us care for ourselves and our families.
06
Creativity
Writing, drawing, making books, experimenting, and choosing to become a person who makes things instead of only dreaming about them.
From the making table
Stories. Pages. Small beginnings.

Home, by Linh
Healing the inner child. Living through what shaped us. Learning to make a happy home.
Home, by Linh is my video journal about healing, motherhood, homemaking, creativity, and the quiet work of building a life that feels like home.
I talk about inner-child healing, life as a trauma survivor, motherhood, everyday homemaking, emotional wellbeing, nourishment, creativity, and the small rituals that make ordinary life feel meaningful.
This is not about creating a perfect home.
It is about learning how to feel at home in our own lives.
An ongoing curiosity
The Science
of Home
What makes a healthy home?
I began with nutrition.
I studied nutrition because I believed food was one of the foundations of a healthy family.
But the longer I lived, learned, and became a mother, the more I realized that nourishment is much bigger than food.
A child’s development is shaped by relationships.
Our wellbeing is influenced by our environment.
Our habits are connected to our spaces.
Education happens beyond the classroom.
Rituals give meaning to ordinary days.
Cooking can be science, culture, memory, and care at the same time.
So I started asking a bigger question:
What makes a home a healthy place to grow?
The Science of Home is my ongoing exploration of that question.
