What is House & Mind? I'm Francesca...
being creative, fulfilling your life’s goals, running a family, creating or keeping up with your career…
…these all start with something very simple: Where and how we live.On House & Mind, you will find articles about the love of "keeping house," organizing and design, along with pieces on the “deeper” issues of home, heart and living a creative, enriching and thoughtful life...I also am a writer, budding filmmaker, lover of literature and great mysteries!

It’s all here…
I hope you enjoy it.
