Family time at home
Kline is one of a growing number of young Americans embracing the home-centered lifestyle of their grandparents’ generation.
Culture writer Emily Matchar said in an interview via Skype that she's writing a book about the movement, which she calls “New Domesticity.”
"People spend a lot of time at their computers and there’s just something very lovely and very appealing about doing something with your hands and maybe doing something that seems old-fashioned or seems to connect you with previous generations," said Matchar.
Sociologist Betsy Greer said that connection is the key to this growing movement.
“It’s this dual thing where it connects us to ourselves, because we have time to think while we’re doing it, and it connects us to others,” she said.
Shannon Kline agrees. “I’ve met a lot of women who have really taken up sewing and canning and gardening, and have really been loving it.”
It's a feeling that many Americans apparently believe has been lost in today's fast-paced world.
