A little bit of life in the middle, mailed to you.
Meet the Rooted in the Middle Snail Mail Club.
Once a month, we choose a theme and create a little collection around it, inspired by the stories, people, places and seasons that shape our lives here in the middle of the Midwest.
Inside you might find an original story, photographs, a recipe card, artwork, a sticker, something to make or keep and a few surprises along the way.
It's part letter. Part story. Part art.
Part reminder to slow down for a minute and enjoy something made by real people.
Put something meaningful back in the mailbox.
A monthly envelope filled with stories, photographs, art, recipes, and little surprises from five Midwest women finding beauty, humor, and meaning in ordinary life.
Every month, we gather a few things worth slowing down for and tuck them into the mail.
You might find:
an original story
a photograph or small art print
a recipe card or postcard
something useful, beautiful or encouraging
a little surprise we thought you’d enjoy
No filler. No giant box of stuff you don’t need.
Just a thoughtful envelope designed to give you something to look forward to.
Because the mailbox used to be more fun.
Somewhere along the way, mail became bills, postcard ads, and packages we barely remember ordering.
We wanted to put a little joy back into it.
Rooted in the Middle Mail Club is our way of sending something slower, personal and more human into your month.
Something you can hold, keep or gift.
Something that reminds you to notice the life already happening around you.
Life happens in the middle. Let’s notice it.
We are five women from one Midwest family, ages 25 to 70, living in very different seasons of life.
We share stories from farms and cities, gardens and kitchens, weddings and ordinary Tuesdays, changing seasons, art and photography, family traditions, and the small moments that somehow become the ones we remember.
Each month’s envelope grows out of one of those stories.
