HELD TOGETHER

Motherhood, home, and everything we’re building along the way.

1920s Georgian home in Columbus, Ohio with red brick, black shutters, and traditional landscaping.

A little about me

I’m Katie—a former teacher, stay-at-home mom, and current renovator of a very old house. Held Together is where I share what I’m learning, loving, renovating, buying, and occasionally overthinking along the way.

Katie Schaeflein, writer and founder of Held Together.
