The Story of My Mom on Her 80th Birthday…
And the Story of the Home That’s Held 3 Generations
We’re standing in the same South Shore, MA, home we moved into 10 years ago, one with an in-law apartment, a little extra space, and a lot of heart.
Shortly after my dad passed, we made the decision to buy a home that could support all of us:
Different rhythms. Different routines. But one shared purpose to stay connected without losing our space or sanity.
Since then, we’ve…
-
Homeschooled teenagers who are now headed off to college
-
Navigated the highs and lows of pandemic life
-
Shared holidays, caregiving duties, kitchen laughs, and quiet moments
And somehow, through all the real-life mess and beauty, we built something that worked.
Now, we’re in a new chapter supporting my mom as she gets older, while making room for the next generation to visit, boomerang back, or simply stay connected to something bigger than themselves.
Here’s the Secret:
Multi-generational living doesn’t have to mean constant togetherness or zero privacy.
With the right setup, it can mean:
- A full in-law suite or ADU
- Private spaces AND shared spaces
- A home layout that works with, not against your lifestyle
- A design that reflects your values: connection, comfort, and choice
This lifestyle isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve ever thought about living with loved ones under one roof, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
As a local South Shore expert in multi-generational homes who’s actually lived this way, I created a Free Multi-Generational Living Guide to help you get started without the guesswork.

Whether you’re dreaming about an in-law apartment, planning to build an ADU, or simply wondering if this lifestyle could work for you, I’m here to help you explore it the right way.
Or send a message, I’d love to hear what’s on your mind.
Because sometimes, the right home isn’t just for you, it’s for your whole legacy.
With care,
Juli
