Yikes! I can't decide if March is flying or dragging -- it's been a tough one for me. Despite that, I've had an A+ week of reading which makes everything better, right? I'm here today to share what I've read since last Wednesday. I hope you have a hot beverage handy because it was full... Continue Reading →
A Cloudy Friday in March
Happy Friday! I am so pleased that we're nearing the weekend. The kids are almost completely back to themselves but the adults are still struggling with the cold we've had over the last week+. I am still not sleeping well, have a nagging cough, and am full of sinus pressure and pain. I am hoping... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Two Slow & Steady Finishes; Two Backlist Titles; and A Start on the Women’s Prize
Happy Wednesday! This post is being published a little late because I've been sleeping poorly and haven't been able to wake up as early as I'd like. This cough just won't go away and it's been keeping me up at night. I'm hoping that I'll be feeling better soon, but I want to stay caught... Continue Reading →
The Case of the Mystery Gauge Swatch
Thank you everyone for your well wishes in my last post. Colton is pretty much back to normal but the rest of us are struggling. And it always makes the weekends hard when one child isn't sick but the rest of us are. Colton was pretty bored and impatient with us, especially given that we... Continue Reading →
Friday | A March Knitting Update
First of all - Thank you all for your well-wishes on Wednesday's post. Colton is still coughing, but he was fever-free yesterday so I'm pretty sure he's going to school today (for the first day this week!). I'm still fighting a fever but am feeling much better overall. And last night I was up and... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Prize Procurement
It snowed all day yesterday. It was beautiful, but heavy and wet. That means that it is compacted and dense, which makes it difficult to measure the total and clearing it is going to be a total beast. It was the kind of snow that brings down power lines. Here at our house, the power... Continue Reading →
At My Desk
What a weekend! Here in New Hampshire, it was relatively warm and sunny. A lot of snow melted so our driveway became Puddle City and, once again, plenty of mud has been tracked into the house. The work is never done! But it is so nice that the kids can get outside and burn off... Continue Reading →
A Stitching Update | A New Tool; Annie Bayliss Progress; What’s Next?
It's Saturday! I meant to publish this post at some point yesterday, but the whole day was a whirlwind. So I'm here today with a little stitching update. I haven't been stitching a ton over the last few weeks, but I have a gorgeous new tool, a little progress, and some plans to share. I... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | March Has Crept In
Good morning! This week continues to feel upside down but I'm here today to share my recent reading with you. As I alluded to on Monday, my reading has slowed down quite a bit after a busy February. But I have one finished readaloud for you, an update on my slow and steady reads, and... Continue Reading →
February 2023 Reading Review
This weekend was full of time outside in the snow - it was wonderful (and exhausting)! Last week was winter vacation here in New Hampshire so we had very little structure, but it snowed nearly every day so there was plenty to keep us busy. And this morning was an awkward start -- I accidentally... Continue Reading →
