It's the last week of May and I'm starting it off with an update on my word of the year: Less. I've been focusing on embracing doing less and giving myself a little grace for the last few months, but began the year with the mantra less clutter, less spending, less waste. I circled back...

Friday | The Last in May!
Friends, I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants this morning. I was all geared up to publish my favorite books so far this year and then it dawned on me as I snoozed through my alarm yesterday -- the end of May isn't the halfway point of the year. It's June. EEP! So... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | I’m Feeling More Like Myself
Happy Wednesday, friends! So far this week we've been enjoying sunny skies and lots of birds. I've added three birds to my life list (Magnolia Warbler, Killdeer, and the Belted Kingfisher), which is delightful. We are expecting rain this afternoon that will last through the evening, but that's okay. We've had plenty of time outside... Continue Reading →
Hello Monday
Hello to a new week! I had a quiet and relatively restful weekend and am so ready to start a new week. My notebook is set up and ready to be covered in another week's worth of activities and our homeschooling schedule is filled to the brim; I have ideas to take to the library... Continue Reading →

I hope so because the previous few weeks have felt a bit sparse. But I've been reaching for books to fill the quiet moments again and almost everything... Continue Reading →
Spring Magic
I didn't mean to disappear last week! I think you all know that I've been in something of a funk and I decided to try pushing the reset button by giving myself a break. I'm not sure if it helped but it was wonderful to just enjoy the spring weather we've been having. To get... Continue Reading →
Weekend Stitching
What a weekend! I don't think the weather could have been more perfect. We spent massive chunks of time outside and braved the arrival of all of the bugs because the sunshine was too good to pass up. I watched a good bit of the coronation with Colton at my side on Saturday morning. What... Continue Reading →
Friday | The One Before the Coronation
We are expecting some peeks of sunshine today! It feels like the last two weeks have been a solid wall of rain, but my notebook reminds me of pockets of sunshine and plenty of outside time despite that. And the weather seems to be shifting out of this rainy patch and moving towards some sunnier... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Prize Reading and 2 Readalouds
Happy Wednesday! We are in the middle of another very rainy week; we even had thunderstorms yesterday! A good thunderstorm is one of the things I miss about living in Texas so it's always exciting when I hear the rumbling. The flowers I planted a few weeks ago are extraordinarily happy with all of this... Continue Reading →
