Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I've been on an amazing reading streak! It's so exciting when this happens - knowing that there's always a good book waiting for me. Wanting to read everything under the sun can sometimes be anxiety-inducing, but it can also feel so hopeful - knowing that there's so much to learn about and experience! But settling...

What a week! It's now been over a week since I've written anything, even my morning pages. I've had an entire week of distressing digestion issues along with a sick husband and sick children. So I've fallen completely off of the writing wagon and am looking to slowly climb back aboard. So I'm here at... Continue Reading →
Today I'm linking up with the Five Minute Friday community. FMF is a weekly linkup that provides a prompt (this week is OFFER) and invites bloggers to set a timer for five minutes and WRITE. For weeks I've been debating whether to rejoin the Five Minute Friday linkup. It's been a couple of years since... Continue Reading →

Also because I don't want to say anything that will violate the privacy of my children and make anyone uncomfortable one day. But I think it's time to be more honest and... Continue Reading →
In January I wrote about my intention to get walking every day. I failed. Miserably. I still haven't gone on a single walk. I tried one day but the trails were solid ice and I worried about falling with the baby in the carrier, even with spikes on my shoes. I sort of gave up... Continue Reading →
It's hard to narrow down this list to just 10 books! My TBR runneth over and my book slump is starting to fade, so you know what that means... let the manic spring reading season begin! Most of these books aren't 2019 releases because I am perpetually behind. Maybe one day I'll be the kind... Continue Reading →
