Hi friends! Can you believe that next week is Thanksgiving? It sneaks up on me every year. Maybe one day I'll get the hang of preparing for these holidays in advance but I haven't gotten there yet. Yikes! And we woke up to a blanket of snow and a 2 hour school delay for Colton... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | November Is Really Here!
As I sat down to write this morning, our furnace roared to life for the first time this season. Yes -- we keep our heat absurdly low and I'm sure we could have used some heat in the house on the few sub-30 degree nights that we had in October. But as I type, it's... Continue Reading →
October 2022 Reading
Thinking back to October, I'm reminded what a gorgeous month it was. It was an amazing start to fall - beautiful foliage, cloudy and rainy days.

September 2022 Reading
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. On Friday I mentioned that I wanted to get to the mountains this weekend but thought it wouldn't be possible. I'm happy to say that we went! The traffic was insane and the Kanc was crawling with tourists, but for good reason. The foliage was at... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | The Last 3 Books from September
I've already greeted October here on my blog, but each day feels more October-like than the last and I feel like I should celebrate that somehow. I have to keep reminding myself that there's still some reflecting and writing to do for September despite feeling like I've fully sank into this new month! I'm here... Continue Reading →
