Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Today is May 1st! It's a return to our typical routine and I am so relieved because I've missed sitting at the table and learning along with the kids. I feel so lucky to be able to homeschool and wouldn't trade it for anything. I know that breaks are just as important as routines so... Continue Reading →
April has simply flown away too fast and now National Poetry Month is wrapping up. I have enjoyed thinking more about poetry and how I wanted to share it with you. For the last few years I have attempted to make reading poetry a daily habit and the practice of sharing it on my blog... Continue Reading →
Thank you all for the encouragement lately! It's a rainy school vacation week and we're all going just a little bit stir-crazy. To top it off, Matthew's work schedule changed on Monday and Tuesday so I was parenting solo from noon through bedtime. Not ideal but we all survived and things are going back to...

It is the Friday before school vacation week! We're taking the week off from Blackberry Bluff School and Colton will be on a break from all of his programs. It might sound like a vacation but I'll likely be busier than ever and will yearn for a vacation of my own once the week ends.... Continue Reading →

I'm back with another poem to commemorate National Poetry Month. Today I'm sharing my favorite Mary Oliver poem; I know I've posted it before but I couldn't help but write about it again today. I have this poem taped up on the windowsill by my computer and read it multiple times a week, as I... Continue Reading →

Yesterday Bronwyn and I were feeling under the weather and spent most of the afternoon on the couch watching Marvel movies. I'm feeling much better this morning and hope that Bronwyn wakes up the...

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was full -- busy with baking and cooking. Sometimes I don't enjoy those tasks, but I have been lately. I hope that feeling sticks for a while because it's a very big part of my job around here! And the best part is that the... Continue Reading →
(photo credit; Wendell Berry at his desk.) April is National Poetry Month in the US. I confess that I struggle with poetry and don't understand why poets make their decisions: Why divide your sentences in half like that? Why put in those random breaks? Huh. THAT was a poem? ^^ These are all questions that... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends! We're in the middle of a cloudy and rainy week here in central New Hampshire and that means more time for reading! I have a couple of finished books of my own plus a handful of chapter book readalouds to share with you today. I'm already on my second cup of coffee... Continue Reading →
