Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I've been keeping daily quotes in my notebooks since September 1st of this year and then sharing them here once the month is over. Inspired by the community at Noted who experimented with this in September, I meant to stop at the end of the month but had so much fun that I kept going!... Continue Reading →
Although I wasn't ready for the weekend to end, I'm in a much better mental place this Monday than I was last week. The weather this weekend was chilly and windy, which made playing in the backyard extra fun for the kiddos. The warmth from our time at the firepit on Saturday evening was especially...

Monday is here! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Ours was beautiful! We spent so much time outside, used the fire pit on Saturday and Sunday, and went on a lovely ride to a nearby lake to enjoy the foliage a little longer. And more personally, I managed to finish two books, am... Continue Reading →
Tuesday! Friends, I'm publishing today's post a little late. Yesterday morning didn't go as planned and I was never able to find a way to fit this blog post into the day, so I'm doing the best I can to make this work. It was shocking to write Week 41 in today's title given that... Continue Reading →

The first Friday in October is already here! Every month zooms by these days but Octobers seem to end especially quickly. I'm reminding myself that it's only the fourth and still - we're that much closer to the end of the month! But we're going to try to soak in the season this weekend by... Continue Reading →
Last week was perfectly fall-like! It was full of cloudy and rainy days and we were so lucky that Matthew was on vacation. Our week didn't work out as I'd planned; we tweaked things as we went along, spent a lot of time outside, and tried to take advantage of every opportunity to soak in... Continue Reading →
We are halfway through the last full week of September and has been such a lovely one. The weather has felt like fall, Matthew has been on vacation, and we're enjoying the fire pit in the evenings. We're also expecting rain tonight and all day tomorrow and I'm delighted! I'm sharing next month's TBR today... Continue Reading →
Happy Fall! Yesterday was the Autumnal Equinox so we can officially say the season has begun. I am happy to share that the unrelenting sunshine of the last few weeks finally relented and we had a day full of clouds on Friday. Can you can imagine my happiness? And the weekend was perfect: a light... Continue Reading →
I did something really scary this week: I recorded a video and uploaded it on YouTube! It's planner season and many of us are considering our systems for next year. I've been a Hobonichi fan for so long and have decided that I'll be using an A5 Hon again next year. I've been chatting with... Continue Reading →
