Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
We just ended a very strange weekend. It was warm and we were able to play outside without coats! This weekend was an incredible January thaw but we're expected to swing back into more seasonable temperatures soon. But really - it felt like spring! Those weekends are so much fun because they give us a... Continue Reading →
I like to ease into Monday mornings by looking over my last week and thinking about my week ahead. As you can see from the picture below, I didn't quite get to use my Hobonichi Weeks as I had anticipated. My middle bug moved a dining room chair to reach up to the high shelf... Continue Reading →
We just finished the last full week of 2019! How can that be?! This has been an amazing year for me in so many ways. But I'm looking forward to 2020 and for nature's cycle to begin again. Today we're being blanketed in snow and in a few months we'll start to see the crocuses... Continue Reading →

I have completely fallen off of the writing wagon. June has been another weird month for me, but at least I've had my health (other than one strange stomach bug that took us out for a week) so I'm happy about that. I used to write early in the mornings, but it seems like all... Continue Reading →
April was a killer month for me - I'm pretty sure that I was sick for at least three solid weeks of it and I completely fell out of most of my habits. Today is May 1st and I just finished this wonderful books on habits, so I'm thinking about how to find a nice... Continue Reading →
