Our maple tree somehow still has leaves on it despite how quickly my lap gets covered when I'm sitting under it and reading, even for just a few minutes. It rained all day yesterday and it is forecasted to keep raining today. We will see what that does to the leaves this weekend! I'm enjoying... Continue Reading →
On Keeping A Notebook | Thinking about 2023
Happy Monday! It's been a long time since I've shared a picture of my notebook. In fact, I don't think I've shared this year's notebook at all despite it being a regular Monday feature for a very long time. Today I'm thinking about 2023 and what makes sense for my notebook-loving heart. Won't you join... Continue Reading →
On Keeping a Notebook | A Needlework Enthusiast’s Book of Days
It's been a long time since I've written a notebook post! I still keep many notebooks that I update nearly everyday, but I lost my enthusiasm for these Monday posts. I've started keeping a new notebook in 2022 - A Needlework Enthusiast's Book of Days - and wanted to share a bit about it. I... Continue Reading →
A Quiet Week
Happy Friday, friends. This week has been so quiet around my home, which is strange. Our walls are typically vibrating with energy and noise, but I think we're all doing a bit of wintering right now. It's a welcome change for me! This week I've sank into a routine of reading and writing, so I... Continue Reading →

Jibun Techo | Week 30 in 2021
Happy August! I have to say that this was probably the best July of my life. It was relatively cool, we were outside nearly every single day of the month, and it was full of my favorite things. I'm hoping the weather in August is similar! These Monday morning posts give me an opportunity to... Continue Reading →
Jibun Techo | Week 29 in 2021
Happy Monday! Can you believe July is nearly over? I know it's cliché, but I have no idea where this summer has gone. That's one of the reasons I'm so grateful for this little notebook habit of mine - it's easy to look back and see that, yes, I actually existed this summer. Without it,... Continue Reading →
Jibun Techo | Week 28 in 2021
Each Monday I share the previous week's entry in my planner. My purpose is to think about how I'm using my time and ensure I'm making choices that match up with my overarching goals and values. I'm also seeking some semblance of balance, but that's usually difficult to see over the span of just a... Continue Reading →
