Happy Friday, friends. The sky is bright blue, the last few leaves are rattling on the maple tree in our front yard, and I have Colin Powell's funeral on in the background (the military band is currently playing ABBA as I type this - I love it!). The kids are playing and I'm stealing a... Continue Reading →

Friends, I am so inspired by all of you. It seems like everyone is upping their blogging game and writing the coziest and most lovely posts - I am loving it! I'm dropping in today to share some pictures of life around here lately. We've been having afternoon teatime everyday and this makes me so... Continue Reading →
Sunday Catch Up
Greetings, fellow bloggers! This morning I've managed to wake up nice and early and sit down with a hot cup of coffee. The wind is blowing and, while it's still pitch black outside, I can hear the leaves falling. This a morning rhythm I've missed over the last few months and am hoping to invite... Continue Reading →
A Stitchy Invitation & Catching Up
This week completely got away from me, but I still wanted to check in with all of you before the new week begins.

A Friday in October
It is OCTOBER - my favorite month. The leaves are falling. The air is crisp. I'm drinking Just Elderflower tea by the pot. This is my idea of perfection! We closed our windows this week. I'll miss the fresh air in the house until we open them again in the late spring, but love how... Continue Reading →

A Sunday Poem | Growing Darkness
It's been a while since I shared a Sunday Poem, but I put a sticky note on the first week of September so that I would remember to share this poem with you all today. And it's an even cooler balm to the soul now than it was months ago when I first read it.... Continue Reading →

Weekend | Week 34 in 2021
Welp. It sure was another week, wasn't it? I kept things simple: we had the week off from school and I didn't put any pressure on us to do anything other than play, which made all the difference in the world given the state of things in the world. Today's post will also be super... Continue Reading →
Weekend | Week 33 in 2021
I don't think anyone can say this is a particularly joyful weekend given the state of the world. I wanted to write this post yesterday but couldn't quite bring myself to do it. But of course, the point of this practice is to find joy even when it seems like there isn't any, so here... Continue Reading →
