It's the last week of May and I'm starting it off with an update on my word of the year: Less. I've been focusing on embracing doing less and giving myself a little grace for the last few months, but began the year with the mantra less clutter, less spending, less waste. I circled back...

Friday | The One Before the Coronation
We are expecting some peeks of sunshine today! It feels like the last two weeks have been a solid wall of rain, but my notebook reminds me of pockets of sunshine and plenty of outside time despite that. And the weather seems to be shifting out of this rainy patch and moving towards some sunnier... Continue Reading →
Sparrow, What Did You Say? | National Poetry Month 2023
April is National Poetry Month in the US and I've chosen to honor it by sharing a special poem each week. So far I've shared poems on How to be a Poet and opening the doorway into thanks. Today I'm sharing a poem that has stuck with me since I first read it; a poem... Continue Reading →
At My Desk
What a weekend! Here in New Hampshire, it was relatively warm and sunny. A lot of snow melted so our driveway became Puddle City and, once again, plenty of mud has been tracked into the house. The work is never done! But it is so nice that the kids can get outside and burn off... Continue Reading →
Less In 2023
This is my sixth year to choose a word for the year, believe it or not. Funnily enough, I feel like I've almost come full circle. My first word in 2018 was abundance and today I'm sharing my goal of less. And really - they are the same idea. They're about being content with what... Continue Reading →
A Junction Update | Harikuyo | Chai
Good morning! Can you believe that it's Friday? This has been one of those weeks that has been agonizingly slow while also flying by. Know what I mean? So on one hand, yes. I can believe that it's Friday. And on the other... what is Friday? I can comprehend very little right now. I am... Continue Reading →
A Break
Just a quick note to let you know that I've decided to take this week off from blogging. I wish I could spend it like August the cat in the opening picture, but I don't expect to! I hope all of my American friends have a lovely Thanksgiving and that everyone reading has a week... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | mid-November
Hi friends! Can you believe that next week is Thanksgiving? It sneaks up on me every year. Maybe one day I'll get the hang of preparing for these holidays in advance but I haven't gotten there yet. Yikes! And we woke up to a blanket of snow and a 2 hour school delay for Colton... Continue Reading →
Monday Morning | This, That, and the Other
I'm sure many of you are feeling the same way this morning: the weekend went by too darn fast! I have to say that I didn't manage to read at all thanks to my three children. And that's okay because we stayed quite busy in all the best ways. Today's post has a few pictures... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | What I’ve Been Reading in Mid-July 2022
July has been a slow reading month for me and for the last few weeks I've only been able to listen to audiobooks. I don't seem to have the ability to sit down and read a book lately. And it's funny because less than a month ago I couldn't figure out how to listen to... Continue Reading →
