Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Happy Wednesday, friends. For two weeks in a row, I have no knitting to share so I'm focusing on books again. I have a recent finish, an update on a couple of other (amazing!) books, and a bit about this year's Indie Bookstore Day. I have my coffee at my side and am so ready... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Wednesday, dear friends. A big thank you to Kat for hosting Unraveled Wednesday - a gathering place for stitchers and readers to share their works in progress. I'm trying to stagger my stitching escapades on my blog and am focusing on one discipline each week. But I have to be honest: I've mostly... Continue Reading →
It's time to talk about my One Little Word for 2022. Picking this year's word has been a journey. I had my 2021 word picked out well in advance and was so excited to get started. My 2022 word has been much more elusive and has changed a few times, including just a week or... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I shared a poem, but here I am. Remember when I complained about my current Mary Oliver collection? I said that I'd already read many of the collections these poems were pulled from and that I was trying to remind myself that rereading poetry is encouraged. Well - lesson learned....

Dear Friends - I am happy to share that my reading slump ended around mid-November. In September I deleted my Goodreads Reading Challenge and stopped tracking the number of books I've read. And then - I just kind of stopped reading for myself. But that break was important because it allowed me to flip a... Continue Reading →
Happy week of Thanksgiving in the US! We've got our menus planned, groceries bought, and have started baking things. But the real preparation will begin in earnest on Wednesday afternoon and I'm chomping at the bit to get started. But before we can start Thanksgiving, I'd like to share (some of) the oops* I've made... Continue Reading →
