Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
The snow has finally melted back enough for the crocuses to start poking through the ground! It's going to be a cold week, but those tender looking stalks are actually quite tough, so they'll be fine. The pussy willow hasn't started fuzzing yet, but I can't wait to clip some of those sweet little branches... Continue Reading →
We're nearly a quarter of the way through the year and it seems like everyone is taking stock of their blog goals - our original intentions versus what we've created as a result of our real lives. I don't know about you, but I feel adrift. I thought my goals for this year were simple:... Continue Reading →
On Monday I wrote about the reminder to PAUSE when the unexpected crops up. Well, the unexpected continued to crop up because it was a full week of vomiting for my little family of 5, which meant that nothing went as expected.

I wasn't planning on writing this morning, but my WordPress Reader was full of inspirational writing posts (thank you!), so here I am. The floors are covered in books and blocks, little fuzzies, and bread crusts, which is what I should be attending to. But my biggest bear is playing make believe and wants to... Continue Reading →
I love it when what I'm reading happens to be in line with the things I'm thinking about. Isn't it funny how that happens? It's like when you learn a new word: all of a sudden you see and hear it everywhere. Was it always there and I'm just now noticing? What else am I... Continue Reading →
2019 is the year of the PAUSE! This year, I'm making an effort to wait a couple of heartbeats before making a decision or replying when something rubs me the wrong way. Of course, there are moments when I totally blow my lid or lie without meaning to, but I think I'm becoming a bit... Continue Reading →
