Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Happy Wednesday, friends! Thank you so much for all of your kind words and encouragement in my last blog post. I'm still getting used to not having a blog schedule and don't yet know how to organize myself to ensure that I show up consistently in a new way. But I managed to finagle an... Continue Reading →
Hello out there! This is my first blog post since October 9th, which is the longest I've gone without an update since 2016. Yikes! It seems like I took my word of the year to heart in October and coped with the outrageous month by narrowing my focus so tightly that it didn't include my... Continue Reading →
Friends, I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have today off from everything. It is Indigenous Peoples' Day and the last day of our four day weekend! We had appointments every day last week -- they all seem to happen at the same time -- and I have something scheduled every day this... Continue Reading →
I haven't yet gushed about the arrival of October. I am thrilled that it's here and hoping for more seasonal temperatures in the next few weeks. This last week has been much warmer than typical October weather (in the 80s) and I'm ready to say goodbye to summer. But we can definitely see the leaves... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday, friends! I hope your weekend went well. We had a quiet weekend; we stayed close to home, ate from the crockpot, and enjoyed a couple of evenings around the fire pit. The temperature is getting quite cool in the morning and evening but the sun is strong and is keeping the house warm... Continue Reading →
I'm running a little late again this week. On Monday I managed to publish my post in the afternoon and now I'm running about a day behind schedule. That's okay! It's only Thursday and it's been such a full week; I'm grateful to have found any quiet time at my desk to get this post... Continue Reading →
And wow! It's the last week of September. I'm sure you're all as shocked as I am. I'm here today to write about my word of the year, Less. Today's post is a little different and doesn't include a reflection from September. Instead, it's an effort to look ahead to October. Will you cheer me... Continue Reading →
I seem to be taking my time with a lot of things lately! This post, for example, is a day "late" and I've been savoring every word of every book I've been reading these last few weeks. My reading has been so rewarding on a personal level but that means that I don't have a... Continue Reading →
Friends, what a weekend! The humidity has finally left us and it's starting to cool down around here. Not cool enough for sweaters but I did wear a pair of handknit socks yesterday and that made me very happy. I am excited to share our weekend activities, including a drive out to the ocean and...

Happy Friday, friends! This week has flown by for me; how about you? I feel like I've just put my head down and powered through but have made a special effort to spend time in my notebooks, which always helps to slow things down just a little bit. Fridays are about reveling in the joyous... Continue Reading →
