Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Happy New Year! We spent last night by the fire pit and it was wonderful. Of course, I was asleep well before midnight and was happy to wake up to a fresh new year this morning. French toast, a fresh loaf of sourdough bread, and a batch of sourdough biscuits warmed up the kitchen and... Continue Reading →

I wanted to share what I'm reading right now - it is fantastic! - and my last minute holiday plans. Amazon affiliate link | Blackwell's affiliate link... Continue Reading →
Friends! I have missed you. I am sorry for my total absence over the last month. I'm here today to fill you in on what's been going on with me and my hopes for 2024. We are on a school break this week and next-- which is a tremendous relief for me. Our homeschooling has... Continue Reading →
Hello! Can you believe it is November 15th? We're halfway through the month and headed into December. How did that happen? It is definitely Stick Season here in New Hampshire; the snow from last week melted quickly and I am anxiously awaiting our next storm. If it's going to be so dark all of the... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends! Thank you so much for all of your kind words and encouragement in my last blog post.

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 →
