I don't want to alarm you but it is now mid-June and we're nearly halfway through 2023! How has June been treating you? The weather in New Hampshire has been perfect for me - cloudy and rainy. But it's been hard to keep up with a lot of things this month and I'm looking for... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | A New Release and An Oldie
Happy Wednesday! Sorry about not showing up on Monday but, as predicted, morning time at my desk was hard to capture over the weekend. That's okay because I might be able to get this post together despite it all; I'll just stick to what's happening in my little bookish world right now and try to... Continue Reading →
Stitching Update | June 2023
Happy Friday! The weather around here has been cloudy and cool - pretty much perfect for me. Thank you all for the concerns about the air quality and wildfires, but I'm happy to report that our air is nothing like what's happening around NYC this week. We had the tiniest amount of haze earlier this... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | International Booker Winner and Two Bedtime Readalouds
I am totally discombobulated this week for some reason! I spent all day yesterday (Tuesday) thinking that it was Thursday and that my houseplants needed to be watered. I kept trying to reset my internal clock with almost no success. Wednesdays tend to keep me straight thanks to my weekly reading update, so let's hope... Continue Reading →
May 2023 Reading Review & Summer Reading Plans
Good morning, Monday! This weekend was cloudy, cool, and rainy - perfect for staying inside and doing cozy things. I chose to revive my sourdough starter and get a loaf of bread started last night (I'm trying this method, we'll see how it goes) and I baked a pan of brownies yesterday morning (non-sourdough batter,...

I have been spending a lot of time with my journals, trying to come up with a plan for tackling... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Finishing a Series and a Prize List; Two Bedtime Readalouds
Wednesday! I have to admit that I've had a hard time figuring out the days this week; I've kept my notebooks close so that I could confirm my place in the space/time continuum. My blog keeps me grounded and honest! We are in the midst of a beautiful week with more warm and sunny days... Continue Reading →
Less | A Month of Action
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 Last in May!
Friends, I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants this morning. I was all geared up to publish my favorite books so far this year and then it dawned on me as I snoozed through my alarm yesterday -- the end of May isn't the halfway point of the year. It's June. EEP! So... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | I’m Feeling More Like Myself
Happy Wednesday, friends! So far this week we've been enjoying sunny skies and lots of birds. I've added three birds to my life list (Magnolia Warbler, Killdeer, and the Belted Kingfisher), which is delightful. We are expecting rain this afternoon that will last through the evening, but that's okay. We've had plenty of time outside... Continue Reading →
