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,...

Hello June
June! I guess it's really summer now? It has certainly felt like it this week. I have been plodding along with nothing out of the ordinary to share here, which is probably a good thing.

Happy Wednesday! I'm thrilled to share that I've actually finished reading a couple of books this week and that I might be moving past my reading funk?

Spring Magic
I didn't mean to disappear last week! I think you all know that I've been in something of a funk and I decided to try pushing the reset button by giving myself a break. I'm not sure if it helped but it was wonderful to just enjoy the spring weather we've been having. To get... Continue Reading →
