Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Thank you all for the encouragement lately! It's a rainy school vacation week and we're all going just a little bit stir-crazy. To top it off, Matthew's work schedule changed on Monday and Tuesday so I was parenting solo from noon through bedtime. Not ideal but we all survived and things are going back to...

Welcome to the last week of April, if you can believe it! I hope your weekend treated you well; we spent most of Saturday playing outside but it rained all day yesterday and it's forecasted to continue most of the week.* The rain presents a special challenge because it's school vacation week, so I'm thinking...

It is the Friday before school vacation week! We're taking the week off from Blackberry Bluff School and Colton will be on a break from all of his programs. It might sound like a vacation but I'll likely be busier than ever and will yearn for a vacation of my own once the week ends.... Continue Reading →

Hello! I must tell you that yesterday was the most gorgeous day. We spent almost the entire afternoon outside and planted a ton of flowers from our local nursery. I could not have asked for a more perfect April day and today's forecast predicts the same. What luck! I wanted to update you on a... Continue Reading →
I'm back with another poem to commemorate National Poetry Month. Today I'm sharing my favorite Mary Oliver poem; I know I've posted it before but I couldn't help but write about it again today. I have this poem taped up on the windowsill by my computer and read it multiple times a week, as I... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone's week is off to a great start. Ours has been moving forward with a few hitches. Yesterday Bronwyn and I were feeling under the weather and spent most of the afternoon on the couch watching Marvel movies. I'm feeling much better this morning and hope that Bronwyn wakes up the...

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was full -- busy with baking and cooking. Sometimes I don't enjoy those tasks, but I have been lately. I hope that feeling sticks for a while because it's a very big part of my job around here! And the best part is that the... Continue Reading →
