Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
What a weekend! I don't think the weather could have been more perfect. We spent massive chunks of time outside and braved the arrival of all of the bugs because the sunshine was too good to pass up. I watched a good bit of the coronation with Colton at my side on Saturday morning. What... Continue Reading →
We are expecting some peeks of sunshine today! It feels like the last two weeks have been a solid wall of rain, but my notebook reminds me of pockets of sunshine and plenty of outside time despite that. And the weather seems to be shifting out of this rainy patch and moving towards some sunnier... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday! We are in the middle of another very rainy week; we even had thunderstorms yesterday! A good thunderstorm is one of the things I miss about living in Texas so it's always exciting when I hear the rumbling. The flowers I planted a few weeks ago are extraordinarily happy with all of this... Continue Reading →
Today is May 1st! It's a return to our typical routine and I am so relieved because I've missed sitting at the table and learning along with the kids.

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 →
April is National Poetry Month in the US and I've chosen to honor it by sharing a special poem each week. So far I've shared poems on How to be a Poet and opening the doorway into thanks. Today I'm sharing a poem that has stuck with me since I first read it; a poem... Continue Reading →
