Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
(photo credit; Wendell Berry at his desk.) April is National Poetry Month in the US. I confess that I struggle with poetry and don't understand why poets make their decisions: Why divide your sentences in half like that? Why put in those random breaks? Huh. THAT was a poem? ^^ These are all questions that... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends! We're in the middle of a cloudy and rainy week here in central New Hampshire and that means more time for reading! I have a couple of finished books of my own plus a handful of chapter book readalouds to share with you today. I'm already on my second cup of coffee... Continue Reading →
Hello! This One Little Word update was meant to be published last Monday, but I was off doing Less and didn't manage to write it. Also: last week was just awful, wasn't it? I won't link to all of the news articles but it was another heartbreaking week here in the US, full of painful... Continue Reading →
Yikes! I can't decide if March is flying or dragging -- it's been a tough one for me. Despite that, I've had an A+ week of reading which makes everything better, right? I'm here today to share what I've read since last Wednesday. I hope you have a hot beverage handy because it was full... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday! I am so pleased that we're nearing the weekend. The kids are almost completely back to themselves but the adults are still struggling with the cold we've had over the last week+. I am still not sleeping well, have a nagging cough, and am full of sinus pressure and pain. I am hoping... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday! This post is being published a little late because I've been sleeping poorly and haven't been able to wake up as early as I'd like. This cough just won't go away and it's been keeping me up at night. I'm hoping that I'll be feeling better soon, but I want to stay caught... Continue Reading →
Thank you everyone for your well wishes in my last post. Colton is pretty much back to normal but the rest of us are struggling. And it always makes the weekends hard when one child isn't sick but the rest of us are. Colton was pretty bored and impatient with us, especially given that we... Continue Reading →
First of all - Thank you all for your well-wishes on Wednesday's post. Colton is still coughing, but he was fever-free yesterday so I'm pretty sure he's going to school today (for the first day this week!). I'm still fighting a fever but am feeling much better overall. And last night I was up and... Continue Reading →
It snowed all day yesterday. It was beautiful, but heavy and wet. That means that it is compacted and dense, which makes it difficult to measure the total and clearing it is going to be a total beast. It was the kind of snow that brings down power lines. Here at our house, the power... Continue Reading →
What a weekend! Here in New Hampshire, it was relatively warm and sunny. A lot of snow melted so our driveway became Puddle City and, once again, plenty of mud has been tracked into the house. The work is never done! But it is so nice that the kids can get outside and burn off... Continue Reading →
