Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
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. I feel so lucky to be able to homeschool and wouldn't trade it for anything. I know that breaks are just as important as routines so... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday, friends! It is the last Friday of April. This month totally zoomed by and I'm shocked that Monday is the first of May. I try my best to make Fridays about joy here in my Cozy Burrow, so today's post is full of flowers, stitching, and a few highlights from the week. I... Continue Reading →

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.

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 →
I don't even know what to say about the last few weeks. We have been busy wrapping up a few things for school because we will be taking a break next week! Colton will also be home from school so I expect that we'll be spending every spare minute outside and playing. I need to... Continue Reading →
Monday! I have woken up with extremely swollen nasal passages which are probably caused by all of the incredibly beautiful spring-like weather we've had over the last week. Honking like a duck is a small price to pay for all of the flowers that are finally blooming around me. We spent so much time outside... 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 →
