Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Friday! It's been such a strange week. I can confidently say that we're on the mend now but I still don't have the lung power to hop on my spin bike, which I've been missing lately. I'm looking forward to having everyone home this weekend without the cloud of illness hanging over us! I was... Continue Reading →
Thank you for all of the well wishes on Monday! Bryce and Bronwyn are feeling much better. The rest of us are working our way in that direction. Colton is still staying home from school, so he's had quite a long stretch of being sick (tomorrow will mark a full week). I'm hoping that he'll... Continue Reading →
This is my sixth year to choose a word for the year, believe it or not. Funnily enough, I feel like I've almost come full circle. My first word in 2018 was abundance and today I'm sharing my goal of less. And really - they are the same idea. They're about being content with what... Continue Reading →
Has the weather been strange in your neck of the woods? It has been so strange here! It's almost felt like spring - there's no snow on the ground, lots of rain, plenty of mud. I don't know what's in store for the rest of the winter, but I hope it's somewhat pleasant. Maybe we'll... Continue Reading →
I don't usually publish my posts this time of day, but things have been a little upside down since the holidays. No complaints and nothing bad, just different! I'm capitalizing on a surprising free moment to scribble out this post and to share my weekly book update with you all. This year's reading has started... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year! I meant to spend this weekend catching up on blogs and comments, but I spent almost no time at my computer. The weekend was full of baking, cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. and now I'm ready for the last day of our holiday before our typical routine resumes. Today's post is a quick... Continue Reading →
I don't think of myself as a prolific maker, but goodness - I am eclectic! No wonder I always feel so scatterbrained - I have so many interests and allow myself to get pulled in so many directions. And the following is the result! I've done my best to look at the pictures I've uploaded... Continue Reading →
I always hesitate to write these yearly wrap-ups before the year actually ends. What if the book I'm reading right now (Fellowship Point) deserves a spot on this list? (And it just might -- it is so good!) I suppose I could put it on next year's list if it stands the test of time?... Continue Reading →
This is my last check-in with Surrender! Like all of you - I am totally shocked that the year is ending. How did that happen? How have I written twelve of these updates? If you're interested, you can see all twelve here. And if you hover on "Word of the Year" above, you can read... Continue Reading →
It is definitely not looking like Christmas around here! Today's rain will wash away all of our snow, so we won't have a white Christmas for the first time in about a decade. Bah humbug, I say! I drafted this post yesterday but just deleted it all. It's pretty clear that I'm a little Grinchy... Continue Reading →
