I have a confession: I haven't had any interest in reading in the last week or so. The Winter Solstice has been creeping in and I've been honoring my desire to slow down. This week's to-do list is massive and I've been balancing that with my need for rest, so reading has taken a backseat.... Continue Reading →
Mandolin Blocks – 7 out of 20 | Leaders/Enders Project
Welcome to a snowy Friday in New Hampshire! I was expecting to wake up to much more snow but plenty seems to be on the way today. Colton's school preemptively closed last night so we're not expecting to go anywhere and we have a big pot of chili ready to get us through. I hope... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Rereading and Two Prizes
Hello! I'm so glad that I'd decided to skip Monday's post because things have been a bit off-kilter around here lately. I've had a bevy of sick kids since the end of last week and my daily rhythm has been different because of it. It's quite all right, of course, but it does make consistency... Continue Reading →
A Junction Update | Harikuyo | Chai
Good morning! Can you believe that it's Friday? This has been one of those weeks that has been agonizingly slow while also flying by. Know what I mean? So on one hand, yes.

This weekend was one of zero expectations and no real "productivity" and I wish that the rest of December could be the same way. But we're all back to our regular routines today, which means that I will be back... Continue Reading →
Friday Finish | Bear Paw Socks
Welcome to December! This week, month, year... it has all flown by. We'll blink and it will be 2023 -- how is that possible?! I mentioned it on Wednesday, but it's been such a cloudy and gray week around here and it's been perfect for enjoying my newest pair of socks! I've barely gone a... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Two New Releases and Plenty of Readalouds
Does it feel like winter anywhere else lately? It has been so cloudy and gray around here and has felt like a big snowfall is going to happen at any time. Luckily there's no snow forecasted until next week, so we can wait on the snow blowers a little while longer. And despite the cold... Continue Reading →
Surrender | November 2022
Welcome back! I hope all of my friends in the States had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week. We had a lovely spread on Thursday that lasted us through the weekend. What an excess! And totally worthwhile. Now I'm feeling rejuvenated and ready to check in with my one little word for the year. As always... Continue Reading →
A Break
Just a quick note to let you know that I've decided to take this week off from blogging. I wish I could spend it like August the cat in the opening picture, but I don't expect to! I hope all of my American friends have a lovely Thanksgiving and that everyone reading has a week... Continue Reading →
