Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Today is Carolyn's first official link-up for our 2023 words! Please visit her and all of the other one little worders sharing their reflections this week. I'm really excited about my word (Less) because I feel like it gives me a ton of flexibility. Yes -- my main goals are less clutter, less spending, and... Continue Reading →
Some of you may remember when The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt Book was first published back in 2009. It got really popular in quilting circles around 2013 and 2014 and Quiltstagram exploded with beautiful examples like Camille Roskelley's. While going through things in my little sewing nook, I found a box full of my own... Continue Reading →
I didn't do a bookish update last week so I'm going to try to quickly catch up on what I've been reading. And I mean quick: it's 4:45 and Colton is already awake so my time is very short! Books Finished in the Last Two Weeks: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow seemed like an epic... Continue Reading →

They spend the early autumn building up reserves of the liquid brown fat that make them squishy to the touch; as Hazel shows me, you can leave fingerprints on a hibernating dormouse, so fluid is the layer of fat underneath its...

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 →
