Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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. I can believe that it's Friday. And on the other... what is Friday? I can comprehend very little right now. I am... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Wednesday, friends. I'm starting to wrap my head around the fact that Christmas and the new year are just around the corner. That also means winter is nearly here and it's time to take stock of my indoor plans. I'm thinking about the stitching projects I have lined up as well as the... Continue Reading →
Good morning! I have to admit that I woke up this morning wanting more weekend. 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 →
