Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
If you can believe it, today is the last Monday in August so I'm here to check in with my word of the year, Surrender. Thank you to Carolyn for hosting this merry band of One Little Worders. She does such a beautiful job of creating a space for us to gather and to encourage... Continue Reading →
Hello to the last Friday in August. We've nearly made it through this month, friends. Can you believe it? September - here I come. Apple picking, apple pies, foliage, drives through the mountains, hot chocolate, and cozy time under my quilts? Yes, please! AND this week has been full of surprises and gifts. I'm sharing...

Hello to you! This has been a strange week because Colton's treatment center was closed on Monday and we had a nice long weekend with him at home. Now I feel like today is Tuesday, except it's not. Today is Wednesday, which is when I talk about books! I have a couple of finished Booker... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday, friends. I hope your weekend treated you well. Ours was lovely - on the warmer side (up to 90*F), but the humidity level has gone way down and that makes a big difference. We stayed close to home and made the most of our shady maple tree. I even had a little quiet... Continue Reading →
This is the second to last Friday in August; I was just dreading the beginning of this month and now it's almost over. How does that always happen?! We are really noticing the shortening of days lately and it's strange to be up before the birds in the mornings. And I still love being a... Continue Reading →
We have passed the halfway point of August -- my most dreaded month. Last week's reading report was a big one and I'm happy to say that I've calmed down a bit and have a more modest helping to share. And that's a good thing because I don't have a ton of time to write... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! It's been a long time since I've shared a picture of my notebook. In fact, I don't think I've shared this year's notebook at all despite it being a regular Monday feature for a very long time. Today I'm thinking about 2023 and what makes sense for my notebook-loving heart. Won't you join... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday, dear friends. I hope this week has treated you well and you're looking forward to the weekend. I'm sharing a little garden news, a small knitting update, and a smattering of other joyful things that have struck my fancy this week. The temperature at my house this morning is totally appropriate for a... Continue Reading →
Happy Thursday! You don't usually hear from me on Thursdays but I'm interrupting my regularly scheduled program for an update on our discussion of The Shell Seekers. There’s a small group of us reading The Shell Seekers in August and we’re itching to discuss it. I have been worried about spoiling the book for anyone else and... Continue Reading →
How can it possibly be Wednesday again?! This week has gone by in a blur, probably because I've had my nose stuck in a book during every conceivable second. Remember how I always say that I ebb and flow? Sometimes I can't imagine reading anything and sometimes I can't do anything but read? Well... proceed... Continue Reading →
