Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
It feels cliché to say it, but April flew by - it feels like I was just sitting down to draft last month's post on my One Little Word. And because it's so easy to lose track of time, I'm so happy that Carolyn hosts a group of bloggers reflecting on their words on the... Continue Reading →

Friends! I'm here today to share the reading I've done in the last two weeks because I took last week off from blogging. Maybe it's because I've been feeling a bit stressed and overwhelmed, but I didn't really enjoy anything that I read. I still wanted to post about them to stay consistent and up-to-date...

Friends - thanks for all of the support during my current reshuffling. If you missed the post last week, I shared that we're in the midst of repainting and reflooring half of our house which has resulted in living in a world that feels upside down. My internal emotions are extremely tied to my external... Continue Reading →
