Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I've always been hesitant to read poetry. I don't know enough about how poems are built to really understand the intricacies poets pour into their work, so I've always felt like I was missing most of what's happening. But I've been working hard to read more poetry over the last couple of years and have... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday, friends. Today is a big day for me: this morning's journal entry marked day 365 of journaling. I'm here today to share a few thoughts about how things have shifted for me over the last year and my journaling plans for the future. One year ago, I crawled out of bed earlier than...

This is my first Unraveled Wednesday in quite a while! I'm joining with Kat and friends to share what I've been reading and knitting lately. I took a little break from knitting, but today I'm back with one finished project and one fresh, new sweater on the needles. And first, I have a stack of... Continue Reading →

I'm still riding a good reading wave and can't wait to chat about the three books I've finished since we last gathered to talk books and reading.

Whew! I'm not sure if I'm ready to start another week, if I'm honest. Last week was a doozy, wasn't it? But here I am on a Monday morning, taking just a little bit of time to look at the week that just ended. I'm not going to break down my time like I usually... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday! Each week I gather bits of joy to share here and I've been surrounded with sweet moments that I'm excited to write down. + Picture this: Bronwyn standing at the piano with a picture book in the music stand, upside down, and playing as though reading sheet music. Joy, my friends! + Colton... Continue Reading →
It's been yet another wonderful week of reading. On Monday I wrote that I'm riding a wave of wanting to read nearly everything and that continues to be the case. I want to curl up on the couch with a hot cup of coffee and just dig through a stack of books every chance I... Continue Reading →
