Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Happy Friday morning! How are we all surviving this cold snap? It's been quite frigid in New Hampshire, but I've been wearing leggings under my jeans and four layers of tops (tank top, sweater, another sweater, and then a big coat) for my daily walks and have survived quite nicely despite days with sub zero...

Good morning from a very cold New Hampshire. We are in the midst of a string of frigid days with wind chills below zero and are staying warm with homemade lattes, hot chocolates, and lots of warm woolens! I hope you're also staying warm wherever you are. It has been a long time since I've... Continue Reading →
Good morning, friends! We've nearly made it through the first week of 2025. Over here, it's been cold and cozy. I'm in the basement this morning with my morning journaling and yoga completed and hoping for enough time to give you a quick update on things around here. So let's jump in! My opening picture...

I'm working hard to take the message of Wednesday's post to heart. It's difficult for me to not jump into new goals and aspirations on January 1st given my oldest child syndrome and perfectionistic tendencies. I experience quite a bit of panic at the beginning of the year given my personality and past -- what... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year! My New Year's Eve was nice and quiet. Matthew had to work for a good chunk of it (2pm-10:30pm) but made it home for midnight. I was actually awake for the big moment which is highly unusual for me. I spent most of the evening watching Fellowship of the Ring, responding to... Continue Reading →
Wow - my next blog post will be in 2025. What a thing to write! I can't believe a whole year has gone by and we are on the cusp of another. I've sat down several times today to write this post and have been pulled away each time, so let's see if I can... Continue Reading →
Hello! Just a quick drop-in to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah. I have spent the morning roasting vegetables for a Christmas salad, baking candy cane cookies that have become a tradition since Mary shared her recipe with me, planning when I'm going to get an opportunity to clean the house, and...

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is to read about everyone's reading goals for next year. Looking back at my blog, I can see that I didn't actually set any goals in 2024 because I was in a super reading funk at the end of 2023. That mood set me on a... Continue Reading →
Friends, sorry for skipping my Friday updates lately. It seems like I've been running out of steam for the last few weeks! But here I am, morning session of school finished, a walk done, lunch eaten, and am settled at the table before getting on with the rest of the day. I am trying to... Continue Reading →
I've been keeping daily quotes in my notebooks since September 1st of this year and then sharing them here once the month is over. Inspired by the community at Noted who experimented with this in September, I meant to stop at the end of the month but had so much fun that I kept going!... Continue Reading →
