Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I like to spend Monday mornings looking back on the last week. It's so fun to document my days, even though they are relatively quiet and simple. I'm still enjoying the Travelers Notebook weekly insert. Instead of using colored pencils, I ordered another pack of my favorite pastel highlighters - Pilot Highlighter Frixion Light. I...

I spend all week reading a poem or two a day, thinking that I won't find the perfect one to share on Sunday. And then - it arrives. Just in the knick of time. I would not have been a poetexcept that I have been in lovealive in this mortal world,or an essayist except that... Continue Reading →

Last Friday I shared that I'm working hard to put together a space in the basement for sewing. I mentioned the display cases along two walls that the previous owner used for displaying Matchbox Cars (or maybe they were Hot Wheels? I can't say for sure) and how difficult it's been for me to figure... Continue Reading →

My 2020 word is Present (click here to view all of my posts on this topic this year). Today I'm sharing... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago I shared that September is a hard month for me, but it's for a silly reason. This is the time of year when I go into major angst mode about next year's notebooks. Every week I think I have it figured out, and then I change my mind again. And again.... Continue Reading →
What do the tall trees sayTo the late havocs in the sky?They sigh.The air moves, and they sway.When the breeze on the hillIs still, then they stand still.They wait.They have no fear. Their fateIs faith. BirdsongIs all they've wanted, all along.This Day: Collected & New Sabbath Poems by Wendell Berry An introduction to today's post... Continue Reading →
Friends, we've made it to another Friday. There seems to be no reprieve from heartache, injustice, and fear this year; yet I'm trying to do my job as a mother: to give my children a safe and cozy place to learn and grow and to live a life that makes the world a better place. There's a lot of work to do. But on Fridays I share some of the pictures I've taken throughout the last week and write a few words about what's been going on around The Cozy Burrow, so let's catch up a bit.
It's Wednesday - so I'm linking up with Kat at As Kat Knits to share what I've been reading and knitting this week. Kat hosts Unraveled Wednesday each week and it's a great opportunity to find lots of inspiration and recommendations. Please visit her blog and the other bloggers participating! This week, I'm sharing two... Continue Reading →
