Last Tuesday I gave an update on the flora in my world and today I'm writing about the fauna! I think some of you know that I have a bit of a fantasy for the homesteading life despite the fact that I'm inherently lazy. We have a few outside animals that are low maintenance and... Continue Reading →
Hobonichi Weeks – Week 15 of 2020
Friends, I'm here to wish you a happy Monday. I hope you had an Easter weekend filled with sunshine. It was sunny here, but also very windy and cold! We spent a lot of time outside, but in small chunks with plenty of time to warm up inside. Easter was lovely - the kids enjoyed... Continue Reading →
Friday Cozies – Week 15 of 2020
Happy Friday, friends. I hope this week has treated you well and you're able to put your feet up and get cozy this weekend. This week has gone by really quickly for me -- there's no slowing down during the day as soon as the kids are up. I'm lucky to have them because they've... Continue Reading →

That's just not the case here - everything is still pretty brown, but we do... Continue Reading →

Friday Cozies – Week 14 of 2020
Week 3 of remote learning will wrap up today! Three weeks of being at home with everyone, doing my best to limit time in front of screens, constantly tidying despite knowing that it's useless, and waiting on bedtime. We've managed to dodge the raindrops every day this week and get in some good outside playing,... Continue Reading →
Q1 2020 Reading Update – By the Numbers
Can you believe that we're a quarter of the way through 2020?! It's been the weirdest year. You'd think that my reading would increase with everything shut down, but I've found it difficult to sustain my concentration and I'm so tired in the evenings during my typical reading time! Nevertheless, I've had an excellent reading... Continue Reading →
