Welcome to Monday, friends. I hope you were able to find some time for the things you love over the weekend. Mine was full of baking and cleaning, with a small helping of reading. I went on walks, alone and with an assortment of the children. Over all -- it was the best weekend possible... Continue Reading →
Reading is Resistance
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hate so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." - James Baldwin None of my blog posts have gone to plan this week and I suppose that's to be expected. Today's and Wednesday's posts were... Continue Reading →
You Are Not Alone
We decided to visit a new-to-us trail on Monday afternoon. I have been pretty sick for the last week and haven't been able to do my typical spin workouts so I thought a walk would be a good substitute.

Week 43 In My Notebook | 2024
Although I wasn't ready for the weekend to end, I'm in a much better mental place this Monday than I was last week. The weather this weekend was chilly and windy, which made playing in the backyard extra fun for the kiddos. The warmth from our time at the firepit on Saturday evening was especially...

I don't have a lot to report, so this will be a fast post. Today I'm sharing an update on our maple tree, a glimpse... Continue Reading →
Thank you!
I was planning to share two finished knitting projects today but wasn't able to add the final touches to them over the weekend as planned. So today I just want to write a very quick post to say thank you to all of you... My post on Monday was grumpy and pessimistic and so many... Continue Reading →

We spent so much time outside, used the fire pit on Saturday and Sunday, and went on a lovely ride to a nearby lake to enjoy the foliage a little longer. And more personally, I managed to finish two books, am... Continue Reading →
