Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Hello! This weekend was something. Other than working at the library on Saturday, I spent nearly the entire time either cooking/cleaning or outside.

Friends, it is nearly November! And as you can see from my opening picture, our maple tree is feeling it. In less than one week, almost all of its leaves have dropped and the world around us is looking like November. The glowing oranges, reds, and yellows are dampening into more muted versions of themselves... Continue Reading →
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...

Good morning, friends! My notebooks are all telling me that today is Friday and that feels impossible. This week has flown by so quickly and the time has slipped away. 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 →
