Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
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 →

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.

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 →
"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 →
