Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
We just finished the last full week of 2019! How can that be?! This has been an amazing year for me in so many ways. But I'm looking forward to 2020 and for nature's cycle to begin again. Today we're being blanketed in snow and in a few months we'll start to see the crocuses... Continue Reading →
Today I'm sharing the statistics that I've collected on my reading for 2019. It feels safe to do now because I don't think I'm going to finish anything else this year! Strictly by the numbers, this is the best reading year of my life. I can credit that to really focusing on reading and making... Continue Reading →

There's still cleaning and cooking to do, but at least we have until Wednesday and my husband is off until Thursday. It will be a team effort! I did my best to soak... Continue Reading →

But the other day, my oldest wrapped himself in blankets on the couch, screamed "Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!" until I appeared in the doorway... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, readers and knitters. Wednesdays are when I do a double link up because they make such a lovely pair: Kat at As Kat Knits hosts a superb group of readers and knitters for Unraveled Wednesdays; andSam at Taking on a World of Words hosts WWW Wednesdays. The Wednesdays stand for What are you... Continue Reading →
I love living in New Hampshire - long winters with short days mean that I don't have to feel guilty when I put the littles to bed early and then curl up on the couch with a book. That's so much harder to do when the days are long! The flowers and gardens are lovely... Continue Reading →
