The first Friday in October is already here! Every month zooms by these days but Octobers seem to end especially quickly. I'm reminding myself that it's only the fourth and still - we're that much closer to the end of the month! But we're going to try to soak in the season this weekend by... Continue Reading →
September 2024 Reading Review
Happy October! This is it. We've finally made it to my favorite month. The leaves are changing and falling in earnest now; we are very near peak foliage in the mountains here in New Hampshire. These cooler, crisper months make me want to keep the espresso burbling in my moka pot, turn on the heating... Continue Reading →
Week 38 In My Notebook | 2024
Last week was perfectly fall-like! It was full of cloudy and rainy days and we were so lucky that Matthew was on vacation. Our week didn't work out as I'd planned; we tweaked things as we went along, spent a lot of time outside, and tried to take advantage of every opportunity to soak in... Continue Reading →
Friday | At the Apple Orchard; Hurricane Helene
Friends, this has been the week of weather I've been hoping for in New Hampshire. Cloudy, cool, and a lot of rain over the last few days. However, my excitement about the weather has been moderated given the course of Hurricane Helene. Several of my dear blogging friends are in its path and I am... Continue Reading →
October TBR | Journal Flip-Through
We are halfway through the last full week of September and has been such a lovely one. The weather has felt like fall, Matthew has been on vacation, and we're enjoying the fire pit in the evenings. We're also expecting rain tonight and all day tomorrow and I'm delighted! I'm sharing next month's TBR today... Continue Reading →

I am happy to share that the unrelenting sunshine of the last few weeks finally relented and we had a day full of clouds on Friday. Can you can imagine my happiness? And the weekend was perfect: a light... Continue Reading →
Friday | A Week Full of Books
(opening picture credit) Happy Friday! I am so glad the weekend is near and that Matthew is on vacation next week. It will be nice to have some help around the house in the evenings and we will be able to watch some television that we haven't been able to get to on the weekends,... Continue Reading →
I Made a YouTube Video
I did something really scary this week: I recorded a video and uploaded it on YouTube! It's planner season and many of us are considering our systems for next year. I've been a Hobonichi fan for so long and have decided that I'll be using an A5 Hon again next year. I've been chatting with... Continue Reading →
Week 36 In My Notebook | 2024
Monday! I must admit it was a beautiful weekend despite the unrelenting sunshine. We've had sunny days for over a week and I'm over it. It hasn't been hot, thank goodness, but I'm ready for a week with nothing but rain. Bring on the rainy days of fall! I know it sounds terrible to complain... Continue Reading →
Friday | Thank Goodness
(opening photo credit) I am so happy to say it is Friday! I said on Monday that it was going to be a strange week and it certainly was. My sleep was off, my exercise routine was off (which only exacerbates my poor sleep), Colton's sleep was off (which again, exacerbates certain frustrations around here),... Continue Reading →
