Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
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 →
Happy Fall! Yesterday was the Autumnal Equinox so we can officially say the season has begun. 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 →
(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 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 →
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.

(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 →
This weekend was practically magical. Friends, it feels like fall out there! Yesterday was especially cool and breezy, so the kids and I spent almost the entire day outside. And last night my husband got the fire pit going and we were all delighted. I think we're expecting a slight warm-up this week but nothing... Continue Reading →
Thank you to Sarah for this opening picture! She sent me a link to the gorgeous Fisher Fine Arts Library at Penn, one of her favorite study places. That link is full of the most amazing pictures and I fell in love. And if you have a favorite library, will you let me know? I'm... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends! I feel silly about my weather rant on Monday because this week has turned out picture perfect. In fact, I decided it was time to transition to hot lattes in the morning so I dug out my immersion blender to froth up some warm milk while my moka pot burbled away on... Continue Reading →
"I feel entirely demoralized by the sun now, and wish for fog, snow, rain, humanity." Virginia Woolf letter to Edward Sackville-West, 9/22/1926 Listen, I hate to complain. But we hit a muggy patch yesterday and it really irritated me. I had no idea Virginia Woolf was such a fan of dreary days but this woman... Continue Reading →
