Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I have a confession: I haven't had any interest in reading in the last week or so. The Winter Solstice has been creeping in and I've been honoring my desire to slow down. This week's to-do list is massive and I've been balancing that with my need for rest, so reading has taken a backseat.... Continue Reading →
Hello! I'm so glad that I'd decided to skip Monday's post because things have been a bit off-kilter around here lately. I've had a bevy of sick kids since the end of last week and my daily rhythm has been different because of it. It's quite all right, of course, but it does make consistency... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Wednesday, friends. I'm starting to wrap my head around the fact that Christmas and the new year are just around the corner. That also means winter is nearly here and it's time to take stock of my indoor plans. I'm thinking about the stitching projects I have lined up as well as the... Continue Reading →
Good morning! I have to admit that I woke up this morning wanting more weekend. This weekend was one of zero expectations and no real "productivity" and I wish that the rest of December could be the same way. But we're all back to our regular routines today, which means that I will be back... Continue Reading →
Does it feel like winter anywhere else lately? It has been so cloudy and gray around here and has felt like a big snowfall is going to happen at any time. Luckily there's no snow forecasted until next week, so we can wait on the snow blowers a little while longer. And despite the cold... Continue Reading →
Hi friends! Can you believe that next week is Thanksgiving? It sneaks up on me every year. Maybe one day I'll get the hang of preparing for these holidays in advance but I haven't gotten there yet. Yikes! And we woke up to a blanket of snow and a 2 hour school delay for Colton... Continue Reading →
As I sat down to write this morning, our furnace roared to life for the first time this season. Yes -- we keep our heat absurdly low and I'm sure we could have used some heat in the house on the few sub-30 degree nights that we had in October. But as I type, it's... Continue Reading →
Thinking back to October, I'm reminded what a gorgeous month it was. It was an amazing start to fall - beautiful foliage, cloudy and rainy days. Perfect for curling up inside with a wonderful stack of books. It's fun to look back on October because November has started out decidedly un-fall like. It has been... Continue Reading →
Welcome to November, friends! While it looks like November in New Hampshire - everything is brown, the trees are bare - it hasn't felt like it. The highs have been in the mid-60s and that's felt relatively warm in the last week or so. I'm looking forward to a more crisp feeling! But every once... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends. There's only a handful of days left in October and I've been savoring these last few days before Halloween. The weather has been beautifully Halloween-y: rainy, cloudy, plenty of fog. The slippery leaves on the ground add an extra layer of eeriness! I have been so pleased by the fall this year....
