Hello everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was full -- busy with baking and cooking. Sometimes I don't enjoy those tasks, but I have been lately. I hope that feeling sticks for a while because it's a very big part of my job around here! And the best part is that the... Continue Reading →

Bookish Chatter | Is it Still March?
Yikes! I can't decide if March is flying or dragging -- it's been a tough one for me. Despite that, I've had an A+ week of reading which makes everything better, right? I'm here today to share what I've read since last Wednesday. I hope you have a hot beverage handy because it was full... Continue Reading →
A Cloudy Friday in March
Happy Friday! I am so pleased that we're nearing the weekend. The kids are almost completely back to themselves but the adults are still struggling with the cold we've had over the last week+.

Bookish Chatter | Two Slow & Steady Finishes; Two Backlist Titles; and A Start on the Women’s Prize

Here at our house, the power... Continue Reading →
At My Desk
What a weekend! Here in New Hampshire, it was relatively warm and sunny. A lot of snow melted so our driveway became Puddle City and, once again, plenty of mud has been tracked into the house. The work is never done! But it is so nice that the kids can get outside and burn off... Continue Reading →

February 2023 Reading Review
This weekend was full of time outside in the snow - it was wonderful (and exhausting)! Last week was winter vacation here in New Hampshire so we had very little structure, but it snowed nearly every day so there was plenty to keep us busy. And this morning was an awkward start -- I accidentally... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | A Stellar Week
Happy March 1st! March is considered spring in some parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Not in New Hampshire, but I take heart in knowing that so many of my blogging friends are seeing blooming crocuses and daffodils. I have had an embarrassingly stellar week of reading and have very little time this morning to write... Continue Reading →
