Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
What a weekend! I don't think the weather could have been more perfect. We spent massive chunks of time outside and braved the arrival of all of the bugs because the sunshine was too good to pass up. I watched a good bit of the coronation with Colton at my side on Saturday morning. What... Continue Reading →
It is the Friday before school vacation week! We're taking the week off from Blackberry Bluff School and Colton will be on a break from all of his programs. It might sound like a vacation but I'll likely be busier than ever and will yearn for a vacation of my own once the week ends.... Continue Reading →
It's Saturday! I meant to publish this post at some point yesterday, but the whole day was a whirlwind. So I'm here today with a little stitching update. I haven't been stitching a ton over the last few weeks, but I have a gorgeous new tool, a little progress, and some plans to share. I... Continue Reading →
Has the weather been strange in your neck of the woods? It has been so strange here! It's almost felt like spring - there's no snow on the ground, lots of rain, plenty of mud.

And although the year has flown by, December seems like it has lasted forever thanks to illnesses and shifts in everyone's daily rhythms. I suppose it's nice that the holiday season feels much longer than usual,... Continue Reading →
Not only has Saturday snuck up on me again -- but so has Christmas! As I type this, I have breakfast casseroles in the oven and we're waiting for two guests to arrive to open gifts. We're expecting ice and snow today, so we will try to stay cozy inside with good food and movies.... Continue Reading →
There were messes. But would you expect any less? Luckily I managed to get the kids to go through their rooms a couple of weeks ago and clear out some space for Santa's special deliveries this year. So that's something. But we have to get on wrapping and menu planning, which we always leave to... Continue Reading →
Saturday! How quickly you arrived this week! We're having some freezing rain as I type this and it's been such a cold week... that means we did everything we could to stay as cozy as possible. French Meat Pie So it was a week of turning on the oven to keep the house warm: French... Continue Reading →
