Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Although I wasn't ready for the weekend to end, I'm in a much better mental place this Monday than I was last week. The weather this weekend was chilly and windy, which made playing in the backyard extra fun for the kiddos. The warmth from our time at the firepit on Saturday evening was especially...

Tuesday! Friends, I'm publishing today's post a little late. Yesterday morning didn't go as planned and I was never able to find a way to fit this blog post into the day, so I'm doing the best I can to make this work. It was shocking to write Week 41 in today's title given that... Continue Reading →

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 →
Last week was perfectly fall-like! It was full of cloudy and rainy days and we were so lucky that Matthew was on vacation.

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 →
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 →
"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 →
Goodbye to the most perfect weekend! Cool and sunny on Saturday, lots of rain on Sunday. It felt like the best of both worlds! We are finally settling into the season and I'm so happy about that. I am feeling more and more like myself every day and I know that for two reasons: I... Continue Reading →
