Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life

Fridays are about reveling in the joyous... Continue Reading →
Monday! I have woken up with extremely swollen nasal passages which are probably caused by all of the incredibly beautiful spring-like weather we've had over the last week. Honking like a duck is a small price to pay for all of the flowers that are finally blooming around me. We spent so much time outside... Continue Reading →
My 2021 notebook angst continues! I'm at a crossroads this week and am working through two formats. Keep reading to take a peek at what I've been working on.
