Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I like to ease into Monday mornings by looking over my last week and thinking about my week ahead. As you can see from the picture below, I didn't quite get to use my Hobonichi Weeks as I had anticipated. My middle bug moved a dining room chair to reach up to the high shelf... Continue Reading →
Have you ever heard of a morning basket? It's a concept that's big in the homeschooling community - it's a basket of books and activities that help the family ease into a day of learning and fun. Well, I have my own version of a mommy morning basket. It sits in a dark corner of... Continue Reading →
We are halfway through December! Christmas is less than ten days away - I hope you're feeling peace and calm and not frenzy. Now that I type these words, I'm feeling my heartbeat tick up just a bit when I think of all of the wrapping and prepping that I still need to do. But... Continue Reading →

The news cycle is unrelenting. I find myself getting lost in the endless loop of Twitter - the same heartbreaking news stories and pictures, with several hundred different outraged people attached to them.

What a strange week! We're all continuing to get over a cold that knocked us flat last week, but I want to check in on my week's productivity nonetheless. I've been using my Hobonichi Techo Cousin to religiously track my time spent on various goals. I'm not sure if it's actually going to help me... Continue Reading →
It is September! How did that happen??! I hope you and your family have escaped the floods in Texas unscathed. You might know that I grew up in Southeast Texas, near Beaumont. Don't worry -- my family and friends are all okay and have managed to make it through without a ton of damage. It's... Continue Reading →
