Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
When I checked in with you on Monday, I left with the hope that the kids and dog would be amenable to hiding out under the air conditioner this week given the forecast. I'm here to share that the answer to that question was a big, fat NO. We've spent so much time outside and... Continue Reading →
Hello, there. I know this is the second Friday in August, but it feels so strange. On one hand, I can't believe that it's already the second week of August. On the other, I am so ready for August to be over. August is my least favorite month: it just seems to drag for me,... Continue Reading →
We are creeping closer to Fall, however slowly. Today's post will be a rush job yet again, but I am trying to be a consistent blogger and that means breaking the ice in messy ways. I'm going to keep it simple again and focus on home stuff, knitting, and reading. Maybe there's a nifty acronym... Continue Reading →
I was planning to share two finished knitting projects today but wasn't able to add the final touches to them over the weekend as planned. So today I just want to write a very quick post to say thank you to all of you... My post on Monday was grumpy and pessimistic and so many... Continue Reading →

I hope you're also seeing signs of the changing season wherever you are because we... Continue Reading →
Can we take a moment to say hello to September? Hello, September! You all know that I'm ready for fall and am over the moon about this new month. This week saw a sudden shift in the weather - Monday and Tuesday were in the 90s and yesterday's high was 73! I'm not sure how... Continue Reading →
Hello dearies (or dearie squearies, as I call my little ones). It's Friday and we've completed our second full week of nearly everyone being sick at the same time, with no end in sight. Today's post is just going to ignore all of that and pretend like it's not happening, okay? Instead - let's talk... Continue Reading →
Today I'm sharing the first grade curricula we're using for the upcoming school year. There are so many homeschooling philosophies out there and I can't even pretend to understand them all. I'm drawn to two: Charlotte Mason and Classical Education. Charlotte Mason was a Victorian-era advocate for homeschooling. I'm most interested in her ideas around... Continue Reading →
