Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Good morning, friends. Last week I worried that spring would never actually arrive, but I'm happy to report that it might get here after all. Earlier this week was perfect for getting outside and investigating the flowers, despite being on the cool side. Yesterday brought some scattered showers while today's rain is forecasted to be...

You guys. This week. It's been difficult to keep my head above water! I started to list all of my little challenges, but then deleted them. That's not what these Friday posts are about! Instead, won't you pour a warm drink and pine for spring and talk books with me? Hyacinths Crocuses Tulips This week... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday, friends. I've spent this week trying to get back on track in the kitchen, reading a ton, and spending as much time outside as the weather has allowed. I even managed around an hour of sewing that produced results, if you can believe that. I can't wait to show you a few things!... Continue Reading →
We've made it to another Friday. These last few months have been hard, both out in the wide world and because of weird things happening here at home. And despite knowing that there's no real difference between my weeks and my weekends, I still sigh with relief at the very idea of Fridays. I'm happy... Continue Reading →
Last week I was so happy to share that the snow had pulled back from the house just enough to reveal a few tulip tips. This week, we're under a fresh blanket of snow and have braved some very cold temperatures. But that quick thaw in February gave me so much hope for spring, despite... Continue Reading →
The last Friday in February! How can that be? Matthew has been on vacation this week and it's been enjoyable (and helpful!) to have him home in the evenings. Overall, this has been a challenging week. Just as our colds were clearing up, the stomach bug hit us. Last Thursday, Colton came home with it.... Continue Reading →
Today is my 38th birthday! Matthew had arranged for his sister to watch the kids around lunchtime so that we could go out to eat together for the first time since March 2019 - a full year before the pandemic even began. Yesterday we decided it wise that we cancel because we are both battling... Continue Reading →
Friends, despite some freezing rain and snow on Tuesday morning, it's been a delightfully sunny and warm week. We've even gotten above freezing a time or two! The birds have been busy at our window feeder, the cats have been frolicking in the house, and I've been soaking up the sunshine with a warm cup... Continue Reading →
Oh friends, I am so fickle. I have changed planners again! The Traveler's Notebook served me well since September 2020, but I've been craving something a bit more like my old Hobonichi Cousin, but smaller and without the daily pages. I missed having a place where I could keep a running to-do list! Juliann introduced... Continue Reading →
On Mondays I share pictures from my notebooks. It's been a lovely way to stay accountable to keeping them up to date and it's helped to look at my time and habits in a holistic way. I documented a bright and colorful week, which means that it was full of variety! Materials used: Travelers Notebook... Continue Reading →
