Well, hello! I'm finishing up this post on a very cold Tuesday night. How is the weather where you are? It was -10ºF when I woke up this morning and -15º when I went upstairs for the kids.

Unraveled Wednesday | Week 3 of 2025
Hello, friends. I'm finalizing this entry on Tuesday afternoon. After finishing up today's morning session of school, I went on a quick walk and came back for a lunch break.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments on Monday's post! I've had a string of very good mornings so far and am hopeful for an adjustment in the kids' sleeping schedule. I don't want to jinx it, of course, but it feels like I can finally resume my quiet morning routine? It's been at least... Continue Reading →

Greetings from a rainy New Hampshire! We've had a dry spell over the last couple of weeks and I was delighted when rain came through overnight -- and when I realized that it was still raining this morning!

It’s Looking Like November | New Books in My Life + 6 Days
Friends, it is nearly November! And as you can see from my opening picture, our maple tree is feeling it. In less than one week, almost all of its leaves have dropped and the world around us is looking like November. The glowing oranges, reds, and yellows are dampening into more muted versions of themselves... Continue Reading →
