Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
In January I wrote about my intention to get walking every day. I failed. Miserably. I still haven't gone on a single walk. I tried one day but the trails were solid ice and I worried about falling with the baby in the carrier, even with spikes on my shoes. I sort of gave up... Continue Reading →
The snow has finally melted back enough for the crocuses to start poking through the ground! It's going to be a cold week, but those tender looking stalks are actually quite tough, so they'll be fine. The pussy willow hasn't started fuzzing yet, but I can't wait to clip some of those sweet little branches... Continue Reading →
We're nearly a quarter of the way through the year and it seems like everyone is taking stock of their blog goals - our original intentions versus what we've created as a result of our real lives. I don't know about you, but I feel adrift. I thought my goals for this year were simple:... Continue Reading →
About 3 weeks ago I wrote about Digital Minimalism and set a few goals for myself. Since then, I've been more thoughtful about my use of social media. I hated the fact that I found myself scrolling Twitter when I was sitting with my children. Not only is it dehumanizing to them, but I'm so... Continue Reading →
On Monday I wrote about the reminder to PAUSE when the unexpected crops up. Well, the unexpected continued to crop up because it was a full week of vomiting for my little family of 5, which meant that nothing went as expected. As of today, I'm out of clean sweatpants and our towel supply is... Continue Reading →
I have been trying to write every day and publish a blog post most days of the week, but my life hasn't been cooperating! Just this morning I woke up at 4am to write my morning pages and to login to WordPress, but my littlest baby wasn't too happy with that. So I spent an... Continue Reading →
It's not often that I can think of a chore that gives me time back. One that increases my calm by tenfold and allows me to cuddle up on the couch and crack open a good book or swipe open my Kindle. But, readers rejoice - here's something that takes 15-20 minutes a day (max) and I can... Continue Reading →
I'm 35 years old today. I've sat here and stared at that number for a little while, trying to figure out how I feel about it. On one hand, it looks ancient. I'm halfway between my 20s and 40s - how did that happen? On the other hand, it looks like I'm still a spring... Continue Reading →
Lately I've been thinking about Maria Popova's interview with Krista Tippett that aired two years ago. I've been wanting to listen to it again but have found it difficult to find the right moment. But when I started this morning's pancakes and tapped into my podcast app to find something to listen to, guess what... Continue Reading →
There are so many distractions pulling our attention away from the things that we find truly important. I know that I want to spend time being present with my family, reading as much as I can, and cultivating a steady writing routine. But I spend a lot of time on my phone, especially on apps...
