Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Friends -- it is Friday! And the Friday before February Vacation for the schools here in New Hampshire. Colton got sent home from school with a fever yesterday (no fever or symptoms today) so his vacation got started about a day and a half early since they require students to be fever free for 24...

Happy Friday, friends! The wind is blowing hard outside right now as we prepare for another round of storms this weekend. But the sky is bright blue and we're about to head out for a trip to Sam's Club despite the wind and I wanted to check in before I sign off for the weekend.... Continue Reading →
Friends, I've been telling Matthew that this year feels apocalyptic even before the fires started in LA. The terrorist attack in New Orleans and the exploding Tesla in Las Vegas were ominous enough; now the South has frozen over and fires are devastating LA. We laid to rest the president who was arguably the most... Continue Reading →
I'm working hard to take the message of Wednesday's post to heart.

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 →
Friends, I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants this morning. I was all geared up to publish my favorite books so far this year and then it dawned on me as I snoozed through my alarm yesterday -- the end of May isn't the halfway point of the year. It's June. EEP! So... Continue Reading →
You know what those are, right? Those are crocus blades! I took this picture on Monday and, although the crocuses have been recovered with snow, I know that they are down there and patiently waiting for spring. And that makes everything a little bit better. I signed off on Wednesday promising a Friday post and,... Continue Reading →
