Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Friends, I am so inspired by all of you. It seems like everyone is upping their blogging game and writing the coziest and most lovely posts - I am loving it! I'm dropping in today to share some pictures of life around here lately. We've been having afternoon teatime everyday and this makes me so... Continue Reading →
This week completely got away from me, but I still wanted to check in with all of you before the new week begins. This weekend was perfectly autumnal - the leaves are falling, there's a lovely mix of sun and clouds, and we can smell the fires from our neighbors' chimneys puffing away. I am... Continue Reading →
It is OCTOBER - my favorite month. The leaves are falling. The air is crisp. I'm drinking Just Elderflower tea by the pot. This is my idea of perfection! We closed our windows this week. I'll miss the fresh air in the house until we open them again in the late spring, but love how... Continue Reading →

This picture of my desk on Friday night illustrates my life right now. Empty notebooks. A closed laptop. Piles of paper that don't belong there. Library books buried in the detritus.

September is nearly here! But before we can step into early fall, we have to let go of August. I can't think of a better way to end a month than checking in with Carolyn and everyone's One Little Word. I've used this year to practice slowing down and cultivate stillness in my life. I...

Welp. It sure was another week, wasn't it? I kept things simple: we had the week off from school and I didn't put any pressure on us to do anything other than play, which made all the difference in the world given the state of things in the world. Today's post will also be super... Continue Reading →
I don't think anyone can say this is a particularly joyful weekend given the state of the world. I wanted to write this post yesterday but couldn't quite bring myself to do it. But of course, the point of this practice is to find joy even when it seems like there isn't any, so here... Continue Reading →
Oof - I didn't mean to take another week off from blogging. Yet here I am, bashfully reentering the blogosphere. For some reason, writing felt like an insurmountable task. I was bored with the blogging schedule I've been following for the last year and couldn't figure out how to break through the staleness, so today's... Continue Reading →
