While we are technically on a school break for the next couple of weeks, we still have an unofficial Morning Time routine. We love sitting down together in the mornings to read just for fun and my kids go a little crazy without that time. So we often continue with the tradition even on break weeks, and especially around Christmas […]
Do you have an artist or maker in your life? You’d like to buy them a gift, but don’t really know what they’d like? Here’s a list of my tried and true suggestions. These are things I use day in and day out and I absolutely love them. I wouldn’t recommend them, otherwise. Membership to an instructive Class/ Website: My […]
I’m not sure whether it’s been caused by sleepless nights with a newborn or the busy-ness of the season, but I’ve found myself in a reading slump lately. While I’ve got plenty of ideas of books to read and even several checked out from the library, I have been struggling to actually finish books lately. I’m shocked to see so […]
In the last stages of my pregnancy with Edith, I was having severe problems with carpal tunnel and couldn’t work very long on my usual projects of choice. I could only handle knitting and intricate drawing for a few minutes at a time before my hands became painfully numb. So, obviously, another kind of project was needed (I can’t just […]
One of my kids’ favorite things to do as we approach a birthday, holiday or trip (or really just anything they’re looking forward to) is to create a countdown. Whether it’s marked by a paper ring that they tear off of a chain or an x on the calendar, they love to watch with anticipation as their big day draws […]
Since I took a blogging break after the arrival of our little Edith, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done a book post! Sit back and relax, I’ve got 19 books to tell you about. I’m going to keep it short and sweet because, well, 19 books. The Quotidian Mysteries Quotidian means everyday or mundane, which is a perfect […]
I had a blog post all ready to share with you today about what I’ve been creating in my sketchbook lately. I vividly remember saving it and even scheduling it to post this morning at 6am. I remember this vividly because I was feeling super on-the-ball about it and that is not a feeling I have very often these days. […]

I have a crush on November. This time of year holds so many of my favorite things: sweater weather and pumpkins, hot chocolate and falling leaves. I love the crisp air and dark, cozy evenings. But my absolute favorite thing about this time of year is the focus on gratitude. While society seems to skip straight from Halloween to Christmas, I […]
Remember the beautiful Sky Blanket that I began in January this year? Somehow I completely dropped the ball on that project. I wasn’t working on it every day, just listing on a page in my bullet journal what the weather was like each day, and then when I was in between projects I’d pick it up and play catch-up. When […]
