Summer Book Stack

It’s time. It’s time to patio read, bed read, deck read, lounge chair read, hammock read, porch read, tree house read, side of the swimming pool read (sans splashing children) … You get the idea!

Family Book Day: Outside In

Today, we had our first family book day of the summer. We kind of love this little summer tradition that we have cooked up over the last few years. First, we choose a book and enjoy it together first thing in the morning. Then, we plan a day of activities inspired by the book. Last […]

Cozy

I have been enjoying this book for a couple of weeks, picking it up here and there, whenever I was feeling the need to indulge in something without conflict or plot for a few quiet minutes. The entire book is dedicated to the things that make this author feel cozy. Why hadn’t I thought of […]
