pickMostly I got this because I love The Lazy Genius Podcast and I wanted to support Kendra. But as with anything, there were a few gems to take away.
My July #BookSpin that I actually read in July and has been sitting in a pile of books to post to Litsy since then.
My #autumncomfortswap box came in!! Can‘t wait to open it! @thebacklistbook
My favorite Summer-themed book! I just love Susan Branch! #LitsyLoveBingo. #LitsyLove

pickOne of the first books I ever read on making a house a home. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, clutter and chaos was the norm. This book was life changing for twentysomething me. Rereading all these years later, I'm surprised at how many things are part of my routines. Yes, it's a bit dated and pretentious in places, but it taught me so much: seasonal eating, flowers in the house, and setting a pretty table. 🌸
I did a thing. I ventured out this weekend to see my daughter in Providence. We went to the Athenæum and then to Aleppo Sweets for some Arabic coffee with cardamom and of course some baklava. The Athenæum had a sale so I got 6 books for less than $10!!! No anxiety. It was lovely.
I appreciate the irony that some of my clutter consists of multiple issues of a magazine dedicated to making life simpler. They used to occupy two shelves plus an overflow area, and now it‘s down to one shelf on the bookcase that‘s holding my #readordonate books. Getting the subscription finally stopped also helped, but that‘s another story! There weren‘t many January issues, and they‘re gone, so I‘m working on December now. #monthlymagazineblitz
I keep seeing this book being praised as a great book for honing the homemaking skills. My initial skimming has piqued my interest so I extended my library due date so I could have time to savor and absorb. 👩🍳 🧼 💐 🥘🧶🪡
