On October, nostalgia, and cozy traditions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I think I know why we love October so much. When I think of cozy season I instantly think of October. This month is so comforting. It’s a warm hug on the cool day. It’s a bowl of tomato soup with grilled cheese. It’s the sound of crunchy leaves as you walk down the sidewalk. It’s getting cozy on the couch to rewatch Halloweentown for the 27th time. We love October because we have filled it with things we decided are comforting. The feeling you get when you make your favourite fall dinner of the

Just before I sat down to write this month’s wrap up, I was holding my beautiful little baby while she slept. She was so warm and cozy. It almost didn’t feel right to go put her down to write this lol.There are some days when I kind of wish life would be normal again.

Read excerpt
After extensive research (living my life, basically), I’ve determined that not all cozy things are created equal. It is no secret that I love cozy living. I get on the internet on a daily basis and share my thoughts and opinions on all things cozy. My personality has turned into “cozy girl” and I spend a lot of time trying to make normal ordinary life something soft and special. The cozy side of me thinks very highly of all cozy things.
