Welcome

Hello! My name is Shannon Taylor. I'm a long-time writer and editor from Minnesota surprised to find myself on an island in the Pacific Northwest. I'm sharing this adventure with my husband, four kids, and two dogs. I “published” my first newsletter when I was nine, and I’ve loved sharing ideas, stories, and information ever since. I hope you find something here to inspire you and help you create a comfortable, cozy life.

'Tis the season to curl up on the sofa and read ho

'Tis the season to curl up on the sofa and read holiday books! One of our favorite traditions when the kids were growing up was to wrap 25 Christmas-related picture books and use them as part of our Advent celebration. The kids would take turns opening the Advent Box and unwrapping the books. At first, Tim did all the reading. His rendition of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS is legendary—as is his inability to make it through THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE OF JONATHAN TOOMEY without tearing up. As the years went by, the kids joined in to read the books out loud. Alexandra's ELOISE AT CHRISTMASTIME is hilarious and magical and you should get her to read it for you if you ever have the chance.

If you have children in your world and would like to embrace this tradition, I've included a list of books to get you started. You can purchase copies through @eagleharborbooks and www.bookshop.org.
