a lifestyle blog for book lovers

My favorite finds from around the web:

Spending 10 minutes a day on mindfulness subtly changes the way you react to everything. “We’ve seen over and over again that a diligent approach to mindfulness can help people create a one-second mental space between an event or stimulus and their response to it.”

There’s a Little Golden Book for that. This year is the 75th (!!) anniversary of Little Golden Books. “For pop culture happenings, everyday events, and special moments, you can quite rightly say, “There’s a Little Golden Book for that.” Here’s a look at some of the many things Little Golden Books have been a go-to for over the years…”

Why a tall basket is the best way to store sheet pans and cutting boards. I’m currently struggling to organize our new-to-us kitchen. I did this last weekend, and Will and I both LOVE it.

16 cozy and inviting reading nooks. Design Sponge, you understand me.

Favorite instagram:

I get the best mail. (Follow me on instagram @annebogel.)

Okay, here’s the deal. These are stickers we had made for the MMD shop. We couldn’t decide which design to go with so we ordered three. The squares are 3×3, as a point of reference. We’re not selling them individually right now (I wish we could—it’s so time-intensive) but may do so in the future. We’re also sending some out to our favorite indie bookstores. If you know a bookstore that should be on our favorites list (because much like their TBR lists, dedicated readers often love to have long favorite indie lists) email [email protected].

Also, I really need to shoot these in better light—as soon as they arrived on my doorstep I didn’t have the patience to wait for the sun to come out!

On the blog:

    I have, what I consider, a regular stove-the free standing all in one. I use the drawer at the bottom to store all of my cookie sheets and metal baking pans. Works perfectly for us. I only have pans that actually get used, so they all fit within the drawer.
