This month, Hazel & Wren turns 5! We’re celebrating quietly this Thursday at Boneshaker Books (join us!), as well as with a new column (coming soon!), and a survey (right here!). In the meantime, here are three celebratory scenes from which to take inspiration:

Good Monday to you, dear writers. All partied out? Let’s recover with some sleep, just in time for the next party on Wednesday night. Happy New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving week, folks. Let’s continue our scrub, scrub theme and this week spend some time in the bath. Especially those of us heading to large family gatherings – we can’t afford to show up extra-odorous, now, can we?
I can hear that faucet drip already.

I’ve been scrubbing many things lately: floors, walls, countertops, more floors. Those of you hosting a Thanksgiving gathering in a few weeks may find yourself doing the same very soon. This week, let’s prepare (and brace) ourselves (and homes) for a good, deep scrub.
