This will come as no surprise to anyone who has ever read my blog, but my go-to place when I need a breather is "the cozy" (a term coined by Whitney years ago) to read. On really busy days when I'm running all over the place I sometimes find myself yearning for some time in the cozy. But even on regular, stay-at-home-mom kind of days I need time there too.
I am literally taking the load off my feet and relaxing back into the pillows for physical relief, and then have the added bonus of escaping to the comfort of a good book. It is often difficult to pull myself away from this spot, but even if I must, I'm still glad for the little dose I got. And really, it's better for everyone around here when I've had that time. Hee.
**What do you do when you need a breather?**
Comment Window Tidbit: I have had a wonderful day outside and am so happy that I made the time to take advantage of the weather and to finally go to the Tulip Festival!

I have been wondering about the tulip festival, is it something to take the kids to?
I have a hard time getting cozy to read. I always fall asleep.
I need me some cozy! Serenity Now!
Thank you for your kind comment on the blog :)
Your cozy looks divine! When I need a breather I check blogs or if I'm really lucky and can hide from the kids for 10 minutes I sleep!
Books or exercise- my two escapes. Sometimes baking will do it too, but since I typically end up eating too much of the goods I like to choose from the first two mentioned... been doing alot of both lately!
I would love to get lost in a good book right now! I don't sit and read as often as I would like.
While I love to read, my reading goes in spurts. Usually I escape to the computer for relaxation.
Same same!
i have always loved your commitment to the cozy ;)
All I can say is that I'm glad I did my spt before looking at yours!!
i love the tulip festival. and i love reading in bed too. i don't have much down time, except for after work at night, then i sit on the couch. haha.
I love reading in bed....and truth be told I have occasionally taken the long way home so I can have a few minutes to myself.
Nope. No surprise.
I love how the name has stuck and all that it implies.
Tulip Festival with or without a camera? My heart is hurting at the thought of you being without a camera!
I can relate 100%!! Even just 5 minutes to read a few pages can change my attitude and give me the break I need! There is nothing like a good book....
A day without reading a little is a sad, sad day indeed.
I need to come up with a great name like the "cozy"...it sounds so much better than hanging out in bed.
That rechare, refresh moment is a MUST! I have yet to find my perfect "cozy", but i always have a book to at least get me relaxed mentally.
I thought of you today when I had an hour to myself (glorious and rare!) and instead of rushing around to get something done, I simply climbed into "my cozy" and read "The Help" for an hour. I'm addicted to this book and love it when I take the time to read. Why am I not doing this more often?
Okay, who would NOT want one of your photos? They are gorgeous!
I am reading The Forgotten Garden on my Kindle now, thanks to your recommendation. This morning I took some time to read before I even got out of bed and I felt like I was getting away with something, stealing time for myself!
I totally squinted my eyes up to try and see what you were reading in the cozy this time, but couldn't quite make it out.
I love cozy time--especially with a book you just can't put down.
If I have a good book going that's the one thing I will do too...with my chocolate of course. Love the cozy. cute pic.
