Hello.

Hi, I'm Annie.

I'm a mother of 3,

spouse to G,

writer of things,

Phd student,

sister,

daughter,

and lucky friend

living in Boston.

Basic Joy = my attempt to document all of this life stuff, stubbornly looking for the joy in dailiness.

Month of witchery

...and so the countdown begins.

What are you going to be for Halloween?
Any great ideas for kids and costumes?


Do share, my witchy (& I mean that in the best sense) friends {insert wicked witch laugh here}.
p.s. Welcome, October. I love you in a happy, melancholy way.
