    New Year Adventures

    Our stories today take us into the new year with three fresh adventures. We’ll start with a simple soup simmering on the stove as the snow begins to fall in Lemongrass and Ginger. Then we’ll tie on our skates and head out to the park for a day in the crisp winter air in The Skating Path. Finally, we’ll board a train for a cross country trip, watch the sun set and daydream about the characters we meet on the way in The Sleeper Car.

    Mistletoe, Ivy, & Pine

    Our stories today have us decorating and crafting and enjoying the outdoors. We’ll start with Mistletoe and Marmalade, as the tree goes up, and the animals debate pulling it back down. Then we’ll hear The Holly and the Ivy, where we can step out after the snow has fallen and cut some greenery for handmade gifts. Finally we’ll hear The Tree Farm. We’ll ride the tractor through the fields, and connect someone who needs something, with something that needs a home. Order your own NMH weighted pillow today!  Follow us on Instagram.

    Streetlights, Christmas Trees, & The Inn

    Our stories today have us deep into holiday excitement in the Village. We’ll stop by the bookstore in Snow and Streetlights and pursue the shelves, sip some hot cocoa, and smile at the merriment in downtown. Then we’ll unwrap the buildings of the little Christmas village, plugging in their bulbs and arranging them on the tree skirt in Under the Tree. Finally, we’ll head out to the Inn, where they are getting ready for a week of guests. The mantle is decorated, and from the windows in the ballroom, you can see the ice spreading on the lake in The Innkeeper’s Holiday. Order your own NMH weighted pillow now!  Follow us on Instagram!

    Books, Skates, & Stars

    Our stories today tip us into the first holiday tales of the season. We’ll start with Rainy Morning, a story about a good day to stay in bed and finish a good book, as well as looking forward to the next on the to-be-read list once the rain shifts to snow. Then we’ll visit with friends, step out into the fresh air, and risk a fall or two in Skating in the Park. Finally, we’ll pop some popcorn and snuggle on the couch as a special begins to play on the TV in Paper Stars. Order your own NMH weighted pillow now!  Follow us on Instagram!

  • Having trouble sleeping? Join Yoga and meditation teacher Kathryn Nicolai for bedtime stories where nothing much happens to help you relax and sleep peacefully. The stories are a soft landing spot for your mind. Rather than letting your brain race through the same thoughts you’ve been chasing all day, we are taking a detour to a calm and comfy place. We tell the story twice and go a bit slower the second time. You can find our book, "Nothing Much Happens," in over 20 languages.
