Our stories today treat us to some time in interesting, fun, and beautiful places. We’ll start at the Village Museum, getting ready for a school bus of kids to come for a visit in Museum Trip. Next, we’ll clip on leashes and dog coats and head out for a walk in the winter sunshine in Muddy Paws. Finally, we’ll visit the paths behind the library, listen for the sound of the creek flowing, and the squirrels in the trees, in The Bridge in the Woods.Order your own NMH weighted pillow now! https://shop.nothingmuchhappens.com/ Follow us on InstagramSave over $100 on Kathryn’s hand-selected wind-down favorites with the Nothing Much Happens Wind-Down Box.

Our stories today start out on in the snow, as toboggans whiz past and saucers slip over the slopes. We’ll make snow angels and tromp around in our boots in The  Sledding Hill. Then in The Greenhouse, we’ll put on our gardening gloves and clip roses for a big order for the Inn. Finally, we’ll welcome dear friends at the door and light the candles on the table for Sunday Dinner.Order your own NMH weighted pillow now! https://shop.nothingmuchhappens.com/products/weighted-pillowsFollow us on InstagramSave over $100 on Kathryn’s hand-selected wind-down favorites with the Nothing Much Happens Wind-Down Box.

We are doing something a little different with today’s episode, and I hope you dig it. I am going to take you on a little walking tour of a favorite location in the Village on Nothing Much. What? How will that work?  Yeah, I don’t know either. We’re going to figure it out together because, yes, the Village of Nothing Much is an imaginary place, a world I built story by story through my bedtime story podcast Nothing Much Happens, but why should that stop us? So you might want to listen to this while you are walking, just stretch your imagination a bit. Or listen wherever you are, just following along with me as I talk our  way through the Great House and Village Museum, where the map room sits on the top floor, and the labyrinth awaits in the gardens. Order your own NMH weighted pillow now! shop.nothingmuchhappens.com/ Follow us on InstagramSave over $100 on Kathryn’s hand-selected wind-down favorites with the Nothing Much Happens Wind-Down Box.

Our stories today are full of whiskers and wagging tales. We’ll start with a little brown dog as he meets his new family and falls in love in Crumb Comes Home. Then we’ll wrap up tight and head out into the snow to take in the views and the quiet and wish a happy new year to a doe in a pasture. Finally in Sycamore Settles In, we’ll check in the Innkeeper and her new friend as they make up beds, play in the ballroom and get ready for guests.Order your own NMH Weighted Pillow now at shop.nothingmuchhappens.com!Follow us on Instagram for updates and behind-the-scenes content.Save over $100 on Kathryn’s hand-selected wind-down favorites with the Nothing Much Happens Wind-Down Box.

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.Preorder your own NMH weighted pillow now! https://shop.nothingmuchhappens.com/ Follow us on Instagram Save over $100 on Kathryn’s hand-selected wind-down favorites with the Nothing Much Happens Wind-Down Box.

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.

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!
