My friend is watching my dogs while my family is out of town and he sent me a concerned text about my dog Lanna’s poop this morning being weird. I thought for sure she got into her treats, but the bag was in tact. As he was leaving, my friend found FIVE wrappers tucked into the couch. So sneaky!!

My friend hosted a Cats-the-Musical-themed costume party tonight. My husband: “Please be careful driving with the rain and don’t drink too much.”’ Me: “Trust me, I’ve never been more terrified of being pulled over.”

I brought this sweet, stubborn old pup home 14 years ago today. I don’t know that we’ll get to celebrate 15 years together, but I’m so thankful that we’ve made it this far.

I grew up thinking key lime pie had a ton of lime juice in it but it turns out there is only 1/2 cup so now I have a key lime pie and maybe 6 fewer limes!

We trimmed the flower off of a banana tree this morning to encourage the resources to go to the fruit instead. I also have a TON of ripe Mexican limes. Seems like I need to find a good curry recipe! Maybe some key lime pie also??

Went to the Heritage Auction Guillermo Del Toro reception tonight and seeing this Windsor McCay Gertie the dinosaur original blew my mind. I couldn’t imagine just having this in my house??!!

My daughter's daycare sends regular photo updates throughout the day, which I love, but occasionally they send me a photo of her passed TF out in a dark room and it's always so jarring I can't help but laugh!

Any LA or Bay Area locals interested in adopting a 10 y/o low maintenance kitty named Mango? She belonged to my friend's mom, who tragically suffered from a major stroke and fall and can no longer care for her. Both my friend and I have a full house of pets and can't take her, though wish we could

This shirt is one of my all time best thrift store finds, and whenever I wear it I feel like I’m a Scott Pilgrim character (or someone else cooler than me)

One of my coolest bragging rights is that one of my childhood friends is on the Goodyear blimp crew and is in this NYT article this morning. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/b... Here’s also a screenshot of our most iconic text exchange.

I have probably 50+ children’s books from my childhood that I’m reading as bedtime stories for my daughter, and wow if there aren’t MAJOR horror vibes from this Frosty the Snowman page.

My summer goal is to make a new picture book dummy and my hatred of AI is driving me to attempt this whole project traditionally 👀👀👀

Ursula K Le Guin is mostly known for writing high fantasy, like the Earthsea novels, but I was obsessed with these books as a kid. I just re-discovered them on a bookshelf, complete with fan art I drew when I was probably 7 or 8.

This is my first time celebrating Mother’s Day as a mom, and it definitely hits different from this perspective! This is the card I made for my OBYN to thank her for helping through my entire pregnancy journey. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the other moms out there!
