My 12 yo son’s friend is over for dinner and we just finished the meal (spaghetti).
- Me: Do you want something for dessert? Yogurt? Apple? Cookie?
- Him, tapping his belly: No thanks, I have to stay healthy for soccer.
Wtf?

Every now and then, the chef at my workplace steps out of his kitchen, crosses the hallway and steps into my office with yummy amuse-bouche varieties he wants someone’s opinion on.
David, please always let me be that someone 😍🤤🤤

It's a form of self love to be selective with who you allow in your space.

This is Rosie.
Rosie spent 15 minutes opening and closing her wings on my daughter’s finger as we carved the Halloween pumpkin.
Apparently, Rosie doesn’t like fruit juice, but she finds pumpkin flesh very yummy.
Let’s hope Rosie is still there tomorrow morning 😌

This is Cécile.
Cécile kept me company today as I was cooking dinner. She crawled on my hands and tickled my skin as I grated cheese.
But then I was afraid she’d fall in the boiling water… so I fed her some juice off the counter.
Hubby came home and wiped up the juice ‘spill’.
RIP Cécile 💔🪦

There are other ways to spell love. A whispered ‘You did well’ when you get home after a long day. A ‘You look great’ first thing in the morning as you rush out the door. The occasional ‘You’re so good’ and the constant ‘I’m so proud’. I hope you hear it every time.

Throughout my life, I was told I'm too sensitive. It used to hurt. I always felt there was something wrong with me because of their words. But fact is, I fucking love my ability to feel things deeply. Passionately. If you're a sensitive person too, be proud! You're perfect just the way you are. 🫂

Signs you should just go back to bed:
- Breaking (?) your toe because you didn’t have your glasses on yet and stubbed it against a stepping stool
- Reaching out for the soap dispenser instead of the toothpaste when trying to brush your teeth
