10 & I went to her 1st concert Saturday! She has loved Linkin Park for years & was SO excited to see all of the members in person (especially Mike & Emily). I remember listening to Hybrid Theory in my Sony portable CD player at 13 years old thinking (knowing) it was perfection.

My 2 oldest went back today. Per my 10 y/o, the bus driver is mean & yelled at the kids for standing, being too loud, etc.
She devised a scheme to make the new driver leave: "Mom, all of us are going to be SUPER QUIET. That way, she will be mad that she can't yell at anyone & quit!"
I approved.

I saw this set at an estate sale. I didn't know anything about it - just that it was beautiful. I learned later it's called "lusterware" (due to the opalescent finish) & was made circa 1920s in Czechoslovakia. It included 8 teacups/saucers/plates + a serving platter - no imperfections.

I know friends' siblings' birthdays from 25 years ago, but I didn't realize I put a box of envelopes in our fridge yesterday.

I was awake at 4am this morning and saw my friend, Doe. She looked at me for a bit, then went back to eating grass. I don't know anything about photography - those 2 light beams coming from either side of the street lamp were happy accidents.

I'm an unplanned kidlit author.
In 2021, I searched for a PB portraying an autistic main character as a human. Not a superhero or a burden.
It didn’t exist.
I was angry.
4 years later, Roscoe & Ivy were born. I am forever grateful for @katedepalma.bsky.social recognizing the need for these books.

Replace "Thrift store" with "Estate Sale" and this accurately describes my summer.

Our interior Halloween decorations went up in July last year. June is probably a better choice.

It's my favorite time of the year - STRAWBERRY SEASON! These beauties are from our strawberry patch in our backyard. The kids love foraging with me. They get so excited when they find a pink or red berry.

This scene, to be exact. This is legit what my kitchen will look like and many times, I will still gasp and jump when I walk back in 😅

I'm forever grateful to @katedepalma.bsky.social & @barefootbooks.bsky.social for supporting this book series. These caregiving strategies are ones I have personally used with my own autistic kids when traditional solutions didn't work. I'm hoping to help as many neurodivergent families as I can!

Ok, these tariffs have gone way too far. No more Irregular Choice concept heels for me or anyone else in the US for who knows how long 😭

I designed & started this mural in my kids' bedroom 2 yrs ago. 99% was finished within the first 2-3 months. I finally added the extra non-Pokémon bubbles this week - a great example of ADHD hyperfixation and then procrastination.

My favorite springtime botanical is in bloom! Daffodils and tulips are stunning, but the smell of lilac is everything

My daughter: Look at my Calico Critters! The Pikachu Panda is robbing the store. The bunny had a heart attack. The other Panda is like, "What the heck?!" The cashier is so stressed out she's laying on the cash register.
Me: What about the hedgehogs?
Her: Oh, they're just shopping.

I got my "official published author" photos taken this morning. I can easily speak in front of 1000 people, but I was dreading a solo photoshoot. Luckily, I knew the photographer well & she's neurodivergent too, so I didn't feel too cringe. They will be ready in 1 week!
