One irrational thing about me (yes, just one for now) is that even though I know I chose the best MS medication for myself, I'm a little jealous that I don't get to take infusion center selfies like the cool MS kids. I'm usually good for a fist full of pi

I have an obscene amount of photos on my phone (camera? Camera phone?). I snap more photos than I'll ever remember to look back on and enjoy. So I'm grateful for the photos widget I can put on my Home Screen: bringing me back to these delightful moments i

I flew across the country for the only thing I wanted for my birthday: the best gluten free bagel sandwich. @modernbreadandbagel, you complete me.

"I'm not ready for fall!" she cried, as she cast on two new sweaters in decidedly autumnal colors... on the left: @explorerknits "Sangria" on Carlsbad Worsted (for a Date Night Sweater from @caidree) on the right: @polkadotsheep "Cream City Yarn" on Te

This photo is now the feature on my Home Screen photo memories widget. Timely since I cast on another hat last night! I don't knit hats often but between all these big, bulky sweaters I've been working on I need a project that can go anywhere with me and

I can't even imagine how many people must have entered the giveaway for this gorgeous collection from Hue Loco; I'm beyond amazed that I was drawn as the winner! 😍 Now I'm on the hunt for a good pattern or idea on how to use these, so I can enj

Summer-loving girl here. 👋 I just grabbed a fan to simulate a breeze for a few hours out on my patio today. It's stinkin' hot and I'm knitting extremely fluffy and warm yarn into a #DoppioSweater, but I absolutely required some fresh air and unfilte

It's World MS Day and mostly I want to complain about how tired I am, because my attitude has been pessimistic lately. I got really sick with the common cold last week and I'm sure it hit me harder just because of my suppressed immune system. It felt blea

My last little wrap up of the 2024 #MNYarnShopHop. It was a quieter hop this year for many reasons but, really, the best part of it is the quality time I get to spend with some of my favorite people. All the yarns are always fun to squish, too, of course

I got to show off my latest finished object at @RoseYarnCo this morning: the #VBackTee from @knitosophy, made with @ruby_and_roses_yarn! The construction on this top was a bit wild! I wrote a lot of notes for myself throughout but I did really enjoy the

I'm too tired & it's too late to do a bazillion stories to catch up with my #MNYarnShopHop adventures tonight, so these are all going right into a post instead! We visited four shops tonight, with a snack at @sweetscienceicecream & dinner and drinks at @

Somewhere around here is when I got emotional about how beautiful Ireland is. So much green that I was overwhelmed. I want to go back for more! But for now settling with just having a corned beef and cabbage dinner to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. ☘️

I found this aged, scratched, and almost ineffective mirror too good to pass up for a blurry selfie. And today I feel like sharing it: the first day of #MSAwarenessWeek. I could just go about my day quietly today, mostly because I'm finding it difficult

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Love you, mom.

I'm unfortunately starting 2024 feeling like I still haven't processed all of 2023, but that's life these days. If 2023 taught me anything: I must give my body and mind some grace. So: I'll make it to this year mentally at some point. Please bear with me.

That time* I met Cinderella and didn't brag about it nearly enough. (*8 days ago) Also: Captain America wished me** a happy birthday! (**and my husband, whose birthday is 5 days before mine)

Today my Love Note for Ireland made its debut! I finished knitting this a while ago, but I wasn't sure if I was truly done. After mulling over the options of continuing to work on it or realizing that I was being insane, I decided to wash and block it. An

A whirlwind of a 36 hour trip: 5 awesome friends, more than 600 miles, 3 new-to-me yarn stores, $[redacted] worth of beautiful yarn, and countless precious new memories. I am exhausted in the best way and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
