Mom came across this poem she wrote decades ago about Christmas tree decorating with her parents and her brothers. ❤️ — ‘Twas the night before Christmas Dad brought in the tree To be beautifully decorated By my brothers and me. Oh, Dad strung the

A year since the woman I got to call Mama, who transformed my life in ways I’ll never fully grasp, left the planet. She’s been sending me messages the last few days, I think, so it was high time I listened to at least one of them and bake some peanut butt

KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN AND DO YOUR WORK: 1. The polls are all wrong in every direction. 2. All headlines suck and are misleading. Do not give these petty dingdongs an ounce of rent-free space in that precious brain of yours. Do your piece: door-knock, d

One of the most fun things I did this summer was join @goldcomedy and take their standup boot camp class. Not only did I get to spend a few weeks totally nerding out on everything I love about comedy, but I discovered a whole new supportive world of peopl

I knew when Mama passed away that I wanted to do something special with a tiny portion of her ashes, and when I found Kevin Fulton’s glass memorials, I knew I’d found the thing that would make both our hearts really happy. She looooooved candles and I pic

When you get up late and your Tanti asks you if you want breakfast and you say “not yet, I’ll have some coffee” and then she says “BAH SOON IT WILL BE LUNCH, I’ll make you some eggs and you’ll sit on the terrace in the sun and eat!” 😍

I can’t imagine, in the sliding-doors theory of the universe, what my life would look like in other timelines had this human not landed in my tiny little town and high school back in 1991, coincidentally the first year I went to Germany and absolutely fel

Yesterday, we buried Mama’s ashes with gifts and messages of our love for her under a spectacular elm tree in a cemetery forest overlooking the gorgeous Bodensee. Another piece of closure, a new stage of grief. I’m thankful I was able to make it over to b

A sweet, fun challenge of a bunny I made for some friends who just had their first baby. Fantastic pattern by @jesshuffco with minor adjustments by me for the yarn I fell in love with and used (@loopsandthreads “saltwater taffy,” so cute!). Squeeeeee! #am

If your basic expenses (ie, housing, food, health, family/household needs) were guaranteed to be covered, what kind of work would you do? Is it different than the work you do now? (This is not a loaded question, I’m genuinely curious)

First @jayharrissf saw this in a gallery in Oaxaca, then showed me a pic after his trip. I freaked out and found @erre.erre online immediately, and ordered a print. She shipped the next day from Bogota, and a few days later I had it in my hands. Now it’s
