I started calling my kids “chicken noodle” and “chicken pot pie” for reasons unknown even to me but it is fitting. Sometimes “chicken Parmesan” even 😂

A Rare White Bison

I’ve been taking a break from this place. Overwhelmed and outraged by all that’s happening in America but I have two small kids to take care of so I don’t have much time for those feelings or anything else at present. I have been managing to start seeds and that is bringing lots of joy 🌱

The 3 yo wanted to use the toilet in our primary bathroom so I said “by all means.” He ran away and came back a minute later holding the potty insert up to frame his face as he walked into the bathroom. So disgusting 😝😂

This morning I opened the blinds & said “it’s getting brighter every morning😃” & I turned & the 6yo was crying! Me: “omg what’s going on?” He says “I’m just sad that it’s getting brighter b/c that means summer is coming & I won’t get to ski”who ever heard of a kid that was sad summer was on its way?

After the sticker shock for the price of redoing our patio, I’m trying to imagine a new (cheaper) design and man is it sad. I wish not everything was a jillion bucks.

Whoops. I’m at the gym & my headphones at home 🤪 I hate having to listen to myself think 😅

I sowed a bunch of seeds last week and woke up to my first 4 little seedlings today. Always stunned when what looks like dust turns into something green and beautiful. The miracle of life and science, etc. and all the good feels about that!!

Just got back a couple of bids to replace my (cracked, settling) cement patio with pavers 💸x♾️ 😭

Stopped by Sewtopia to pick up my Lizzy House fabric order and a few Kona Cottons solids 🤗

Did you know you can buy a cocktail shrimp party platter and eat it for lunch? There are no rules about it! I bought it just for myself since it interests no one else at my house. Got 40 shrimp for $9 just for me and now I have a healthy lunch for 2 or 3 days.

This was about an early Pilates class. The dumbest thing for my brain to stress about.

I have literally never slept through my alarm but as soon as I have something a little early in the morning, my brain stresses subconsciously all night long that I might miss it and I end up having a terrible night of sleep. Posted at 12:40am. Why am I like thissss?!

Best James Bond Title Song should be a Grammy category and we should get multiple artists a year releasing Bond songs, even if no movie has come out.

It’s so surreal to be a citizen in a country that has so many policies & practices I disagree with. And I think especially in this day and age where I have not only the world’s information at my fingertips, but also friends and acquaintances and many people I follow from across the entire globe. 1/

One of my fave quilts I’ve ever made… & I gave it away as a gift 😢😂 I made this in 2021. I used a quilt I saw online for inspo — I can’t remember 100%, but I believe it was one of Sarah’s quilts (@ sarah_made on insta.) SUCH a cute quilt 🍓

I’m a squarely intermediate skier & this kicked my trash today. Powder is a very different experience than what I’m used to!! I was too stressed to have fun but I’m glad I went 😅

Love living 25 min from my local ski resort. Makes winter so much more fun!!

Listening to an Apple Music playlist this AM… I’m sitting here thinking how great the playlist is because I LOVE every song. Check the playlist name and it’s “My Favorites” 🤦‍♀️😂

AI is such a thief of joy! If I used AI for bedtime stories, my kids wouldn’t have Giant the Tiny Elephant, or K963 the imperial droid with a heart of gold, or Achilles from the Toe-jam wars who only eats the lint between their toes, or Eddie the Eagle who explores USA National Parks, etc etc etc.

I made this baby quilt in 2018. I was pretty new to quilting at the time & finding fabric I liked was overwhelming. I knew about spoonflower and went there to find patterns in colorways I liked. I couldn’t find a train pattern I liked so I drew one in MS Paint and had spoonflower print it! #Quiltsky

lots of things are bad right now but at least we are alive at the same time as nerds gummy clusters

I made this baby quilt in 2021 for my baby that was born that year. I saw the Albers book and knew I wanted to turn it into a quilt. The Eric Carle fabric matched perfectly! Sewed up fast and has been well loved since 🐛🦋 #QuiltSky #Quilts #Quilting

You've just been thrown to your death by the Beatles.

To the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody: Mama, just killed some plans… I have the night ahead of me… I think I’ll sit and watch tv…

I went skiing in 4 degree weather and all it took was 2 base layers, a fleece layer, an outer shell layer, a balaclava & helmet, snow mittens with hand warmers, wool socks and ski boots to stay warm. (My toes & thumbs were still cold).

Started this project months ago. Finally coming back to it. Being pretty lazy with my prep (not ironing) but it should be ok in the end 😂

Just finished this existential thriller. A wild ride!!

My first quilt top completed in 2025! This is the first quilt of a pair for my boys. The other will be alike in almost every way but instead of paper airplanes it’ll be paper boats 🥰 #QuiltSky #quilts #quiltiny

Making my mom’s birthday cake…Whenever she gets a milkshake she asks for hot fudge, caramel, and marshmallow mix-ins, so I went to google to find a cake that had those components. One of the first results is a See’s Candy Scotchmallow inspired cake which is her other fave treat! Serendipity!

The kiddo was asking how old I’ll be at my next birthday. I said 33. Turns out I’ll be 35. Not sure how that happened.

Took the baby skiing today! He did so good!

My first finish of 2025: Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. Like a fairytale I’ve never read before with a magical winter kingdom, Jewish folklore, and tough & nuanced characters. A fun read!

No one should have to parent a 3 year old when they themselves are having a bad day 🤪🤪🤪
