Bedtime conversation and my 3-year-old is telling me his plans to build and open up a kitty cat shop to sell kitties. He's going to have 52 kitty cats and their names are going to be Rainbow, Strawberry, Megan, and Candy. Just in case you're in the market. #toddlersky #momsky

Your kid ever wake you up in the middle of the night crying because they had a dream that their brother threw their sucker away? No? Hmm. πŸ˜’ #momsky #toddlersky

Speaks volumes... #momsky #toddlersky

Winter walks with the family are always a little more fun when you bring the scooter and big wheel. #momsky #toddlersky #healthsky

Ope, the main love interests are together now in my rom-com, no need to finish the remaining 15% of the book, kthanksbye. #booksky #romcom #audiobook

Quote of the night from my 3 year old (that he repeatedly exclaimed over and over during bedtime snuggles): you smelled in my nose and you smelled BOOGERS!!! #toddlersky #momlife #momsky #boymom #boogers #toddlers

I'll be busy trimming these for quite awhile πŸ“ #quiltsky #sewingsky

Simba basking in the sunlight on my kiddo's Christmas gift quilt. How do cats always find just the right sunbeam to lounge in? #quiltsky #sewingsky

In case you're wondering what "fakey homesteader" means: my SO and I have 5 acres and a handful of ducks, but we also have jobs in STEM, vaccinate our family, and don't actually have time to garden *for real*. We also had a turkey for awhile, but Trevor was mean to the kiddos. #homestead #butscience

I saw a reel that basically said, "do you want to stimulate 47's economy or can it wait 4 years?" and you know what? That line of thinking has already saved me from like 3 purchases that I really didn't need. πŸ‘πŸ‘ Sorry I can't remember who posted that reel with that thought πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ #finances #suckit47

Take a walk y'all πŸŒ„ I would say you can escape the noise, but not if you're walking with me and my toddlers πŸ˜‚

Worked on chain piecing 8-at-a-time HSTs last night. Yay for making progress! #quiltsky

The tag on episode 6 of #stdenis has me crying πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Thanks @justinspitzer.bsky.social Totally Dwight with the CPR dummy stress relief episode vibes, which is my all-time favorite television moment. Still waiting for a pharmacist to show up (as a hospital pharmacist in Central Oregon, I wanna see me!)

I'm not one for making new year's resolutions nor picking a word for the year. And clearly I'm a bit behind on all that. But I do have some things I've been neglecting (primarily my health and wellness) and I'm aiming to improve in general. Little steps. So I guess that's my word for 2025. Improve.

Me: *making dinner* G (3yrs): "Can I help you, Mama?" My brain: ughhhh Me: "Of course baby, go wash your hands!" Might be a little extra work right now, but someday he'll be the one making dinner 🩡🩡 #toddlersky #momlifesky

Finally finished sewing up my Christmas gifts. Nothing like a little last minute flurry!! Now the wrapping will have to wait until 9 pm on Christmas Eve #momsky #sewsky #sewingsky #quiltsky #quiltingsky

I just had Handel's Graham Central Station ice cream and my life has changed forever. #momsky #icecreamsky

L(4): Look Mama, I have a kitty kat bar!! (Yes, KitKats are kitty kat bars in my house) Me: Wow, who gave that to you? L: Daddy! G(3): Mama, did a kitty cat lay this? Me: 😳😳😳 No, baby. We have ducks that lay eggs so I guess that would be logical right?? 🫠 #momsky #toddlersky

Anybody else go through the whole process of taping together and then cutting out a garment pattern, then remeasure yourself and realize you'll need to grade up?? So anyways, happy Thanksgiving 😢😢 #sewsky #garmentsewing

*Drive thru conversation* G: Momma, I want a hamburger. Me: Ok, one kid's burger please. *At home* Me: Please eat your hamburger. G: No, I don't want this. Can I have apple juice? 🫠🫠🫠 #momsky #toddlersky

Mum friendships are so weird. Do we know what jobs each other do? Not really. Do we have much in common? Couldn’t say. Have we messaged each other on the brink of losing it? Yes. Are we happy sharing our most intimate fears that you don’t usually dare say out loud? Absolutely. #mumsky #momsky

Sitting in my kids' room, waiting for them to fall asleep for their naps. I love them so much. I'm so blessed. But also I want to go sew now thank you very much. #sewsky #quiltsky #momsky

Hi #quiltsky, little sneaky peek here, but I made this picnic tablecloth quilt and finally got the binding on. Planning on taking it on lots of camping trips and making lots of memories.
