It’s feeling pretty bleak out here these days. Everyone doing ok? I mean, I know we’re not ok. But how are you?
More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.
Put it in the Louvre. 🫡🧡💙
BRONCOS!! They are for real!! 🧡💙
It’s so beautiful. 🥹😍🧡💙
Broncos beat the Chiefs AND Refs!!!!! 🧡💙
My girl spent all week making bracelets for a fundraising party. She & the kids planning it decided what would be made/sold and what nonprofit proceeds would go to. She didn't sell a single bracelet. The kids all bought snacks but no handmade items. Im just a mom pleading: support makers big & small
Kids stalling at bedtime has to be one of the hardest aspects of parenting.
"By most metrics, 2025 has been the worst year for the American scientific enterprise in modern history". The result - we are "essentially ending America’s longstanding role as the world leader in science and innovation,” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/s...
I know it doesn’t matter at all. But I’m having a hard time bringing back wide leg jeans.
I just saw a recipe that calls for 1/2 an egg in the dough. You guys. I’m tired. What are we even doing?! Just no.
So freaking magical every time.
Avocado toast made on yesterday’s homemade sourdough bread and a fresh cup of coffee in hand while I sit on the porch in my rocking chair and watch hot air balloons overhead. Oh. Yes.
Oh hey Bluesky! Just a quick reminder for those in the back: when someone gets engaged it's none of your business whether they decide to have children or not. And betting on when they might have children is super gross. Stop it.
It’s my favorite season. 🏈
My son started his freshman year of high school today. Time feels very warpy and weird. He felt like a baby forever ago and a minute ago. Parenting Time is wild.
Wishing you a long, full night of sleep. That sounds brutal.
We are very clean people. But there is nothing quite as humbling as hiring professional house cleaners for the first time to make you realize, ohhh. Clean, but could be so much cleaner apparently. 🫠
COVID really taught me that men simply were not socialized to handle upsetting, unfair situations that are obviously beyond their control.
Trump II is reinforcing that for me. Our society simply does not equip cis men with the tools they need to be practical realists about this historical moment.
If you need something wholesome today and the weeks ahead, the Denver Zoo has a live webcam on a mama lion and her 4 cubs. They are only a week old. Don't forget to find pockets of joy. denverzoo.org/zootales/bab...
Summer is fun and all. But summer break with kids is exhausting. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. This parent is out of steam.
Oh, Colorado. 🧡💙 The view from my window.
Pro tip: when I’m exhausted and out of parenting patience, and my 14yo and 11yo are st each other, I just start parenting in Daniel Tiger songs. 1) they hate it but 2) it lightens the tension of frustration and 3) I don’t have to reinvent the wheel of basic skills. And 4) it’s funny to bug them.
THANK YOU. Much appreciated. I got the ball rolling which feels like the hardest part.
Same. I feel for you and relate so hard. But, I'm finally forcing myself to do it anyway. My husband found a dentist he's been really happy with so fingers crossed. I have an appointment tomorrow. I'm a big ball of anxiety tonight.
Trying to work up the courage to book a dental appointment that I've been putting off for too long. Dental trauma is no joke.
Want to know how to fully anger the internet? Say in a middle of the night insomnia post (on another site) that, in your opinion, lavender is a scent, not a flavor. They come out of the woodwork to tell you that you are surely a psychopath.
