Pie Mom 🦞

I used ground venison in the meat sauce too so I’m feeling very thrifty and homesteady (but not in the gross Christian trad wife kind of way)

When a tub of ricotta cheese is almost $7, a bitch learns to make her own!

Be so for real, Vanessa

Last week I heard the quote “Us millennial and Gen X parents are bedroom kids raising living room kids…and we are overstimulated.” I’ve never agreed more with a parenting take. Signed, the mom who retreated to her bedroom…and they found her. 😭😂

Suck it, Kim Davis. Evil fucking hag, go back to under the bridge you came from. I’ve had to hear your name for entirely too goddamn long for one lifetime.

Our @heartsofpine.bsky.social didn’t win last night in a nail biter of a game I stayed up way too late for. Incredible effort to end a spectacular inaugural year. So proud of our boys. #upthehearts #wearetheboysofMaine #maine #soccer See you next season!!

And I get to sit back and just enjoy you two verbally tormenting each other

This pair of thoughts is me exactly lolll

Not even Mt. Dew…Surge! 😂😂😂

And then drag queens will take to stage to make it ART

And I’m SO happy. Not just against him but against billionaires, wealth inequality, and the othering of people whose race/skin color/etc people like him don’t like. Let’s fucking goooo!!!

I pretty much never ever want to see Trump’s ugly fucking face but I kind of wish we had a livestream of the meltdown he must be having right now 😂

Can you see them with Find My oh your phone?

Back at ya!

First of many pantry drop offs today! Over $1,000 worth of food for weekend bags going to local students 💕

Honestly I think a lot of people want to help but are unsure of how. Giving them concrete local resources and someone else running point and coordinating helps a lot! And this way I’m not asking pantry volunteers to do more so it helps everyone

I reached out to our school districts and local pantries to identify needs then I started posted to my own FB network and in local parent groups

Thank you!

Thank you!!

If anyone wants to contribute, this is my Venmo. (Phone is 4164). You can also contribute to local pantries by visiting Feeding America and putting in your zip code to find pantries near you! Fck T*ump, Fck ICE, help kids.

My next move is supporting a local recently-unhoused family who found housing in a trailer on a family member’s property but the trailer needs much needed roof repairs before winter. I’m so thrilled to turn the rage I’ve been feeling into action. In sucky times, we can be the helpers.

We’re purchasing $1,000 worth of food for the backpacks then building Thanksgiving, Cleaning, and Hygiene kits…as well as donating $500 to a local charity that works to fill in the gaps with gift cards, fuel assistance, etc.

I started a local fundraiser on Wednesday to help food insecure kids/families in my district. My original goal was $600 to support a weekend backpack meals program. I’m stunned to share that as of today, my little local community raised $2,550 and now we’re supporting 3 diff food programs in town!

Husband hasn’t gone deer hunting in years but decided to this year with the price of beef and everything rising. Day 1 of the season opening today and he filled both doe tags!!! Yesssssss.

Thank you!! I’ve found some good ideas but also trying to be kid-friendly haha

Ideally I’d like to do breakfast, snacks, and 2-3 meals per bag.

If anyone has worked for programs that did these kind of backpack programs before or summer meals programs have ideas of what’s needed most or does the best, please let me know! I’m consolidating ideas and shopping lists now. Shelf-stable for sure.

I reached out to our school district today to talk to someone who works with economically-disadvantaged students. I’m thinking about crowdfunding to put together weekend bags of snacks and shelf-stable meals that they can send home with students in need as SNAP stops (with their ok).

Welcome to Derry, Episode 1. Lets goooo!!!

Husband and I have been enjoying 90s/00s horror movies leading up to Halloween and so far my only take away is goddamn Monica Keena was/is hot. Perfect rack, my god.
