She/her. Forty-something, stay-at-home wife and mom of three. I cook, I craft, I try to keep hold of my tenuous grasp on sanity in this world.
Today was a day of hyperfocus as I spent 6+ hours doing almost nothing but decorating brownies and salted caramel butterscotch pudding with modeling chocolate flowers and marzipan mushrooms for my husband and mother-in-law’s joint birthday celebration!

Out if a sense of understanding that ignoring politics is a symptom of privilege that not all of my friends can afford, I Followed all of the AltGov accounts I could find.

Am now having existential crisis when reading my feed. Please advise. 😭

Instead of introducing pointless "every sperm is sacred legislation," introduce a bill—a Pro-Birth Accountability Act—like Sen. Mia McLeod introduced in S. Carolina in 2019.

I call it a "F**k You, Pay Me" bill.

If states are going to force people to give birth, then states should pay for it.

Day three of the Trump administration and my family has to huddle around the fire on a school snow day because we have no electricity… 😅

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

LB is my middlest. She is 9, and is interested in nail art. Problem? No suitable place to practice. Her sister is wiggly and has tiny nails, and if she tries on herself, it’s only her left hand.

She spent some Xmas money on nail stands and kid-sized clear fake nails. This is her first project.

Since this is a different set of people… We are sending my 15-year old son on a school trip to Germany in June. This will be his first trip overseas and is very exciting.
If anyone has the urge to help us, here is his fundraising page with the tour company:

Excessive? Probably.
Delicious? Yes.
Gluten-free? Surprisingly, also Yes.*

So… I’m so musically illiterate(?) that I probably wouldn’t even recognize WHAM’s original “Last Christmas” vs. any other cover/remix of the song, even if I did hear it…

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

The holiday baking frenzy is about to commence! I’m trying to figure out what mix of cookies I will make. It’s normally around 15 or so different varieties, but there are some new recipes I want to try… so I will need to drop some. This is more stressful than the actual baking sometimes…

Should I continue doing pictures of food? People seem to really like that here.

On the Book of Faces, I have my account locked down to friends only so I’m not used to this kind of engagement. I’m not quite sure how I feel about it.

Not sure what kind of posts I really want to put here… so here’s some “Magic Tea” (iced butterfly pea flower tea with silver luster dust) 🍽️🍜

It seems fitting that my inaugural post on this platform is food related. 😁

It’s garden pizza night!
