i’m not sure where i saw myself at nearly 31, but making biscuits and gravy on a sunday morning like my dad used to when i was a kid, feeding bits of biscuits to my toddler while i cook my gravy, in a warm house on the first day of december, seems better than i could have made up.

this has truly wrecked my world tonight (in an epically good way) #justiceForAlissa #voicesforjustice.
I’m shaking and I’m crying. We did it you guys. He’s been arrested. Omg 😭 thank you. #justiceforalissa Never give up hope that you can get justice. It took almost 20 years but we did it.

incredibly thankful for amazing foster parents like the one eli had before us. she asked to take him overnight so she could take him to the county fair tomorrow as a surprise. it gives us a lil break, and him, a chance to reconnect to an incredibly influential person in his life.

my son didn’t know the word for the heels of a loaf of bread, and called them “bread backs” while also making a hand gesture for parentheses. it’s one of the cutest things he’s ever done, i think.

he hates it when i stay in indy at ashley’s house bc i sit in his spot on the couch, and sleep in his room on his bed (like, a human bed. that he believes is his. he even pushed my stuff off the bed one time!), but i still love this doggo so much! happy birthday, chuck!!.
This Monday is an EXTRA special one, because in addition to a new episode of Crime Junkie. it's Chuck's 10th Birthday!! 😭🥳 🐾. Happy birthday to the OG Pruppet and top dog at @audiochuck, whose day will SURELY be filled with lots of treats, long walks, and snuggles!🥰

i will never feel older than when, after shushing my child and his friends spending the night, they begin shushing each other so as to not get in trouble with me. because i’m the mom. ? bless my parents/friends parents for all the sleepovers they endured for the joys of us kids.

I didn't hate @ZacEfron being cast as Ted Bundy in #ExtremelyWickedShockinglyEvilandVile, but oh my lord, what were we thinking by not using the beguiling looks and talents of @PennBadgley?! @netflix, know your creeper dudes and cast accordingly.

i'm biologically mexican, but not culturally. however, the fact that an incredibly legit taco shop has been discovered only a few blocks from my house has been a true revelation to my palate. i somehow feel incredibly "home".

mae is slowly walking around the house nibbling on banana bread while the dogs follow her a few steps behind, waiting for her to drop some for them to eat. mae knows this and just keeps walking more slowly as the scene progresses.

i think i can plan coordinated outfits for me and mae for… the rest of the week? in an effort to get her excited about getting out of jammies every morning. however, this means i have to independently find the inspiration to be excited about getting out of jammies every morning.

they say you can know a person by what’s on their nightstand (idk if that’s a thing, but keep listening). my nightstand has two different hair products (on gel, one creme), nyquil, a scrunchie is my hair is now too short for, and a cup of knitting needles and crochet hooks.

i’m almost 32. have a 12 y/o and a 2 y/o. i developed a job in media at 29 (that till this year required me to travel quite a bit) after a 12 yr career in a completely different industry. my mom had 1 kid (me) and waited tables at the family restaurant. neither is bad or wrong?.

yo. i can't tell you how much butterfly clips were when i was a kid, but i'm pretty sure my mom told me they cost like, $5 each and that's why i couldn't get 5 of them at a time. you can get HUNDREDS for $5 on amazon right now. i had no idea.

less than 15 mins into episode 4 of #TheTrialsOfGabrielFernandez and though the entire documentary series is so traumatic and disturbing, watching children be removed from their parents truly truly destroyed me. i saw that and saw my kids in those blurred videos.

yesterday, my flight home was delayed. it was annoying. but i was able to stave off that disappointment by watching a man in the airport watch #cheeronnetflix. as luck would have it, he was seated next to me on our eventual plane, and started the finale on the flight.

I'm re-watching lost and i'd just like to shout out to anyone who did hair on this show. Sayid, Kate, Claire, Michael, Walt, Hurley, Rose, Rousseau, and Ana-Lucia all have textured hair that can be difficult to style consistently, not to mention maintain in humidity. So, BRAVO!.

i have loved @Jeopardy since i was a kid. when i was like, 8, my grandma in FL, where it aired at 7p, not 730p here in Indiana, she would call me and ask me some of the questions that were asked throughout the categories, so if i didn't know, i could study to prep. #RIPAlexTrebek.

i understand it’s contradictory to the main point of the documentary, but as a foster parent, it hit me in a place that reminded me just how traumatic the lives of these tiny humans have been through and how important being a safe, cozy, loving harbor.
