Believe it or not, this was not traumatic, which says something about my childhood 🤣🤣 I don’t even remember it (and not from head injury, it was just normal to fall off a lot). Only “remember” it because we bought the professional video of it.

I love nothing more than having a blissfully zonked out kitty in my lap. (It’s Echo’s favorite thing too)

Also the “sweetest patch” label on those Driscolls blackberries was no lie. They’re awesome. (And they were on clearance! This is a just a third of the blackberries I got for like $1.75).

Peeps look a lot less cute dissolving in hot cocoa 😂 but couldn’t resist trying a peppermint peep this way (they’re really kind of too big for this even when you dismember them a bit first)
