Every year I ask my sister what kind of cake she wants me to make for her birthday, and she always says "funfetti,but it has to be the box not scratch." This hurts my soul.

Woke up to water damage on the inside and the outside of our sunroom. Cool. Cool.

Same Little Critter, same.

12. Royal Assassin By Robin Hobb Burrich❤️ I ship Fitz and the Fool, but its not that kind of book🤣 I'm really looking forward to their trilogy.

Took the baby to the library for the first time💗

Went to a MOTW coffee shop and got a cardamom iced latte. Delicious.

Windows open. Reading a good book. My daughter is asleep on my chest, sucking her thumb and smiling in her sleep. This is the point.

"What good is a life lived as if it made no difference at all to the great life of the world? A sadder thing I cannot imagine. Why should not a mother say to herself, if I raise this child aright, if I love and care for her, she shall have a life that brings joy to those...

Poolside margaritas, nachos, and baby monitors.

Time is a crazy thing. Brand New just started playing. How is this the song I would cry to after my ex cheated on me for the millionth time and now I'm listening, watching my baby play and smile at me, happier than I've ever been...

People who light off fireworks in their neighborhood...whyyyyy?

We had such a good day today. Sometimes I step back for a second and I'm like "wow, I have a really nice life."

I wish had more chill because it's 100° and I'm still making an elaborate meal and dessert because one of my oldest friends is coming to my house for the first time tomorrow.

11. Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb Fantastic. I can't wait to dive into the rest of this series. I haven't been this excited about reading since I had my little one. I'm hopeful this will help me get over my reading slump.

It's already too hot🫠

Such a nice day

Goodnight. ✨ 🖼️ Dorothy Lathrop from a 1922 book of fairy-poems by Walter de la Mare.

I've become addicted to whipped feta. We're going through like 2 blocks a week. Justifying it by telling myself I need the fat and protein because I'm breastfeeding.🫠

I used to be the office manager at an organic grocery story. I controlled the music and would put on a Love Island playlist at like 7 am. Yes, my coworkers all hated me.

Summer at home

I love a rainy morning

I think I'm going to start Realm of the Elderlings, but it's going to take me forever to finish because of this baby.😩 I'm not used to being a slow reader.

10. Pilgrimess by Kara Reynolds Very slow but a nice story. I loved Priestess but I wouldn't really recommend this one.

Blessed in life because I had a baby with a good man. Happy Father's day to him, and all of the other good ones.

3 different kinds of cake in my house. I've never been so happy.

Kitty paw prints on a Roman clay tile! 😻 🐾 A tiny moment in time preserved in clay some 2,000 years ago when a kitten walked across this wet clay tile which was lying out to dry before firing. Lullingstone Roman Villa, Kent 📷 by me #Caturday #Archaeology

Just fixed a cabinet

Having my family over for a BBQ today, and as much as I love hosting, would it kill my sisters to maybe offer to help or bring something? Its not like I just had a baby or anything.

Went out for lunch, had a little cocktail, baby girl was an absolute angel. We are so back.

June

Grumpy cat on a vintage French postcard (c. 1913)

A bit burnt out. It's hot. Don't want to cook. Sent husband to the Greek market to get us goodies for the weekend.

The Kiss by Edvard Munch

I read more books last January than I have so far this entire year. Thanks baby.

Tambour work was a wildly popular embroidery technique in the second half of the c18th and this c 1795 dress is covered in branches of the fine chain stitch. It was worked on a large hoop with a tambour hook, forerunner of the couture luneville technique, Brighton Pavilion

Spent an hour on a pool float and got incredibly sunburnt. Cool. Cool.

Golden Oreos are better than regular Oreos. I will die on this hill.

I'm so lucky I have a good baby. This kid sleeps until like 10 am so I'm able to get all my stuff done while she's asleep. It's amazing. I'm really hoping the 4 month sleep regression doesn't bite me in the ass.

Brought baby girl into the pool with me and she actually liked it.🩷 For some reason this was the moment I kept looking forward to the whole time I was pregnant.

The cake vs. The inspiration

Years late to the party, but I just watched the series finale of Succession and I AM SO MAD! Great show.

I can never get these centered. I just try to tell myself it's part of the homemade charm.

It's June and our roses are in bloom! #roses

Saying goodbye to our family cat today. My parent's got her when I was in college, living at home 50% of the time. She was a good kitty. I'll miss her. Love you Lola bunny🤍

How is she 3 months old already?!
