Each year my grandpa made turkey soup after Christmas. He’s too old to do it now, so I’m carrying on the tradition. It’s a super simple recipe that his parents used during the Great Depression. I’m so happy to carry this on for my kiddos!

If I ever got another fursuit (and that’s a very big if, considering I’m running on teacher pay lol), I’d want a reindeer 😆 I just love the way all these reindeer fursuits look!

My oldest kiddo is running a fever and my husband had what seems to be a stomach bug. Merry Christmas! 😆

I've wanted to make a badger for probably almost as long as I've been building fursuits and I finally did it. Say hello to Mushroom 🍄🍄🍄 #fursuit #fursuits #fursuiting #fursonalities #dumbanimalfursuit

Alton Brown’s brine recipe is *chef’s kiss*

Not the most put together mantle but I love it!

Another favorite done for RebelSqurl from waaaaay back when!

Praise the lordt Carolina won!!!!!

This UNC game has me on edge

Happy holidays! An old commission I did, but one of my absolute favorites!

My husband is super sick, quarantined in the bedroom. Please send positive vibes that our kiddos don’t get sick! 😭

25lbs down and I am feeling so much better. 25 more to go and I’ll be at my goal weight!

Finished a self indulgent piece before art fight 😌 thank u kesha for the inspo #furry #furryart

What do yall set your thermostat at in the winter? Curious.

All these people up in arms about their kids having a remote learning day bc of snow. And all I can think about are the countless homeless people freezing outside in this weather, and the disservice this country does to those less fortunate. 🙁

Your favorite Christmas traditions….. aaaaand go!

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!!! Now I go….cook all day 😆

22.4lbs down, around 30lbs more to go and I’ll be at my goal weight!!!! 2.5 months of dedication and hard work but I feel SO much better!

Celebrating my birthday today in this exact red sweater, with this exact latte, heading to work but coming home to an impeccably clean house.

It’s my birthday! Almost out of my 30s. What a wild ride!

Just cleaned the grout in our kitchen. Anyone have grout sealer recommendations?

Realized I’ve just been too negative on here, so let’s post some positive stuff! Happy sweet Frankie, who belongs to TheTiedTigress. 💕

Super oldie but goodie.

It’s sweater weather!

I have worked so hard to lose weight. I’m down almost 14lbs. While I have at LEAST 30 more to go, I feel so much better. I can fit into pants and shirts I wasn’t able to before!

Old commission closeup that I did. Long time ago but I sure loved this piece!

I opened more boxes! A huge thank you to Lorelei V,Tinzel, Jessica B, Casey H,Allen H, elk-cat, Dae, and Lacey!!!!! I appreciate you!!!! I won’t need snacks for a while for my kiddos 🥰💕

A HUGE thank you to Casey H, Jessica B, and Devon Orca (the poems made me chuckle!)!!!!! Thank you all so so so much!

BIG thank you to Snarrfle, Lacey, Allen H, Dae, elk-cat for your generosity! I’ve got about 10 more boxes to unload (will do that later this week!) but my car’s trunk is filled with snacks I’m taking to work tomorrow!!!!

Still one of the pieces I’m most proud of

I am overwhelmed by y’all’s generosity thank you so much! I should hopefully have enough snacks to get us by for a few months, you guys purchased lots of snacks! Thank you for helping the “snack momma” as they call me, and more importantly THANK YOU FOR FEEDING HUNGRY STUDENTS!

I tried to put some cheap snacks on there but any help is appreciated. Many students go home to no dinner at night and no food on the weekends. I try to help where I can, but I seem to have a lot of hungry kids this year and want to help them. Even sharing this would be super helpful!

I work at a Title I (very low income) school. My snack supply is depleted and I have lots of hungry kids coming to me daily asking for snacks. I’ve bought a couple boxes but need more. If you’d like to donate to help my students, please consider my list! Please share! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Down 6.5lbs since Sunday on Optavia. The food sucks but it works and I feel great. Guess I was doing shitty things to my body

I am very grateful my children were born before this current administration and have had most of their vaccines already.

If you’re still arguing the MMR vaccine (or any vaccine for that matter) causes autism… please read up on Andrew Wakefield. A fucking fraud. Vaccines are HELPFUL. Do yourself a favor

A lovely dragoness investigating a special guest, commission for @elionking.bsky.social !

Oh my god baby fever just hit me hard. I have to remind myself I cannot afford 3 kids. But seeing all these cute fall clothes for kids has me 🥰

Every single fucking resource I use in my classes has to be approved. My curriculum is a shell that I have to fill in because there are no textbooks. How can I spend all this time getting shit approved? I have no time. Teachers quit bc of shit like micromanaging. Fucking MAGA needs to step back.

Today I found out I’m losing my coordinator stipend and my husband is losing his dept chair stipend. We will also no longer get bonuses for our AP scores. That, combined, is a $6k loss for us. Please send up some well wishes to the universe. We could really use them. #teacherproblems

Who is in denial about us inching closer to authoritarianism? 🤔

Love how I filled out a supply order at the end of the school year in May. Today I got 1/4th of the supplies I requested. One highlighter instead of a box of highlighters, to give you an example. And most of what I TRULY need, I didn’t even get a fraction I 💕 teaching but this is not sustainable

An old piece but I sure loved working on this.

What’s one thing you will splurge on? For me, it’s kerrygold butter. Nothing compares

You are loved and you deserve to be here. Happy Saturday 💕

Man. I love my job most days but I wish it paid enough for me to actually be able to buy new clothes. I’m literally wearing the same clothes I wore ten years ago teaching. At least the clothes have held up!

I am so proud of this piece. Done for RebelSqurl way back when.

I have to remind myself my kids won’t care what they wear, because Gymboree has such cute clothes but it’s too expensive for my budget. I’m ready to not be broke, but I’m not ready to give up my job
