What an underwhelming finale to the Ninth House trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. I don’t read much fantasy—it has to be VERY well written to suspend my disbelief—but I loved the first 2 books in this series. Book 3 was a disappointment, however. Just silly and forced.

I tossed treats around the basement for Milo to hunt while we waited out the tornado warning. He was kind enough to sweep up some cobwebs for us 😂

I paid for my MIL’s cremation so I feel I am entitled to keep a small portion of her ashes I’m on the hunt for the tackiest mini urn I can find, and boy howdy am I spoiled for choice

DuckDuckGo search results for “cute fun keepsake urn” featuring one with clouds and butterflies, another with an AI generated cartoon owl, and still another with what I initially mistook for a playboy bunny but is in fact the silhouette of a regular rabbit superimposed over a crescent moon

More keepsake urns search results - a purple stone teardrop with a decorative cross and stag; one titled “prismatic speed illusion car”; and at least 4 versions with angel wings, Bible quotes in script lettering, and intense Live-Laugh-Love aesthetic

🌼MORE WALLS DESERVE FLOWERS🌼 Call me crazy but I think more plain walls need to be given the grandma’s-couch floral treatment 🤷‍♀️ I made this #mural concept mockup for a building at my local park. Wouldn’t this be way more fun to see at your kid’s soccer game than a blank brick wall?!

I’ve been using the free Milanote app to curate and organize my new pattern collection. It is SO HELPFUL to be able to see everything all at once and drag/drop to rearrange elements and try new combinations. Like moving fabric swatches around on a table top. #surfacepatterndesign

Trust the process: unclench your butt and let it unfold. …that sounds like your butt is going to unfurl like laundry in the wind. “It” means the process. Not your butt. Like, whatever process you are currently not trusting in? Stop that. But also relax your butt muscles. KickassFlairClub.com

Tropical #mural progress! 🌺🌴 First coat of paint is up. I did 14 colors over 100 ft in 2 days, not bad! Just have to fix those wonky leaves that wrap around the corner 😅 then it’s on to the second coat!

As soon as we landed I called the rental car place in a panic because we arrived later than expected and I thought they were closed and I wouldn’t be able to pick up my car but no worries they had actually chased down our plane to hand deliver my rental car to me as I stepped out onto the tarmac!!!

Made it safely to the Keys! We hit some *weather* over Georgia but I kept my cool through the turbulence by pretending we were in a flight simulator instead of a 4-seater jet 35,000 feet in the air
