I did a cartooning class with my 8 yo and we drew a little dude. My son (4) asked if he could have it and when I said yes, he goes: “aww mom! That is so kind of you!” 🩵🥰

This is my 5yo’s graph currently (she’s asleep). So of course I checked her bg with a finger poke (complete with alcohol swab scrub down); it’s 338. Dexcom, this is unacceptable.

LOOK AT THESE BUNS. First attempt at bierock. Unconventional filling, but overall I’m actually really pleased with them! Go me

I’m not allowed to go to the pet store anymore 😂 This is either Marceline or Lenore, not sure yet. Very sweet; but kind of spicy too.

Ok listen. I love this idea. Especially because my oldest decided to be the grim reaper for Halloween.

This cat is ridiculous 😂 that’s a mostly full bag of Cheetos on her head and she came out with 2 in her mouth 😂 I appreciate the tenacity.

Sometimes the cat distribution system works by sending you strays. Other times it comes in the form of Humane Societies. We didn’t intend to adopt so soon after losing our dear Vincent, but maybe he sent Miss Lucy to us. However it happened, we’re glad she’s here 🥰

JFC today is international cat day, too. Vincent, you absolute diva 💔

Losing a pet is never easy. Losing a pet suddenly and unexpectedly only adds layers to that terrible bit of cake. Rest well, Vincent. You can now eat all the dryer sheets you want while basking in the eternal sun 🌈🩵

Happy Father’s Day to this guy. He makes life so fun, is the best dad for our kids, & loves them so fiercely. I cannot imagine a better partner and father. I know he hates pictures of himself, but this is absolutely one of my favorites. He’s so handsome & kind - we love you 🥰😍 @ggengar.bsky.social

As a parent, you often worry you’re screwing your kid up. Then they do something like this on their own and you realize they’re going to be okay 🥲

About a year ago, we had to put one of our dogs down. She was very old, health wasn’t the greatest, & it was just time for her. We knew it, she knew it. Our oldest kept asking for a new pet & we kept saying not yet. The universe works in wild ways & today we brought little Luigi home 🩵

So you know how sometimes you have a gut feeling that feels like it’s meant to be? I don’t have those a lot, but anyway. Here’s this little guy, we get to meet tomorrow 🥰 he just needs a name. I have: Sprocket Comet Zephyr

Kiddo’s G7: 58➡️ Kiddo’s finger poke: 378 “Most accurate” uh huh. Sure. When the insulin pumps are paired to the sensor, making treatment decisions w/that information, you’re going to get someone killed.

This little orchid bloomed once already, around August/September. The blooms fell off prematurely in November - 1 hung on until Christmas. Then new blooms developed and this week, one opened. I now have 2 orchids who bloomed twice between Dec and now. There’s a metaphor in there…

I went to one of those pottery painting/firing places with a friend yesterday, and anyway, I painted a cow. I’m not very creative, but it’s cute.

I am learning to live without the judgment of others. I don’t have to perform well to have value. That being said, I’m actually proud of this dinner. Turkey not pictured, but it was actually pretty good for my first time

I had pasta and a drink at dinner tonight. I under bolused because I knew I’d be driving home and didn’t want to risk going low. I got home around 8.30. Nice of the insulin to wait to kick in I guess? But also, what the fuck? *I am ok

Ok so listen. I am a BIG supporter of leaving leaves because they help the insects that we need to, y’know - live, but THESE FUCKERS stripped my peppers, carrots, and marigolds, & broke my child’s heart. They can fuck right off.
