iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

At risk of being corny or too inspirational, this graphic spoke to me today. How often do we get reminders of the things that actually are in our control? Personally, I always need help with that kind of wisdom. H/T Fabulous app #tinyjoys #focus #serenity #growthmindset #wisdom #mentalhealth

Things you can control: Your sleep routine. How you speak to yourself. Who you follow on social media. What you eat. Your mindset. The way you treat others. Your level of honesty. Your outlook. How soon you try again after you fail.

A recent trip to the Fredrik Meijer Gardens to see all the butterflies was free and part of a special sensory friendly event. Perfect low key atmosphere specially hosted for individuals like my two daughters with autism. #SensoryFriendly #CelebrateDiversity #tinyjoys #springbreak2026

Fuchsia and white orchids take center stage amidst lush tropical greenery.

Black butterfly with pink spots alights on a green leaf. Butterfly is out of focus due to its quick movement.

Butterfly with intricate brown design on wings (that serves as a perfect camouflage when it’s resting) takes a snack break on some over-ripe fruit. This butterfly sports a gorgeous bright blue color on the inside of its wings visible when it flies.

Black butterfly with light turquoise daubs on the top of each wing just landed on the edge of a bowl full of nectar.

Listening to the instrumental quintet at church make some beautiful music. Featuring French horn, bassoon, 2 flutes, and piano. As a former horn player, I’m loving the warm tones of that mellow brass instrument. #church #music #UU #openness

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

I have a whole new appreciation this April for “Northern Attitude” by Noah Kahan says the Michigander by way of Minnesota and Wisconsin. “Forgive this Northern attitude, I was raised out in the cold… I was raised with little light.” #ReadyForSpring youtu.be/-fUfHerrgmQ?...

So I embraced my Czech heritage tonight and made Česneková polévka, Garlic Potato Soup. I am choosing to believe that this is the potato soup my dad was nostalgic for so often. Grandma Marie Jirak’s soup, it’s a Czech staple apparently, so how could it not be right? #heritagecooking #czech #dinner

Green bowl full of chicken broth based soup with potatoes, Swiss cheese, egg ribbons, and dark rye croutons.

Can’t find the reel this came from, but used recipe as a guide. I felt it warm in my chest while drinking and that still feels good. Iranian Tea for Colds for every 1 cup of milk, use 5 dates, 2 whole walnuts, and 3-5g of fresh ginger. Cardamom and cinnamon to your liking. #HomemadeRemedy #Iranian

Making a single Round Steak into a meal for 5. Beef & Broccoli Ramen - but I also added onions, green onions, fennel, a Daikon radish, spinach, and a little arugula. And I used more ramen than suggested. natashaskitchen.com/beef-and-bro... #CSAshare #gardening #homecooking #cookingsky #eatyourgarden

A neighbor broke the ground up for me this summer with a backhoe that he’d rented for his own use one weekend. The cardboard is to keep the weeds down - functioning like landscape paper. I will likely layer mulched leaves and chipped yard debris over it. Then let it sit for the winter like that.

Prepping my new planting area for next spring. Along back fence I am going to plant forsythia, coneflower, blue sage, English lavender, black eyed Susan, white lilac, hydrangea, sunflower, climbing rose, passion flower, and clematis seeds and see what happens. #gardensky #tinyjoys #gardening 🌱

That’s a load-bearing “if” there. The one i attended had a bustling area full of tents with petitions, political education, and volunteer signups for mutual aid and ICE watch. People are more likely to take real action when they’ve had a chance to speak with people who are taking action.

A version of hubby’s White Chicken Chili. Two girls mostly love the accompanying tortilla chips best 🤣 Hubby was too tired to eat dinner tonight. That makes a full crock pot of chili for me and Triplet E. #tinyjoys #homecooking #cookingsky #soupseason #fallfavorites

I call it Ratatouille Risotto and it’s a 1 pot meal. I used ratatouille vegetables, added a sweet potato and a delicata squash. Fresh greens and herbs, then rice and broth. Finished with mozzarella and Parmesan. Very complex and velvety great way to use CSA veggies. #cookingsky #CSA #homecooking

🔥3/4 of my family were MURDERED in the Holocaust. I heard the stories & the horror first hand. What is going on in America under Donald Trump's Administration is chillingly similar to Hitler's rise to power. ICE detention centers have immigrants REFUSED due process & DEATHS WITH ZERO TRANSPARENCY!🔥

Finished off with some lemon zest, lemon juice, and some capers. (Also took down a container of vegetable broth I had prepared and frozen before and I used as necessary to keep it from getting too sticky while cooking.) 6/7

At this point I remembered I had about one serving left from the Aldi-brand packaged fettuccine Alfredo side dish I made for kids’ lunches earlier. I dumped it in and stirred it hoping it would just get lost in the new meal. 4/7

Lisa Roberts @lisajustlisa.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Next, I added the cooked and drained fettuccine into the pan with the greens. Added 2 chopped fresh tomatoes. Cooked a bag of creamed spinach in the microwave and added it to the pan. Then I stirred in about a cup of heavy cream and seasoned heavily with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. 3/7

Lisa Roberts @lisajustlisa.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Cooked 16 oz box of fettuccine, melted 3 tablespoons of butter in a large fry pan, added chopped Swiss chard stems, sautéed for a few minutes, added 2 cups or more of chopped up fresh mixed greens (Swiss chard leaves, fresh spinach, & mixed greens), cooked until leaves started to wilt. 2/7

I started with a recipe from Country Living (link in thread below), then made it my own. Kids liked it a lot, Daddy ate about four or five bites. Leftovers for two girls’ lunch thermoses. #Tinyjoys #HomeCooking #CSA #CookingSky #CookWhatYouGrow What I did follows in the thread 1/7

None of us should feel exempt or invulnerable, because if they can do this to our neighbors, they can come for us, too. That said, those of us who are not presently among those being targeted should not focus on our own fear and vulnerability. We should support those in the immediate path of harm.
