brought my kids to the fair last night... our time was short but they had fun. Only spent $40 on food 😅

My kids standing in line waiting for a rollercoaster. They're the group with the girl in all pink.

when you have to spend $7 on milk to get it from the closest walkable place. That's the poor tax

Receipt from a Maverick gas station where it shows I paid 6.99 for a gallon of whole milk today at 7:11pm

my other two girls go to a charter school (no judgement, it's what works for them) & they are doing a "low-tech" start to the school year. This week they've been writing letters to their future selves by hand, then typing them up on old school typewriters

mad at myself for not taking 'before' photos of my thrifted dolls before I clean & fix their hair. This one was a lot of work & now she might be one of my favorites

Rainbow High doll Violet Willow, cheerleader version. She has long purple hair that I styled into twists because it was all matted together before. She's wearing grey clothes because the good thrifted dolls never have clothes

look at the 420 goodie bag I just got from my regular dispensary 🥰 $75 worth of freebies

A green gift bag with white paper sticking out the top. The paper is covered in green pot leaves, bongs and pipes.

An assortment of weed related goodies like edibles and a disposable vape. There are also 2 small pre-rolls, a mini skateboard, and a bunch of stickers

used a miniverse cheat sheet to only get exactly the ones I want for my collection... this one was so extremely worth it 🥰💖

a Miniverse ball from the Hello Kitty and Friends series 2 featuring My Melody and Kuromi flower pots with tiny plastic flowers in them. It also came with themed potting mix and a purple shovel with Kuromi's name on it

moving houseplants around today & noting there's a handful of them that I've kept alive now for 6+ years. Like this Congo Rojo Philodendron, one of my favorites. I love the way the new leaves turn dark reddish-green as they grow in 🌱

a philodendron with medium to large sized dark green leaves is held up on a plant stick and sits in a purple ceramic pot. It is outside now and some of my rock collection is on the ground next to it

look at this beautiful doll I thrifted this weekend. I'm obsessed with her hair 🥰 she's missing her accessories tho, apparently she comes with a sick guitar

A Black Barbie doll wearing a pink mini dress and thigh high pink boots. Her hair is a gorgeous puffy afro with brown on top and blue/purple at the back

Same doll now sitting up with a close up on her face. According to Google this is part of the Barbie Career of the Year Women in Film set, she's the musician

watching Animaniacs on tubi while I put this together... can't believe I actually thought all my mini things would fit in this display 🤦🏼

contents of the Miniverse Make it Mini Spaces Hello Kitty set. Items are packaged in cute HK themed wrappers in pink and red. Some things are covered in paper that says "fragile" and "this way up"

finished display with all my Hello Kitty Miniverse miniatures crammed in there. It's kind of a mess

got all my kids together today, so I'm treating it like another cooking holiday. Made scones this morning & about to do something with apples... then later I'm making pastelillos. My oldest brought us the Seahawks treats 💚💙
