Christmas Pins to Ungrinch Christmas!

So, what would you imagine could be the worst thing to wake up to right after Thanksgiving, when you're walking out the door to go grocery shopping? Well, my sweet daughter Kayley woke up to a nightmare on Sunday when she headed outside to find that her car had been stolen from right outside her place. Who would ever expect to have their 16-year-old VW Passat Wagon stolen? Here is Kayley with ...

Instant Pot – Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

I've been in such a soup mood lately! Most of my family's soup favorites are super heavy, cream-laden, full of cheese and bacon and other amazing things, which is AWESOME, but sometimes you want something a little lighter. This soup is fantastic because it is super thick and hearty without the added fat and calories of cream. I based it on several recipes I've tried over the years, and after some ...

Instant Pot Boiled Eggs – No Peeling!

You know those things you see kicking around Pinterest but never try? Well I tried this and it worked out so well! I was making my super awesome potato salad today which calls for 8 boiled eggs, peeled and chopped. Did you know you can just crack them in a bowl and put the whole bowl in your Instant Pot? No ice bath or peeling required. The resulting bowl-shaped egg loaf is initially ...

New Pin: Oh NO Baby, What is You Doin??

I can't get enough of these guys DancingDan @danrue and Nick Joseph @nicknpattiwhack and the videos they post on Instagram - they basically film themselves being obnoxious in public places and messing with people. As much as that annoys me when little whiny teenagers do it, these guys crack me UP! Nick has a bunch of little catchphrases, among them, we live, baby! and Oh NO baby, what is you ...

  • This table is how I feel after walking around for 5 years at #ParkerDays last night.
  • I love this store and these people and their story and basically everything they do. I already adored them and then I saw in their IG stories how they dealt with losing their entire trade show booth at the national stationery show. They just made the absolute best out of a nightmare situation, creating a beautiful booth out of magic and gum wrappers and elbow grease. They're only an hour south of me and I plan to take a trip down there this summer to get goodies for everyone I love. Go give them lots of support! They are changing the perception of everyday normal shit for our #LGBTQ+ sisters and brothers, one greeting card at a time! #Repost @ladyfingersletterpress (@get_repost) ・・・ Forget everything you know about the rainbow-washed corporate money-grab that is the month of Pride. Yes, we are a business. We make things. We sell things. We participate in capitalism. But this is what it’s all about, y’all: In the last 24 hours, I’ve had two interactions with different mothers in our shop who were weeping tears of joy as we discussed the status of their children’s transitions. One had just found out that her 9-year-old daughter’s name change had become officially legal 5 minutes ago and our shop was the first place she came to celebrate. She was shaking with tears of joy as she told me the news–she hadn’t even told her daughter that the letter had come in the mail and was looking for items to adorn the announcement. The second was a mother who was just notified that her kid is now using they/them pronouns and was looking for education and direction about how to be a better ally. Patience. Acceptance. Tolerance. Love. This is what the LGBTQ+ community has fought for and is what we carry in our hearts in this month of Pride and everyday. However you choose to celebrate it is up to you. Maybe it’s buying a card or wearing a pin to show your love and support. Maybe it’s spending time with someone who needs a kind and patient ear. Maybe it’s educating yourself about how you can be a better ally. Maybe it’s finding the courage to come out and be who you are. Pride is for everybody, and we wish you all a happy and healthy month of celebrating what makes us all unique.

  • Timehop just reminded me of that fateful day one decade ago when I decided purple sand was the dopest thing I'd ever seen and thought it'd be great to fill up the sandbox with. I think the post traumatic vacuum trauma actually made me block it out. Remember this @thesauciestman ? Shit was EVERYWHERE. Flashes of purple in every sidewalk crack and couch pillow for like a year afterward. Not my best idea. . . . . . . #tbt #purplesand #purplenightmare #justsayno #ohthehumanity #kidseventhoughtitwasweird #2009wasweird
